Similar experience?
I'm disappointed to find out that LH ended this program, as I was certainly looking forward to it as part of an fct layover. Does anyone know if there are any similar programs available directly through a rental agency (avis or other)?

Both sites are working fine, I had a booking in December that had to cancel last minute but it was confirmed via email as usual.

I'm saying the websites still work (both the one promoting the offer and the one that gets you redirected to Avis' site). It also worked in December and I had confirmation emails (first with the typical "on hold" message and later with a confirmation number). I'm not sure if it will still work, but worth a try @nycbklynsfo.

- When I go to https://www.avis.de/rund-um-avis/mietwagen/prestigecars, all of the options for high end Porsches are several hundred Euros.
- For https://eixnbeweb04.rent-at-avis.com...G&RAN=,3448681 , no matter what date and time I select I get the following message when requesting a "Group C (e.g. Porsche 911 Carrera)" car: "The selected car group is not available on this station at the selected date and time. Please select another car group. We can offer you the following car groups which are all available on request only: A-B-E-F-I-J-K-L-M-N-P (GB-GB-E0145)"
Am I doing something wrong/do you see different results when you try? At the moment my inclination is to just rent a mid-level car with some kick for a day in Munich. Hertz is only charging ~$100 for a Mercedes E class or BMW 3 series, for example.

Huh. I couldn't get it to work before my trip, and at the FCT one of the agents said that she didn't think Avis still offered the program (the partnership with LH is definitively gone). I ended up doing a 3 hour rental from BMW on Demand at the BMW Welt in Munich.

National Executive Elite members can rent (any car class, such as) a BMW 3 series or similar for 1 free rental day credit. For just driving a BMW or similar around autobahn for a few hours, that's a pretty good and free option.
I tried to do this once, but it was a rainy day, so I opted to spend more hours in the FCL. The service was even more attentive, the longer you stay in the lounge. They kept bringing me nice snacks and beverages.
