BCN, Barcelona, El Prat
Booked: MBMR Ford Ka Received: EDMR VW Polo 1.2 TSI 105 Status: Platinum Very happy with that, great for clipping around town. |
LHR, London Heathrow T5
Booked: CDMR Citroen C4 Received: CWMR Vauxhall Astra Estate with only 300 miles on the clock and totally spotless condition Status: Gold Another nice rental from the friendly team at T5 |
DXB, Terminal 3->1
Booked: Nissan Tiida Received: C-Class C200 Status: Diamond Somewhat sad that it was only a single-class upgrade, BUT on the upside it was a decked-out AMG package C-class - so while still a flimsy 2-liter motor, it had AMG floor mats, AMG mags, AMG performance seats (!) and a fire extinguisher (!!!!!!). Overall, I guess I'm happy, though I would have preferred a convertible or something :) |
First Rental with Sixt - Platinum Card (Hhonors Diamond) - Atlanta Midtown Georgian Terrace Hotel:
Booked: ICAR Received: LCAR (Mercedes C250 with Navigation and Satellite) Had some concerns regarding the deposit policy (minimum $250 in Georgia regardless of rental rate or car rented, found here), but the agent on duty and the branch manager went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure I got into a nice car ^^ If you are Platinum, at least for this branch, they won't make you pay the minimum $850 deposit for PCAR+ and will knock it down to $250. |

Location: MIA Booked: FCAR (Camry) Received: E350 which, upon actually going to the lot with a phenomenally friendly and attractive attendant, was apologetically switched to an E350 Cabriolet, which she wanted to initially give me but thought it was no longer there (and once she found it, she immediately replaced the "normal" E350 with it). I'm really, really floored. Love Sixt. Keeps getting better and better. |

Interesting....I didnt know they could 'adjust' the deposit. My rental as plat down in Atlanta last time was out of the airport, for a XFAR required a $4,000 deposit...... |

Good to know for my upcoming res at LAS. Just got an E63 S AMG from Hertz and they added just 200USD on top of the expected rental price.

Location: PHX Booked: FCAR (Camry) Received: BMW X5 with 18000 miles. Smelled a bit of smoke. Saw a grey E350 sitting and swapped it. The E350 had about 16000 miles, but still wasn't too bad. Good stuff Sixt. |
Status: Platinum
Location: KAO Booked: CWMR Received: IFMR (Honda CR-V). Pros: Highly appreciated as I had a lot of skiing equipment, lots of space! Cons: All necessary info was already given at the time of the reservation, but still the clerk asked everything again at the counter (starting from CC and other details) This month to MAD, I booked a BMW1 and I'm hoping for a 3/5-series.... |
Seattle:
Booked full-size, was supposed to get an E350 but it needed an oil change and they only had 3, 2 of which were already prepaid - so got a GLK350 instead. Still satisfied. Will try again next week for the E. :) Side note: damn, the GLK saps gas. The E350 'vert I had a week ago felt like it got double the mileage. |
Status: Platinum
Location: LAS Booked: LFAR Received: XFAR (ML 350) |

Did you get that as an upgrade or did you pay for that?

Plat
MAD Booked bmw1 (sorry, don't recall the code) Would have Received insignia, So a "generous" upgrade would have been the minimum one , +1 group. I booked&paid early (high rate), there would have been significanly lower rates near the "D-day", so obviously the demand wasn't high. Sixt has "premium " rates so only the minimum upgrade didn't made this customer happy. With plat card I received a decent ~6 class upgrade in Finland, But the "game" seems to differ a lot here in spain Coming back to MAD in autumm, and then the choice is easy, I'll take My money elsewhere. You can easily find better rates with zero-excess from Hertz trough autoeurope If sixt provides only minimum upgrades I can hardly see the Incentive to book again from them. In addition; I paid for zero-excess but still they debited a deposit...? Sorry for the typos, autocorrect ! |
Platinum
Paris Booked: BMW X1 Received: 2014 BMW 530d with 21xx km on the clock! Had the BMW new NAV and everything. |
