Location: Fort Lauderdale Sunrise Blvd Booked: ICAR Received: IFAR VW Tiguan - First impression was this is an ugly car but actually performs pretty well. Handles a lot better than a Rav-4. Status: Platinum Location: FLL Booked: ICAR Received: SCAR VW Jetta - Agent was going to assign a Sentra which is ICAR. Only provided a one-class upgrade instead of two-class upgrade after I asked. :td: This is the same location that insist that Versa was an ICAR when sixt.com has it listed as a CCAR. :td::td: |

If you want an automatic, you should not book CPMR. You should be booking CPAR. If it was a smaller station, you might have been stuck with a manual.

Location: LAX Booked: PCAR (CLA) Received: PCAR (Volvo, they dont even stock the CLA). When I expressed frustration at the listing showing me getting a CLA tho they dont even have one....i was reluctantly offered a LCAR (BMW 328i). When i asked about something bigger i was told they had already 'upgraded me' to a LCAR. Which pissed me off a bit more as if i hadnt pushed back in the first place i wouldnt have gotten any upgrade at all (for what its worth i was only renting for 6 hours....) |

Mannheim Hbf (Can't you tell I'm there a lot...) Rented FDAR (Merc C-class) + Nav guarantee Given Merc C class (the 2015 one... so brand spanking new so no complaints), but didn't have a working Nav (was equipped but missing maps) so given A6 Avant. Kinda wished the C class had a working Nav just to test it out. Munich Arabellapark (In the Westin) Rented FDAR Given BMW 420d Convertible |

Location: DUS Maritim Hotel Booked: PTMR Received: Email morning of stating no convertible available and that I will receive an E-Class (PDMR). I quickly cancelled my reservation as I have no desire to pay PTMR if it is not a Z4 and made a new reservation for CPMR. Agent assigned the same E-Class on the CPMR rate. I booked without NAV. "Somehow" the contract got NAV added on which I corrected before signing the agreement. |
"upgrade"

Location: MAD Argüelles/T3 Booked: PDMR Received: PDMR The clerk adviced me that there is no upgrade "since this is already a premium class car".... Nice going! :td: The car had scratches all over. |
Status: Platinum
Location: MUC Airport Booked: VW Polo Manual Received: VW Passat CC Manual with NAV After no upgrade and a tired car on a recent booking from Sixt Barcelona Sants, this nice upgrade was a pleasant surprise! |

Location: FLL Booked: FCAR Received: LCAR - BMW 328i Gran Turismo Agent was originally going to assign a Honda Accord. I mentioned as Platinum I should be getting a 2-class upgrade. |

Location: LAX Booked: PCAR (CLA, tho they dont stock it, assigned a Volvo) Received: Pushed back about the lack of the advertised CLA and was 'upgraded' to a 3 series, not positive what cat they are |
Hi
Thinking about booking a standard SUV at Sixt PHX for a week in December. Is it likely I would get upgraded to a Premium SUV as a Platinum? Any disadvantage booking via Amex Travel vs Sixt online? Prices seem the same... Thanks! |
