Rented from Atlanta for 18 days. Was offered a Mercedes GLS, a GLC and a BMW X3 as upsell. Decided to stick to my XCAR reservation. Was assigned a Volvo S90 T5. Stepped in the car and noticed the tire pressure warning indicated a deflated tire. Had a member of the Sixt team check the actual tire pressure, a swap was recommended. Got upgraded to a Volvo XC90 T6 which was an excellent vehicle. Only downside was we were two people and the XC90 was a 7 seater version. Folded the two rear seats down, but had to get some type of tarp to cover up the luggage from outside prying eyes - which with the tinted rear windows wasn't much of a problem. Another happy rental experience.

Hi there! I am back with another question. Now I'm looking at an XDAR for a one day booking at FRA next month. I understand XDAR can be either A8, 7-Series, or S-Class, but what's the difference between XDAR, XCAN, and XLAN, since they all seem to be the same cars? I'm specifically looking for a V12 engine vehicle, so I'm not sure which out of the three should I book.

Location: BHX Birmingham UK
Date: 15th October 2018 for 6 days
Booked: CFMR (Opel Mokka)
Received: CFMR, questioned upgrade and told not available. Offered upsell of SFMR (Kia Sportage) for GBP6.50 / day (which I took, was surprisingly pleasant and only had 500 miles on the clock)
I don't remember the last time that I got an upgrade from SIXT, when I used to use Avis I got them all the time. Maybe time to switch back...

Big or small station ?
Hi Everyone,
for an upcoming trip I have a choice of various sized sixt locations to rent from in Germany.
Would you recommend renting from a larger or smaller station with regards to getting upgraded? Am probably going to take a bmw 3 series sedan - but hope for something nicer.
Thanks!

I am starting to think this CCCC lucky dip is just a con. I know it's a lottery, but the CCCC option was 3x the price of CCMR I could have booked on the day and more than premium options like A3 when I booked it but I thought I'll give it a go.

Booked: CCCC
Received: CCMR ( I think) Renault Kapture, a really basic car.
The car was really dirty, don't think it has been cleaned and I asked about other cars and was told none available, no upsell.. just nothing the ( franchise) garage was full of other cars. I looked online and could have had so many cars to book straight away. When I get back a complaint is in order.
