Hello, i do have a upcoming reservation in Germany, my first time renting with sixt there, I'm platinum, the reservations details are:
pick-up station: Berlin Tegel Aéroport Flughafen Tegel/MWZ
class: LPAN
MODEL: Premium class e.g. BMW M550d Limousine/Touring *NAVI* or similar.

My question is, what in the world is similar to the BMW Motorsport/380hp/diesel? Sixt took almost 7 days to confirm my booking(This vehicle group is only available upon request. Our Sixt station will contact you within 2 working days.) and I don't know besides the M550 which other car may I get. Could someone please clarify that?

Could anybody tell me how high the deposit for renting a car (IDMR-Class) in Finland would be? Let's say: 3 weeks, renting costs: 1.300€.

I can't find any information on the Sixt website.

Title says it all, does anyone have info about the STMR-selection at DUS, Germany?
Mostly interested in hearing if BMW is not a hard thing to get, what about the engines?
Or is STMR usually just "upgraded" to a VW Golf/equivalent?

In a German car rental forum they are listing (mietwagen-talk.de) BMW 2 series cabrio or Audi A3 cabrio as the only possible cars in that category. About the engines, no idea really. Max 2 liter I would say, either diesel (2.0) or petrol (1.8).

Edit:
In addition, in PTMR the forum lists Audi TT, MB SLK and BMW Z4 as possible choices. Just fyi. :)

Never got any chance with this category :-/ I'm asking for 2 years now. Seems to be impossible anywhere in Germany. They gave me a X5M50D instead.
Good luck.

Sorry for the repost but my separate thread on this hasn't got any responses, but many views. I see the Sixt Customer Service account has posted in this thread since then so hopefully they can give some advice.

"Hello all,

I have called a couple of different numbers at Sixt and received a little bit of conflicting advice so I am wondering if anyone here has experience with my questions. To skip to the actual questions, just go to the numbered bullets at the bottom. The middle part of my post is just background.

I am renting a full-size SUV from MCO, returning to For Lauderdale (Port Everglades). We embark on a long cruise there, and therefore we (5 adults) are going to have a lot of luggage. I want as much cargo space as possible for this.

I called the Orlando office to ask if their Tahoes (which are listed along with Sequoia for Full-Size SUV) are model year 2015, as those have flat-folding 3rd rows. The lady on the phone (very nice, BTW) said I could try to request a Suburban when I checked in for my rental for the same price. This was the first I'd heard that Sixt had Suburbans at MCO. Obviously this would be ideal, with the larger luggage area. She wasn't able to confirm the model year.

I called today the corporate number to reconfirm, and was told that most likely the Orlando location will have switched brands to Toyota Sequoias by then, and no Suburbans OR Tahoes would be available. They transferred me again to Orlando to verify. Orlando again said that I could request a Suburban if available and had nothing to say about any switch over to Toyotas.. So I'm not sure who is more correct.

While I want to rent from Sixt because they seem to have the best prices and, to be honest, I am growing a little tired of the "big" rental companies and would love to try Sixt, at this point I may just switch the reservation and pay more to be guaranteed a Suburban from another company.

To recap my questions (sorry, I rambled a bit):

1) Are Sixt's Tahoes/Suburbans model year 2015?

2) Do Sixt's Tahoes/Suburbans have a bench middle row, or bucket seats? They are listed at "7 passenger" which would indicate bucket middle seats, but the lady on the phone in Orlando said all 5 of us would fit in the first two rows, indicating a bench middle row.

3) If anyone has rented from MCO, were you able to get a Suburban instead of a Tahoe?

4) Does anyone have any information on a fleetwide switch to Sequoias for the Full-Size SUV category?

Thanks for all/any help."

Yes, Düsseldorf. Thanks for the info, I made my reservation from the airport, was somewhat cheaper than from any other office, not to mention possibly better range of cars and not even a minute wasted getting out of airport by public transport. (Maritim was a good tip if it's so near )

What did you end up getting ?

Hi. What do you mean by got a X5m50d? You had a LPAN booking and they gave you a X5, is that correct? Even with the confirmation that take days? I won't accept that.

It is very close ( probably as close as walking to the airport counter). They get their car from the airport ( mine was a TT ultimate with 1300km brand spanking new).
But as you said sometimes the pricing can be weird ( check constantly as prices can go down if so amend your existing booking).
