Sixt Chicago
Has anyone rented from Sixt in Chicago, particularly at O'Hare? How was your experience? Did the app let you choose a car and go, or did you have to wait in line, argue with an agent about insurance, etc? Did anyone do a one-way, and how was it?

Sixt ORD Labor Day weekend
Reserved XCAR (BMW 5 series), received BMW 540i xDrive with 25k miles. Car was loaded with the Driver Assist package, & Excutive package. Car drove itself on the highway (had to grab the steering wheel every few seconds though), & also parked itself. 540i had noticeably more power (0-60 in 4.4 seconds) than the 530i.
Was offered a X5 for an additional $20 per day, or a X7 for an additional $90 per day (I didn't attempt to negotiate though). There was also a BMW X5 M60 on the lot. Upon return, there was a Mercedes Benz AMG GLC 43, and a MB G Class

As a plat I received an email instructing me to go straight to key pick up which I did.
I apparently didnt understand their 30 minute rule as I showed up an hour early.
Annoyed that they wouldnt give me a car until 30 minutes prior to my booked time I asked if there was anything they could do so they changed my arrival time to 1 hour earlier.
What they didnt tell me was that that would adjust my rate to the walk up rate so was shocked that the amount billed to my card was $300 more than quoted and my car class was downgraded.
The manager fixed the car class but couldnt get my old rate back.
Seriously frustrating.
