Munich to Ulm Rental – SIXT rent, share, ride & plus Review

Booking the car with the app was very simple despite the different locations for pickup and drop off. Picking up the car at the airport was quite easy. The attendant did push to have more insurance on the vehicle, which I did add on reluctantly being that I was told I'd be charged if even a little stone would hit the car from cars in front. Nevertheless, I was promised an upgrade at checkin, which using Sixt before I am not a fan of their "upgrades." Even though I have a US passport, I hate driving large cars and prefer a manual gear box. The last time I used this company with a friend, we requested an A4 size with manual, they gave us an "upgrade" to a 5 series BMW - needless to say, that car was way too large, especially since we were driving to Italy, so we demanded a car like we requested.. finally ending up with a manual A4 wagon, which was still to large for certain areas we were driving. This time, they ended up giving me a SEAT Leon wagon - it actually was perfect, be it that I was transporting family members around for a wedding and tourist locations, though found it too big in some areas of travel. However, I was quite surprised how nice the SEAT drove and the functions the car provided (car play with iPhone). It was a nice upgrade all in all. At the end of the trip, despite all the construction at the Ulm Bahnhof, the attendant gave clear direction to where I needed to take the car, and the drop off was very easy. I will use Sixt again in the future - I did enjoy their service. I do hope next time they can "upgrade" me to a faster version of the car I originally booked (i.e.: upgrade from VW Golf Standard to Golf GTI), instead of something bigger in size. I might be able to deal with not having a manual gear box if that's the case.
