I have rented cars in Germany twice. The first time I rented an Audi A4 estate, but since they didn't have it, they upgraded me to a Volvo XC60, which was okay. This time I booked a Mercedes E-class estate, and again, they didn't have it, so they upgraded me to a Volvo XC60. Initially, I was a bit upset, but I found the XC60's noise insulation to be much better than the E-class estate I rented in the UK, and it had more space. The interior quality is much lower, and the driving feel of the Mercedes is definitely a class above Volvo.

Good experience, but the final payment hasn't been completed yet, so I can't give a full evaluation.

The service was good. Under a strong recommendation from the counter staff and considering the heavy snow, I bought full insurance. However, they upgraded the car model, so overall, it was quite affordable and reassuring.

Picking up the car is very convenient, but there might be a queue. During the peak summer season, the counters are a bit few, and self-service pick-up is not available.

The return location details are unclear, especially for out-of-town returns. It's best to ask for clarification when renting the car.
