Instead of driving one of those generic American/Japanese/Korean cars that is easily recognizable as "oh, that must be a rental" in any hotel parking lot, you get a BMW 4 or 5 series. Damn, that's fun. I'm never renting from an American rental car agency in Europe again.

Stood in the heat for 20 minutes waiting for the shuttle while all the Hertz people got into their cars and left onsite.
Then the shuttle was a minor hike.
Then the desk took forever.
Car was nice though.


Silvercar is similar but with Audi

I use them every time I go to Denver or San Fran and they are quick, efficient, and all booking, pickup, return can be done through their mobile app. I like using them when I can and the mild premium you pay is worth it because of the quality of their fleet.


I've rented Mercedes-Benzes and BMW's from Hertz

At damn good prices, too. I wasn't even looking to rent a car like that but couldn't pass it up when I saw the price. The Mercedes was in Scotland and the BMW was in your own Munich.

I also rented a Citroen from Hertz in France that was a great car.


You have to rent a big German car when you're there

It was especially fun to scare my wife.

"We're going 180 miles an hour???!"

No, that's kilometers.

"What's that in miles?"

I ain't tellin'.
