Prizes for guessing what we actually get!
Fiat 500L.We've just had a car from Sixt. Very good service, but I did smile when I was collecting it. It had been booked and paid for a long time ago, usual Golf/Focus/Astra size. The girl said "how many of you are there?". "Three" I replied, but then quickly added "But we have a lot of luggage" in case she was trying to convince me a Yaris was the latest Golf competitor!
If they offer me any sort of Fiat 500 there will be a scene!
We ended up with a 7 seater Fiat 500L in Italy last year for a "Golf or similar". What a munter. I was quite confused when we rocked up with 4 people plus luggage to be given a Fiat 500 key but all became clear. And offensively ugly.
Another time out of Venice, we ended up with a Dacia Sandero with the wheeziest diesel ever in place of a "Golf or similar". That was the most awful car I've ever driven and to top it off we were driving it to Nice along some beautiful roads.
We got a Lancia Thesis out of Milan (very wafty) and (many moons ago) a red Alfa 156 out of Venice down to Modena which was cool.
We're back in Italy next month, hiring a "Fiat Panda or similar" out of Lucca. Any guesses what we'll get?
