  Some of your posts in this thread are far from positive, so please keep working on it...

Maybe there is a Tall-GerMan forum out there where some men are wondering why girls only smile back at them in Summer, but not Winter...

I am happy it got sorted out for you, but you were the one suggesting that fraud is their business model and that they will "always find a way to outsmart you"... Clearly that is not their way of working, and in both above cases Sixt handled it well, didn't they? I still have to see a case were Sixt successfully claimed damages despite the renter having full coverage, or the renter having noted down pre-existing damage correctly...

So was it a new scratch (i.e. one you hadn’t seen before), or one of the ones you had added to the accident report? I didn’t get it. If you had added it to the report, what is the current claim?

Bottom line first: I don’t think you have a leg to stand on (read other responses), but you can try. In any case start saving to pay up.    Depending on when and where you bring back the rental, you can leave it in good faith all the time. There is no need for the renter to be present, and sometimes you can even drop the car after the office is closed. Of course if you don’t have insurance, you should make sure to check out together with a Sixt employee, or take tons of pictures that the car is OK.    I have rented with Sixt 20-30x in the course of 1.5 yrs, sometimes even without excess insurance (I know, not a smart way to save a penny), and never had any issues.    Last tip: if you want to rely on the insurance of your credit card, that does not apply for all vehicle classes, and certainly not for small trucks. 

Of course they want to meet you in person, it is the quickest and easiest way to interact with somebody in the working environment. If all it takes you is some time and flexibility, why even consider refusing that offer, for you it is also a great opportunity to see where you would work and meet more future potential colleagues in person. It’s a no brainer and you should be grateful for the opportunity. 

They will paint

You may double check with a native German speaker, but roughly:   Option 1 = treating the ceiling as I said before; smooth out wall and put ingrain wallpaper.    Option 2 = treating walls & ceiling as I said before.    So so if the price difference is minimal, option 2 would be what I’d go for, and the work suggested is certainly beyond my DIY skills...   BTW, from the quote I understand that you still have to buy the paint for the final layer, but I may be wrong, best to clarify that, including how many layers you would need. 

Also not an expert, but what you quoted in German is significantly more than just putting up wallpaper... First of all they include the ceiling. Then they will spackle it, smooth it out, prime it, and paint it. Sounds like you currently have a basic construction wall and I would say they are very right you can’t just paint over it. Probably you would need a lot of paint to make it look nice...

Search for a “Waschanlage” or “Autowashanlage” with “selbstbedienung”. https://www.sb-waschanlagen.com/muenchen/

Yes, your lawyer can.    Probably nobody here understands your story (I don’t). Why would you want to claim back money for which you have received the agreed upon services? Sounds like your landlord is being fair and wants to pay you back what you overpaid.
