At MUC: the exact walking instruction

• Exit customs.
• Follow signs for “Mietwagenzentrum” (Car Rental Center).
• It’s in the Zentralbereich between Terminal 1 and 2.
• Expect a 5–10 minute walk (or short S‑Bahn hop depending on gate).

Desk success checklist (do this before they hand keys)

• Have the passport, Israeli driver’s license, and the credit card used for booking (in the driver’s name).
• Confirm you’re getting the VW Touran (or same class).
• Booster seats: you ordered 3. Verify they’re clean, latch properly, and fit.
• Ask about fuel policy (full-to-full is simplest).

Before you drive away (2 minutes that save 2 hours later)

• Photograph all sides, wheels, windshield, and the dashboard with fuel level + mileage.
• Pair phone Bluetooth and set up a “front seat kit” (wipes, trash bags, tissues, charger).
• Austria vignette check: look at the windshield for a sticker. If missing, buy a 10‑day digital vignette at the first gas station after leaving MUC (~€11.50).

Return day (Fri Aug 28)

• Fill up near (not at) the airport — the guide suggests Erding area.
• Follow signs for “Mietwagen Rückgabe” (car rental return).
• Park in your supplier’s row, hand keys over, and get a receipt.
