Anyone have experience with car-sharing companies like ShareNow or SIXT in Germany and Austria?
We are going to Frankfiurt and other locations in Hesse (including Rhine cruise), then to Passau and Austria - Vienna, Carinthia and Salzburg, then to Berlin and home. I'm all for using the ubiquitous public transportation in and between the big cities, or occasionally Uber if we get stuck. I'm having trouble finding convenient connections in the more rural areas, especially trying to get to and from Kleinsasserhof in Carinthia. Advice? Vielen Dank!

In the past year I've used SIXT, Enterprise, and Hertz car rentals, but never car sharing. It's not hard to get around using the trains, buses, and subway or regional trains inside the cities. And most smaller towns also have rail and buses. But if you get stranded you'll need to use the local taxi service.

Sixt is a car rental company not a car sharing service. You will not find car sharing services in rural areas of Austria nor will you find Uber.
That location in Carinthia is best reached by renting a car.
