Munich Airport Drop Off

FYI, I sent an e-mail today to (drop-off-munich@loginout.de) and received the following response within an hour. Just wanted to confirm my drop off time/date. I gave the my name, make of vehicle and VIN. I guess the VIN would have identified the make/model.


We are open Monday thru Friday 08:30am to 04:30pm and Saturday 10:00am to
02:00pm except Sundays and all legal German holidays.
So, what time would you like to come on 6th June?

For drop-off , please bring your passport and all documents provided by BMW.

• Original Purchase Order
• Original International Registration (Green)
• Original Insurance Attached to Registration (Yellow)
• Original Confirmation of Registration (green)
• Original confirmation of Insurance (white)
• Original Data Confirmation (white)
• Passport

If nothing is missing, the drop-off procedure and paperwork will take around
30 minutes.

Please ensure there are no personal belongings including the warning
triangle, first aid kit, the IPod Adapter and any electronic devices left in
the car. There aren’t any loose items allowed in the car during shipment
according to the shipment regulations.

The tank shouldn't be filled more than 1/3 of the volume.

On your arrival at the airport please be sure, to look for a ‘Log In Out
drop off’ plate.

I didn't even give them any information about the car, just that I was going to drop one off on a certain date. I also gave them a range of time I would probably be there to drop it off...missed that time by at least an hour though! Drop off is pretty quick.

If you need to get back to Munich for the night or for whatever, they're really close to the S-bahn stop at the airport. If you're in their office and facing the desk, there is a door to the right that goes outside (opposite side of the building where you came in). Head out that way and the S-bahn is right in front of you on the lower level.

I just emailed them and made an appointment for my drop off. Looking forward to the new location.

Rusty, thanks for the shortcut tip as we are taking the S-Bahn back into Munich to drink beer.

Where is drop off located in relation to Kempinski? Any one has a map of MUC
with drop off clearly marked on it?

LOGINOUT is located just before the Hotel Kempinski, right after you turn right, on the right hand side. If you follow the signs for Hotel Kempinkski or have the navigation system take you to Hotel Kempinski, you can't miss it.

There is also a piece of paper that you get in your paperwork at BMW Welt that has a map and pictures of the location including the right hand turn you make to get to the Hotel Kempinski and cars parked at the location. Just beyond there are a series of six ventilation stacks that look like they're cut diagonally at the top.

It's almost impossible to miss.

I'll find it for sure now after your detailed description.
Thanks a bunch SD!

Well, I missed it. Between my nav system and the paperwork from BMW Welt, I figured I had it nailed -- but for the life of me I couldn't find it. Eventually, we parked in front of the hotel and my wife went in to ask where LOGINOUT was. The front desk had never heard of it, so they called the number to get directions. The woman at LOGINOUT said, "It's probably easier if I just walk over." Fifteen seconds later, a woman came walking out of the office block opposite the hotel.

So another description is that it's in the ground floor of the office building across the grass from the Hotel Kempinski. If you overshoot it, just go around again. I was expecting a separate building with a big sign and a parking lot out front -- sort of like a car rental agency. Instead, it's a small office in an office building with no special parking area. The sign is small, and we'd missed it because of a big truck parked in front of it.

Below is a picture of my car in front of LOGINOUT -- the hotel is the building in the background.

LOGINOUT is actually right next to Terminal 2. To get back to Munich, we walked into Terminal 2 and then took the Lufthansa Airport Bus back to the center of the city. 10.50 Euros per person one way.

It's this close:

I sent an email to confirm my June 10th drop-off last night before I went to bed, and a reply was waiting for me when I got up this morning. Exactly the same email text that Wine-O got ... it must be their standard form reply.

Here are the same two pictures that are on the piece of paper that you get in your paperwork at BMW Welt. If you follow the signs for Hotel Kempinski after you get to the airport, you will eventually turn right off the main road towards the Hotel Kempinski and you will see the hotel farther down the road on the left. If you look to the right immediately after turning right, you will see LOGINOUT just as it shows in the pictures with the six ventilation stacks just beyond the LOGINOUT parking area. Note that it is IMMEDIATELY after you turn right, basically on the corner, so when you turn right expect to pull into a parking spot. Don't make the right turn and then start looking or you could miss it that way as the LOGINOUT signpost is not very big. As you can see, there is nothing on the building itself that identifies it as LOGINOUT, at least nothing you can see from the road.





Here's a link to where these pictures are on the LOGINOUT website:

I don't know. BMW Welt's statement was, "You basically want to be running on fumes when you drop it off." However, I didn't want to (1) run out of gas in a country where I didn't speak the language and (2) get below the level recommended in the BMW Manual (along the lines of "Refill when you have around 30 miles left; otherwise, we can't be responsible for weird engine behavior" [I think because the fuel pump is embedded in the gas tank and actually cooled by the gasoline]) so I returned it with it slightly over 1/3 full. No one said anything.

The guys at Log In-Out (and Harms before them) probably have a nifty little siphon setup that they use for those of us who aren't brave enough or calculating enough to pull into the parking space with no more than a teacupful of gas left in the tank. I'd guess they spend less than a hundred bucks a year at their local gas station.

Last thing I wanted to do was to leave $120 worth of gas in the car for them to siphon. I was so low I had to put in half-a-gallon at the Agip station at the airport entrance just to make sure I could get to the dropoff.

Don't feel bad if you can't find it. I thought with all the posts I'd read here, the nav system, and the welt docs I'd find it. Ended up driving right by it and asking several people at the hotel. One of them pointed out the way. Felt pretty stupid but you gotta love how convenient the location is.

Does anyone know if the new In and Out location allows you to fill out the paperwork in advance and leave a spare key with them so that you can drop off the car after hours? I read in prior posts that the old location allowed you to do so, and would not have to pay the 100+ euro fee for them to come after hours for drop off.

I have an 8:45am flight scheduled to leave Sunday morning, and was hoping to drop off the car early Sunday AM and then hop on my flight.

Your best bet is to email them ahead of time. They will do afterhours drop offs, but you have to set it up with them.

+1
From the photo/map they give you it's pretty easy to determine you're in the general vicinity. But actually the Loginout sign is very obscure. To compound the issue a bit, the door on the Kempenski side of the office building is kind of disguised architecturally, for a very flush and modern look. I ended up walking all the way around the building to the courtyard/terminal side. I felt silly when we walked out to do the vehicle check and the rep led me out the 'secret' door.

Mace, it was great to meet you at the drop off. I see my car in the background of your picture! Hope you all had a nice time.

My clue was the fact there were 6 cars parked there with RED license plates of the form "M 2703 Z"

Made it easy to find!

My clue was you and Sylvia standing there waiving your arms at us as we turned the corner! That made it REALLY easy to find!

Our flight out is 11:35 am on July 12. Is it feasible to drop the car off at Login-out when they open and then make it into the airport for that time for the flight? Would we need a taxi to go from dropoff to the terminal or can we walk?

LOGINOUT opens at 8:30 and paperwork takes less than 1/2 hour. Terminal 2 is a 5 minute walk out the back door of LOGINOUT and across the plaza. We dropped our car off at 9:30 and made a 12:30 flight with no problem. They recommend 3 hours prior to your flight and you're right in that window. You'll be fine.

No problem. The drop off is quasi-attached to the terminal. Might be 200 feet away. Paper work and inspection only take 20-30 minutes. You would be well served to wash the car prior to identify any scratches or dings. If you can get to the airport by 9:30-9:45 you should be right as rain.
