|Jul 2023We rented an EV but on arrival they did not have any EVs charged. The replacement vehicle was nice but smelled significantly of smoke and we did not have time to return to attempt to get another vehicle.

|Jul 2023We’ve rented a lot of cars while traveling and this was easily the most stressful and strange experience. We paid for a premium luxury SUV and they brought out the dirtiest, oldest rental car we’ve ever seen. 81K miles on the clock and showed every one of them. They then tried to put us in a small sedan - there are four of us and we had four suitcases … So they said we could take a Ford Explorer. We said that was fine but we’d like the difference in cost refunded as it would have been $100 cheaper to rent that one. They said they couldn’t do that. Finally, they found us a premium luxury SUV that was (mostly) clean. Just a really bizarre experience and they kept saying there was nothing they could do, until we said we’d like to cancel and we’d walk down to another rental company. What should have taken 15 minutes ended up being an hour and a half. Totally put us off ever renting from Budget again.

|Jul 2023Line to pickup was a disaster. For awhile no one was even at the counter despite a line of 20+. System to get cars was very inefficient so each person getting their car took way longer than it should. Do not blame the counter representatives who did the best they could, but everything was poorly organized and poorly run.

|Jun 2023This past experience was horrible the car was dirty and the tire had a fast leak had to put air in the tire everyday I had the car. Don’t think I’ll rent with budget anymore

|May 2023Watch your final bill closely, they charged me for gas when I returned it full.

|Jan 2024Sixt is absolutely the worst car rental in US. They will look for anything to add up charges. Dishonest and predatory. Do NOT recommend to anyone. Something to note, cars are smaller compared to other rental companies for the same class.

|Jul 2023I will never rent cars from Sixt again. Ever. In selected the wrong date for a rental and promptly canceled the reservation one week before the rental date. Sixt forced me to pay $100 to cancel. This is grossly unfair and a predatory business practice.

|Mar 2023Car had damage to it. Engine needed maintenance but only found this out after turning the car on for the second time. Price quoted was not remotely close to the final cost.

|May 2022Despite getting a confirmation from Kayak 3 hrs before pickup, when we Ubered to the place we were told that the lady at the counter kept insisting systems were down and this reservation from Kayak was in error. She said there were no vehicles available thought the lot outside had plenty of cars… terrible experience

|May 2023Pick up and drop off was nightmare had to call to get shuttle on pick up and drop off waited for almost 40 minutes for shuttle leave the rental depot to bring to airport almost missed flight. Needs to have a more frequent shuttle or workers drive customers in the rentals.

|Aug 2022Please let people know about after-hours drop-off location. I didn't know I would be dropping off after hours and didn't realize that it was at a different location. Then the email they said to use to tell them I dropped off the car didn't work. I called to let them know. The rep said she would confirm but never did.

|Dec 2021Booked a 6pm pick up at PHL. Arrived on time to no shuttle service. Called the counter and it turns out they close at 6pm on a weekday(!!!!). Was told after a 45 minute hold with customer service that Avis would have my reservation. Got to Avis and was told by the agent and the supervisor that I was the 7th person this week with this issue and that they don’t have access to Payless’ systems and can’t look up my reservation. Wound up paying for another rental with Avis just to get out of there. Won’t be using them ever again

|May 2025The pick up was understaffed and poorly run. It took one and one half hours to pick up the car after arriving to the pick up location. After a long flight and a long drive ahead this lack of efficient service is unexceptable.

|Oct 2025Aggressive and argumentative staff at this location did not honor this reservation, instead choosing to grift for an extra $10 fee to receive a vehicle in the class reserved rather than an electric substitute. My plans were incompatible with an electric vehicle and I disagreed on principle with paying such a nebulous fee, so left without a vehicle.

|Sept 2023When booking the car no mention was made that the car was at the airport. Fortunately Thrifty is owned by Herrz who took action to loan us a car in the train station. However, on return there was confusion about closing the contract resulting in us not knowing the cost of the rental.

|Jul 2022They didn’t have our vehicle so we had to PAY for an upgrade to fit our family. The lady we dealt with was rude as heck. The upgrade we paid for was dirty with food and mold in the cup holders. NEVER AGAIN!
