Poor|Feb 2023

We reserved a car for pickup on Friday at noon and dropoff on Monday. We arrive after taking a 45 minute bus ride to the office, and are told that they don’t have any cars. We’re put on a waitlist, informing us that it’ll be about a three hour wait, but that they close in three hours. At this point, we’re hoping we can wait it out and get a car on Saturday and salvage our trip. It’s now Tuesday, and at no point were we contacted about our car.

I went to pick up the car and they told me they didn't have a car available and that there was a 3-4 hours waitlist... That was really annoying because I had an out-of-town appointment I had to go to and had to cancel it.

absolutely catastrophic! I NEVER had the car. The company told me that they would not have a car available until 4 hours and that they would call me. I never had a call. I had lost my preservations for my activities that day. It's a shame. To avoid absolutely! And I will not fail to write it everywhere on the net.

Everything was great. Nice car - clean, everything worked. Easy to pick up. It was expensive, but that is the overall market these days. Thrifty was the best deal available.

We were half an hour late, I rang ahead to advise and was charged nearly the same rate as what I paid for 1 day. Whilst I appreciate there are additional fees I would have expected that given I called to advise we were going to be late, the initial 29 minute grace period might have been extended? Sadly this was not the case, and we were also not advised of the 29 minute grace period until I made the call. Had I of know about that we could have made it

The car was good.

One of the staff members' masks was below their nose almost the entire time. They gave the car to me empty on gas. The tire air pressure was also low so I had to go pay to fix that, even though I've never done it before since I don't own a car and hence why I was renting one. I spent extra money doing that since I didn't know what I was doing and needed to try multiple times. They also charged me for 8 days of tax and insurance rather than the 7 that I had booked.

Car wasn’t really clean but they remedied it when I mentioned it. Rental car prices have really gone up, which is a big problem. Staff s at both ends were really helpful and knowledgeable and nice.

The staff really Did their best to make sure I was satisfied with my vehicle and their service

They did not have the car I reserved for me because they were busy. My pickup wait time was about an hour. The tire pressure light was in the whole drive to LA. Then on the drive down a notice for an oil Change came up. There also wasn’t any wiper fluid.

Staff was friendly and car was fantastic.

They did not have the car I reserved (a mini van), so I got an SUV and it cost a lot more. It would have been nice to get some kind of offer of a concession.

Oversold cars for Presidents Day Weekend 2023, many showed up only to be told they had no cars. Dollar, if you don’t have the product, stop selling! Ruined our entire weekend planned weeks ahead.

La voiture qui nous a été donné à San Francisco, ne correspondait absolument à la catégorie réservé… Par contre le prix lui est resté. La voiture a eu des problèmes mécaniques et nous a été changée en cours de voyage. Le service client a été excellent pour le changement et la nouvelle voiture correspondait à la catégorie. Je me sent que floué sur la moitié de la location.

Conditions are all the opposite to user-friendliness, full of small print and extra charges that were supposedly included in our requests. And the guy in the counter says "well, if you booked through a third party, there is nothing I can do". So, I will never again book through KAYAK or any other third party and their hidden charges; much better to negociate directly with a company.

Hertz overcharged $100 for fuel and we returned the car the same amount it was, we didn't get any receipt and communicating with an agent via phone has been horrible, still no answers. Very bad experience with Hertz.

Pickup and dropoff were really easy. Car provided was in great condition. However there are a lot of hidden costs that aren't mentioned during online rental and also not often clarified at the counter till you look at the receipt and check the components. All in all I had a great time, but do set aside 2x the listed budget you find for these potential extra hidden costs.

I had to add liability to the rental since Priceline/kayak didn’t offer it. On balance hertz was fine but kayak didn’t save me a lot. Bait and switch.

There was a candy in the car when I got it. I’d also asked for the smallest car and I got a Dodge Challenger which sucked down gas. It took almost a full tank to drive about four hours. This car made it more expensive and much more difficult for me to drive and I had to change my plans because I felt so uncomfortable driving it at night.

Pickup location was hard to find even for an experienced Uber driver. Once we found it, it was a fairly decent experience. The dropoff at the airport at San Luis Obispo was very good. Vehicle was clean. Full gas tank. It was what we wanted!

We got ourselves a full-size sedan to travel up and down the Pacific coast, and the car handled great. The car, a Toyota Camry, also was able to accommodate all of our hefty luggage with no problem. The Camry was stingy on gas, which saved us a lot of money when we had to fill it up upon its return to the Oakland airport. The young lady there was very helpful in getting us on our way to the shuttle, too.

Avis needs to let people know that it's located inside the Hilton. The mailing address is completely misleading, and there is absolutely no signage to help you find the place or to distinguish it from all the other car rental places on O'Farrell Street. Also, the woman behind the pickup counter kept trying to upsell us to an SUV after the sedan was already paid for and reserved. Don't do that, especially when the SUVs are gas hogs and gas is over four bucks a gallon!

The easy pick up and drop off. The car itself was fantastic. Great on gas and comfortable to drive. The price was also awesome.

I got a call 2 days before the rental to remind me. The reservationist said I was to pick the car up on Mission St in SF and I was sure it was at SFO. She said the Mission shop would be closed before I got there. I asked how much to switch to SFO and she gave me a rate of $2800, triple the original quote. Told her to cancel and ended up making other arrangements. After cancelling I looked at my reservation and it WAS a SFO pick up. Had I not gotten that call I would have completed my original reservation. Somebody at Sixt screwed up and cost me a lot of grief and money.

Based on the entire experience both during and after rental, nothing at all to like.

DO NOT TRUST THEIR STAFF OR VEHICLES OR CUSTOMER SERVICE AFTERWARDS!!!!! Upon check-in, I was advised the SUV I booked was not suitable for Tahoe winter (shouldn't all SUVs be winter-ready?!) so forced to pay double original booked total for a different SUV. That vehicle was NOT equipped for Tahoe winter - faulty frozen wiper fluid, bad windshield wipers, engine light on, brake noise on day 1,2! Wasted Hours on multiple days on addressing vehicle faults, and yet was not given even 1 hour extra to return the car on final day. I have spent 8 MONTHS trying to get reimbursed for the upsell charges I paid despite being given a vehicle that could not perform any better than original SUV booked at significantly lower rate. DO NOT RENT HERE because if there are issues you will not find ANY way to contact SIXT to get issues addressed. Every option by phone or website leads to literally no person or error messages on their website. Only when I finally gave them bad review on Yelp, months later, did someone reach out to me and tell me to email them and even then I had to follow up 2 times to get a response. STILL NO RESOLUTION after 8 months. I think they want you to eventually give up so they can keep your $. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER.
