SIXT "Bait & Switch" Attempt on an ADVANCE PAID Rental…read more A SIXT Review - "MINUS STARS". Consider this review in your decision to rent any vehicle from SIXT, either directly or through any 3rd parties. I will NOT again. I have experienced their "bait and switch" tactics for the 3rd and last time: "Your RESERVED and PAID FOR vehicle is no longer available. BUT we can offer you this alternative upgrade - at a higher price." Finally, I emphatically replied "NO"; and pursued an alternate rental car company. SIXT owes me reimbursement for my alternate 3rd party vehicle rental: USD$1,297.19 I had reserved a vehicle for three days for pickup at SIXT - FRA; pickup May 27, 2026. The reservation was made through EXPEDIA; I received both EXPEDIA and SIXT confirmation numbers: Expedia itinerary: 73440683727690; SIXT Rental # 9733690594. BECOMING a client of BOTH Expedia and SIXT. Concerned that I might be delayed from the expected pickup time, I attempted to update my pickup time through Expedia; the link would not work. I tried through SIXT also, via the internet (could not due to Expedia origination); by phone (went immediately to message - in German); and via text (I found a number and got a text through. Apparently, ignored.) Upon my arrival the afternoon of May 27, 2026 at the SIXT - FRA counter: "Your vehicle is no longer available. But we can offer a higher-level vehicle at additional cost." MY RESERVED/PAID FOR IN ADVANCE vehicle rental is no longer available!!!! If the RESERVED/PAID FOR IN ADVANCE vehicle had sat for the PAID FOR three days, SIXT would have already reaped economic benefit: PAID FOR REVENUES, with "no miles/no wear and tear" But SIXT apparently has a different business model: "Accept PAID FOR rentals. Release the RESERVED/PAID FOR rental vehicles to other lessees (DOUBLE YOUR REVENUES for the same vehicle already under PAID rental). Then charge the original rental client additional fees.) THAT is "Bait and Switch" If you like that behavior, rent from SIXT. I am still owed USD$1,297.19 for alternate third-party rental costs incurred. I will be re-posting this review until SIXT completes my reimbursement. As for the SIXT perspective: this is an Expedia problem. I also had a SIXT Rental #; became a SIXT client (for the last time). Good luck to you as a SIXT client. (Victim?) Watch out for their explanation to you: "Yes, we will re-rent your RESERVED/PAID FOR vehicle. But don't worry, SIXT will have a more expensive vehicle for you."

Never rent from this company. I pre-paid for my car 3 weeks ago. I confirmed the rental as asked by…read morethe email they sent me, confirming my arrival date and time. Which I did and the car (automatic, gas car). When I arrived in this foreign country, they claimed they only had an electric car which I did not want and had not reserved and they refused to give me any other car because they said they did not have a single car in their entire garage (they lied- as obviously, there were cars in their garage downstairs). They also claimed I was late- I showed them the email from SIXT saying the time was confirmed, and that I was not late. The woman said there was no manager on site. She only can reach him by phone. I cannot confirm this, but it sounds Very suspicious that the manager could not come out to speak to me. Normally, when a car rental company does not have the car you have reserved in a certain class they would find a car for you regardless of the class of car that's available. They absolutely did not care about the situation they put me in. They canceled my own reservation, returned the money and I was stuck staying at the Frankfurt airport without a car. I will never ever ever ever rent from Sixt again. Not only did they not fulfill their agreed upon contract, they lied to me about not having any other cars in the garage and they really left me in the cold. They did absolutely nothing to fulfill their end of the contract even after I had prepaid close to 400€ dollars three weeks prior. Unbelievable, how they run their business. Luckily, I went to next door to Avis who had a car available to me for a reasonable price.

For the high price I am paying, the car is very mediocre.

Overall, this experience has been absolutely disappointing.

Extremely horrible service. Here's our story…read more We rented a car from here with good customer service as we picked the car up. However, just hours after we rented the car it died at a stop light and wouldn't start again. We called roadside assistance, but the car started again before roadside assistance arrived so we drove it to our destination. The car proceeded to not start again after we were ready to leave so we called roadside assistance again. The technician arrived, ran some tests, and told us that the car was safe to drive home, but recommended we exchange cars with Enterprise the next day. On the way home, only a few kilometers from our house, the car caught on fire. The fire fighters came and told us that it had been an electrical fire. On the police report, the policeman told me that it was not my fault. Enterprise ended up replacing our rental car that night after about eight hours total of hassle. When I returned the car after our rental period was over, Enterprise charged us an extra 250€ for calling roadside assistance! If they had given us a good car to begin with we would never have had to call roadside assistance. Every time we have rented from this location they have found something trivial to ding us for more money. And their customer service called me 10 minutes after I left to ask how their service was. I started to tell them how bad it was when the woman on the phone stopped me, "Oh, you were just here," and then she hung up on me. Totally ridiculous! Do NOT rent from this location. ALSO, THE ONLY POSITIVE REVIEWS ARE FROM THIS LOCATION'S EMPLOYEES.
