From someone who rarely posts reviews online: this was the worst experience ever. We rented the car in Lisbon and were about to leave when I noticed that the plastic cargo cover for the hatch wasn't fitting right and told the attendant. He said 'no problem' and pushed it into place. We drove the car for 3 days and used the trunk one time. No damage of any kind. We also had full coverage. When we dropped off the car in Faro, they said we have full coverage and everything is fine and we don't have to sign anything. No damage. Two weeks after the trip, we get a bill for a broken cargo cover. When I asked for proof of 'damage', they stop responding. It was also interesting that somehow the full coverage insurance, which would cover the entire car in case of a horrible accident that destroys the car including the car cover, somehow doesn't apply to this phantom made-up 'damage'.
I JUST NOTICED THAT THIS IS ALMOST EXACTLY WHAT ANOTHER REVIEWER WROTE IN MAY. CLEARLY THIS IS A FRADULENT PRACTICE FOR THIS COMPANY.
I have been a loyal Sixt customer since 2013 but after this incident, I will never use them again, even if they are the most convenient or cheapest. I already cancelled an upcoming reservation and will share my disappointment in their dishonesty far and wide. They don't deserve your business and have lost mine forever. read more
