    This review is not about Sixt's rental services, but about one of their employees, Marc Randolph, and the conduct Sixt appears willing to tolerate. On 10/2/2023 in Gardena, Marc Randolph made an improper left turn in front of oncoming traffic when he did not have the right of way, resulting in a serious collision. My 11‑year‑old son died from his injuries. Our 9‑year‑old daughter, who was also in the car, had to be extricated from the vehicle and sustained two broken bones in her left wrist. Marc has since been charged and found guilty in connection with this incident. Let's also not forget that Marc and his mother committed fraud by collecting donations on an unauthorized Go Fund Me account that was created by Marc's mother, in which she named Marc the beneficiary. Exploiting my son and his tragedy that was caused by Marc and then lied about what the funds would be used for and kept the money donated for themselves. I still never received an answer on where the money was used. What is especially alarming is that, despite this history of reckless driving and the devastating consequences of his actions, Sixt continues to employ him and allow him to drive their vehicles as a representative of their company. In addition, Sixt has refused to cooperate with child support services by verifying Marc's employment status, which appears to be necessary for him to be properly served with child support papers. This behavior reflects, in my view, a troubling lack of accountability and responsibility on the part of both the employee and the company.

    Summary: Rented two cars from Sixt LAX in one week. Was charged $710 for minor rim scratches on the first car. Filed a claim through my credit card's rental damage coverage, received confirmation that the claim was approved and a check was sent to Sixt on 3/17, and notified Sixt twice by email with documentation. They sent me to collections on 3/23 -- less than two weeks after the invoice and six days after the payment was confirmed sent. I am requesting that Sixt immediately recall this account from collections and confirm resolution in writing. First off, everyone I interacted with at Sixt was lovely. It was a great first experience in LA. The problem came when we turned the car in. I rented two cars from this location in the same week. One was with a group of friends and one was with my girlfriend. I had rental car damage coverage through my credit card, so I asked for liability only. When I asked for this for the first car, I later realized we were charged $45ish for the liability insurance for 5 days and then another $60 for extended roadside assistance, which we didn't ask for. I couldn't have been more clear - "liability only". When we picked up the second car, it was easily understood - and it was only $40 for another 3 days driving up the coast to San Francisco. When I turned in one car, they showed me rim scratches that I hadn't noticed. See the pictures. 1-2 mm wide scratches on the very side of the rim. I hadn't thought to be so detailed with my pictures, trusting that the rental car company that was charging me hundreds per day (and hundreds more overall than other rental companies) would have better customer care. The rep incorrectly told me that I was covered and didn't owe anything for the damage. I received an email this week telling me these scratches were a charge of $710. My card company will likely cover this but it's a headache to go through all the paperwork. So, I paid $700 for 5 days to rent the car, and then they get another $710 for rim scratches - see the pictures for yourself. The second car I picked up, I took detailed pictures, having learned my lesson. When I turned in this car, I received pictures of damage that they asked me to explain. If I hadn't taken 25 detailed pictures of the entire car beforehand, I would have had no recourse. There was a spot on the hood they called "graffiti" that I knew was sap and had taken a picture of. By the way - I had uploaded all of these pictures to their mobile app when I picked the car up, by scanning the QR code they gave me. They had these pictures. Another damage they asked me to explain was a very thin 1 inch scratch on the rim. So, they rent me a car to drive 500 miles up the coast and they expect literally nothing to happen to the car? No rocks on the road? What exactly is the $100-200/day for? I chose this company because they had a reputation to not have hidden fees or aggressive damage claims. They were more than twice as much as other options at LAX, and I thought it would be worth it to not have to deal with the extra headaches - they exact things I'm describing in this review. Based on my experience - TWO times in one week - go somewhere else. I'm definitely never using Sixt again. UPDATE: They sent me to collections after I had confirmed the credit card company paid the charge I filled out and submitted my credit card company's claim within a few hours of receiving the Sixt invoice for the car damage. I received the Sixt damage invoice on 3/10 at 1:50pm I received confirmation about my card benefits request on 3/10 at 4:55pm I emailed Sixt by replying to their invoice email (claimsmanagement-usa@sixt.com) on 3/10 at 7:01pm letting them know I had submitted the claim and I asked for an extension of the 3/24/26 "due date" listed on their invoice email to accomodate the 1-2 week wait time listed by my credit card company. I received confirmation that my credit card company had approved the request and had sent a check to Sixt on 3/17 at 3:12pm. I emailed the same Sixt email on 3/17 at 5:20pm letting them know the claim had been approved with the attached PDF letter I'd received from my card company. I received a call on 3/27 at 12:22pm from an automated line tell me that I had been sent to collections on 3/23 - one day before the due date they listed. When I asked to speak to a representative, they let me know that the call center closes at 1pm central time daily. I've filed a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. I've also filed a Better Business Bureau complaint. If this appears on my credit report, I will dispute it with all three bureaus. A collector pursuing a debt that has already been paid may constitute a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

    AFTER you wait in line in the lobby and then after a long wait with an agent, then you have to wait in this long line to get your car!

    I am only giving SIXT one star because I am able to drive it one way. Otherwise do NOT rent from here! Even though I had a car reserved... it did me zero good! After you have a long wait in the lobby, you then have a long wait with the agent at the desk only to find another long line to get your car! And not even the car I reserved! Don't be in a hurry to get to a business meeting like I am because you will be late! Very upset with SIXT Car Rental!

    The overall experience with Sixt Rent-a-Car was fine. The staff were polite and professional, and the car itself was in good condition. However, when they say they're giving you an "upgrade," it's not really true -- it's the same class of car, just presented as if it were an upgrade to make you feel happy. Don't get too excited about that. They also promise a shuttle to the airport every 15-20 minutes, but that's not accurate. We've been waiting for more than 40 minutes, and there's still no shuttle. It's late, and the service is not as reliable as they claim.

Their branch in Miami airport is a flaming dumpster fire (have called customer service 5x no resolution ) - Miami gave us a broken car with a faulty engine - and the enterprise at LAX isn't any better. I lost a custom dog collar in the Range Rover we rented. Immediately called them and filled a form online. Got a message hours later that they didn't find it- a month later got a call from a guy saying he found a dog collar in the Range Rover as he'd accidentally dropped his credit card between the seat . He was kind enough to contact me and send it to me via mail (what was left of it) What I got back was basically a few stones and my dog's tag. Some certified a hole ripped up the collar, made a piece of jewelry for themselves with the clasp and then dropped the pieces they didn't want back in the car. I hope you go to hell. So, not only does enterprise not do their job when it comes to lost and found- either the employees themselves or the people renting cars are kleptomaniacs and steal valuables. Humanity is in a sad place if someone doesn't have money to buy a necklace and steals a chain made for a dog. Enterprise is a disgusting organization and anyone who works for them is inept. A bunch of criminals work here. Truly the worst of humanity and low IQ. Oh and their lost and found doesn't have a phone number. I can't even imagine the things they've stolen from customers / had stolen by the people that rent their cars due to their inability to do their job. This corporation is a subsection of the worst of humanity. * Also in response to Nellie- what a liar. You guys aren't going to do ANYTHING. No one has reached out to me I keep having to chase to get help or a response. LIARS. "Be prepared to share" - what a joke

I waited about 10 minutes. Once at the location, the line moved fairly quickly to get to the counter. I must have arrived at an off-peak time, the line was short. The cars are located in a large warehouse, so they are out of the sun and are not baking hot. They have you fill out a damage form to show any existing issues with the vehicle and then hand it to the attendant on the way out of the lot. I made sure to be very detailed in my walk through, just to be safe. Returning to the lot is simple, just pull in on the same road the shuttle came in on. The lot attendant will take the keys and finish up the transaction. The shuttle back to the airport picks you up from a canopy by that driveway. Overall, it went well. Just make sure to give a little extra time for transportation to and from the airport.
