    Invoice Paid due to natural causes of a chip that turned into a crack while driving their vehicle.

    I have used SIXT rentals many times with a great experience. I rented the car in Arizona and when we were driving on the freeway a chip rock hit the windshield and chipped it. As we kept driving it began to crack. When we dropped off the vehicle, I specifically mentioned this to the technician who checked us out. All he said was "I see that". We had a flight to catch, and I figured I would connect with them when I got home. I received an email from them and a bill for almost $1200. I reached out to SIXT to connect with them on this issue, the same day. I do not feel that this is reasonable. No call back and I even emailed them with my information. I ended up paying the balance, because I was concerned I would go to collections over this. I am a responsible person and I was very disappointed that a conversation was never had but the invoice was sent. Also - Look at the breakdown of the invoice. Admin fee? $200. I will no longer use SIXT for my rentals.

    Example of preconditions

    Buyer Beware. I recently rented a vehicle from SIXT, first time ever, and it was a disaster. Firstly, the vehicle and almost 40,000 miles with many dents and scratches when I picked it up. I didn't want to be held responsible for the previous damage, I took several photos before leaving their parking leaving the lot. I only put on 79 miles over several days definitely had no accidents and yet was billed $600 in a claim for damages. I sent in my photos to no avail. Watch out !

    This is apparently $490 worth of damage. STAY AWAY FROM SIXT

    AVOID SIXT LIKE THE PLAGUE. THEY WILL CHARGE YOU FOR DAMAGE YOU DID NOT CAUSE. My experience started out quite positive, the rental pickup process was fast and easy, and the car was great. The return process was equally quick and easy, and after inspection, I was told everything was good and was sent the final invoice. Three days later, Sixt sent me a claim of damages for a tiny clear coat scratch on the edge of the door. I did not cause this scratch and never saw it while the vehicle was in my possession. Also, the scratch was so minor that it could be cleaned up with a microfiber cloth and polishing compound, by hand, as part of the wash. I know this because I did exactly this all the time as a former auto body shop employee. Sixt is trying to claim this "damage" will cost $490 to repair. This is conveniently $10 under most insurance deductibles. I suspect they are trying to milk their customers for as much as they can while avoiding insurance being involved, because anyone with any experience in the field will recognize the absurdity of their claims. After leaving a one star review on Google, I received a comment from Theresa, the branch manager, telling me to forward my case information to service@sixt.com. I did this, and two weeks later, I have received no response, even after follow up emails. Meanwhile, the claims management department is not budging, and has addressed none of my requests for clarification on how they arrived at their number and what "repairs" it would pay for, as their claim cited no actual estimate for repairs, no billable parts or labor, only a number for the damage, a document fee, and a "depreciation fee." I suspect this practice of damage fraud is baked into their business practices. It seems like an awfully cheap way to ensure they never have repeat customers. This company is a scam factory hiding behind flashy marketing and nice cars. STAY AWAY

    Called ahead to customer service to see if I could rent with just a debit card (no credit card) prior to making the booking. Was told several times it would be fine so long as I brought a passport of proof of address. Made the booking, paid for it, and went to pick it up only to be told that I couldn't pick it up without a credit card. Then the people at the counter told me they'd cancel the booking for me and refund me within 1-2 business days since I wouldn't be allowed to pick up the car. I never received a refund, apparently because they never cancelled it! Now I'm being charged almost $300 for a rental I never even laid eyes on. Called in today to ask for my refund again and was told that no managers were available to approve it, and to try again on Monday. Amazing customer service 10/10. Hope to one day see that $300 you guys swindled from me again!

    Great experience Michael was very friendly and gave me a great car. No wait lines, no issues, easy out, simple return. I would return.

    We used this rental car service for our Arizona trip. Hubby has been using their services whenever he comes here for work. It was convenient and fast to get our BMW X5 in the Sixt parking lot. Workers were friendly and helpful enough. The wide range of luxury vehicles to choose from was impressive! We would definitely use this rental car service again!

There was a long line at Fox when my flight landed, but the entire line was gone 20 minutes later. I was impressed with the speed. Until I went downstairs to the Fox Rent A Car booth in the garage where you pick up your rental vehicle and realized they didn't actually have cars ready for all those people. I found tons of customers just standing around, restless and annoyed. Basically, you just have to wait for them to call your name when your car is ready. Obviously they overbooked and couldn't accommodate all of the reservations that were made. Wow... I have no words for how ridiculous that is. This company accepting reservations while not having cars available then having people wait an hour for their rental cars is not okay. Once my name was finally called, after waiting in the hundred degree heat for about 45 minutes, the Fox employee gave me the keys to my rental car and told me the wrong make, model, and location of the vehicle in the garage. I mean, I eventually found it using the key fob, but I'm baffled at how terrible their service was altogether. The saving grace to my experience was the quick and easy return process, but that was too little too late. I feel confident in giving a one-star rating based on my recent experience.

It was the best decision we could have made. ​I literally booked a reservation with Alamo on my phone five minutes before walking up to their desk at Phoenix Sky Harbor. Not only did they seamlessly honor the ultra-last-minute booking, but the agent, Ahmed and his manager (didn't get his name),, went completely above and beyond. Recognizing our tight schedule and frustration with the previous company, Ahmed took incredible care of us and gave us a fantastic vehicle to get us on the road immediately. ​Ahmed's outstanding hospitality and quick thinking turned a stressful travel day completely around. The efficiency, cleanliness, and elite customer service at this location are second to none. I will never, ever rent from another company again. Alamo has earned a customer for life! ​Pros: Lightning-fast service, incredible staff (ask for Ahmed!), and total reliability.

Unfortunately, I could not pick up the car ASAP since being a gold member and had to see customer service, but thank god there was no wait. They told us to pick a car from the presidential circle. We ended up with a KIA Niro which was not too bad. It is a cute SUV white. Our car needed an oil change however, but we did get a full tank of gas. The car had scratches too so worried about the AI scanner for the car. They do have the UYE AI scan, we had terrible luck in North Carolina. So my wife took a 360 video of the car before and after. When we returned the car, they did the scan but no text messages saying about damage. Then, the following day they send you a damage report which there was none. So I am happy they have someone look at the AI scan's now, I believe. Last time I got a text message last minute saying I did damage, but now there is no worries. I guess Hertz learned there lesson. I would rent from them again. However, I would not be surprised if there were bad experience due to the scanner.

There was no long line (in fact, I was attended to immediately), it was just a HORRIBLE comedy of issues, one after another. This was my first experience with Budget, and will absolutely be my last. Here's a summary: I reserved an electric vehicle ("Ford Mach E or similar") through Budget using Costco's travel website. The rental fee for the entire 6 days was roughly $377, a phenomenal deal. I told the Budget employee that I had a reservation through Costco, and he couldn't find it. He asked for my confirmation number from my Costco confirmation e-mail, and found my reservation that way. He rung me up (took roughly 10 minutes), and said the total cost would be right around $1,700. I showed him the confirmation e-mail showing the $377 total, and he said that the "prices must have reset since it's now after midnight". He was unable to adjust the price because he needed a "manager number", and there were no managers on duty. He sought assistance from a coworker, who was able to help him (another 15 minutes), and got the price adjusted, but said that the car was no longer available. He looked for cars, and found a Genesis GV60, and said he could give it to me for another $10 / day, and I excitedly agreed. He went through the same ten-minute ordeal, and again, reported that the car was no longer available. This cycle went on over and over for over an hour, and I added that at that point I don't care if it's an electric car, I just want something to drive. He said he'd put me in a Mercedes, and would give it to me for the same $10 / day premium over my original price. He wrote parking space #140 on my pickup ticket, told me the keys were in the car, and to just go to spot 140 to pick it up, and show the QR code he'd texted me on my way out. So, off I went to the garage, found space 140, and in it was a Genesis, not the Mercedes on my contract. So, I went for help from the in-garage attendant, and he repeated the same "here's a car", "I'll update the contract", "Oops, that car's not available" a few more times. He eventually was able to transfer a "car over from the Avis side", and I went to the parking space to get it and it was a Ford Mach E, just like I'd reserved. Budget corporate responded to my "how did we so" survey, and refunded one day's rental fee, and apologized, thus the extra star.

So it was 10:30 at night and we were stranded with no car at the airport after traveling all day and prepaying for our car! So I went to Avis and enterprise and inquired about a car and they wanted $375-450!! for a regular car. I was appalled. Then my wife texted me and let me know that the guy from Payless car rentals saw the kids crying and came over and asked if he could help so I went over and talked to Payless car rental and they rented me an SUV for $211 for the same period of time the other ones wanted so much more for! I cannot tell you how relieved we were to find Payless car rental. I didn't think that Payless car rental would necessarily mean that we paid less, but it certainly did! The car was great as well. We will be renting from Payless anytime we come down there again.

We arrived in line at 10:45am and did not get into our vehicle until 1:38pm. There was another party ahead of us whom had been waiting until 10am and still did not get their vehicle when we departed. Only 1 employee was working the desk (her initials are LL) and she was excessively slow. She carried on conversations with guests for an average of 45-minutes each. While I can appreciate the sentiment and her being friendly, she needs to read the room and realize the situation that she is holding up the line. Within the first hour, every other rental car company had resolved there line and had no guests waiting... except PAYLESS! Our line was now 15+ people long and was not making ANY progress. Another guest whom had lost his patience asked her why it was taking so long and she flipped her lid on him and called a manager to keep him at bay, even though his complaint and his reasoning was entirely valid. He did not raise his voice or do anything rude; it was her who overreacted. Mercifully, another employee arrived at 1pm. He cleared about 5 customers almost immediately before LL had moved on from 1 customer. But even then, he said there was a delay in his queue because vehicles were not being washed fast enough. This was a complete disaster to have wasted almost 3 full hours waiting to pick-up a rental car which was pre-paid, pre-organized and apparently in-stock and on the lot. I have had issues in the past with rental car companies when picking up from isolated locations, which has led me to always book at an airport because their stock is typically higher and efficiency is better. This was NOT the case for Payless. There were at least 10 parties of guests whom had to wait 2+ hours to pickup a pre-paid vehicle! Now that I am writing this review, I can see that the 2/5 stars rating and this type of customer service (or lack thereof) is common practice for this company. AVOID AVOID AVOID
