    Probably one of top three worst customer service experiences I've ever had to deal with. I was on…read morevacation (I had a rental car from Alamo already while I was on this vacation) when my cousin passed away and I had to fly to Dallas. I booked another car from Alamo for seven hours to attend her funeral. Once I arrived I was informed because I had already had a reservation for a car in another city I could not rent another in Dallas. They made zero exceptions to their "rule". Thanks for nothing Alamo. Luckily due to absolute TOP NOTCH service from their competitor next door I was only a few minutes late to her service. The competition went out of their way to find a car (they didn't technically have any) and let me have it for a few hours.

    Well that didn't last long. From a five star review to a one star review faster than my rental car…read morestalling before getting out of the lot. Which is exactly what happened. We rented a Chevy Malibu and got the car quickly enough, but before we hit the street the car started jerking and then stalled on us with a notice on the dash saying to shift to neutral. My wife restarted the car and we got about halfway around the block before jerking abruptly to a stop as the engine shut down again. We managed to nurse it back around to the return side of the lot where we were told they would do a vehicle swap for us. They were totally casual about it like this happens all the time, but all I could think was we were about to drive across Dallas on the freeways out to Rockwall. If the car had died on the 635 we would have been screwed for sure, or even better yet seriously hurt in a crash as the car shuts down on a freeway. I called their customer service department today to discuss it with them, as I lost sleep last night thinking about how bad it could have been. They said they were going to escalate it to their management team, but I haven't heard back from anyone yet. In the meantime my wife noticed the check engine light has come on in the replacement (you guessed it, Chevy Malibu) and won't go off. So I'm just feeling super uneasy driving this car around and will certainly avoid renting from Alamo in the future as they are clearly not servicing their fleet. My family's safety is worth more than saving a few bucks on a sketchy rental.

    I use National when renting cars for work. Pickup at DFW is always very busy but this day it was…read morefine. It was a Wednesday, mid morning and I did not have to wait long for a shuttle bus to the rental plaza. Elliot was the driver and got us there safely. They had a decent choice of cars, I chose a small jeep. The check out line was slow but they opened up more lanes as the line was building. The return: Kat checked me in when returning the car and was very quick and pleasant. Strange thing is there was an extra key fob in the jeep. I told her about it and she actually thanked me for telling her. The return shuttle process is really bad. So many people on the shuttle yet they keep adding people that are going to the plaza. They should empty the buses a little more or run more to relieve the crowds. Lots of people getting on and off. We had to shuffle around with big bags, reaching around people, some had to get off in order to let others pass. I got my receipt right away via email.

    National is the only company I will use. Just like all the other locations I have dealt with. This…read morelocation is no different. I still received great customer service and even was directed to a better car option, than the one I reserved. Word of advice for this location. Your GPS may direct you to the main location, for the initial rental when you're looking to return your car. Instead of turning into E 38th street. Continue down N service rd and turn down , S airfield rd and turn onto passport ave. Follow the signs then to your respective rental company.

    So this is a hard 1 to review. The price was great but the Checkin & return lines are horrendous!…read more By far the longest line for Checkin. I even tried downloading the app but it didn't help. We waited 30min to an hour to get to a customer service person. When we finally get there, it moved fast since I did my stuff online. Definitely need more workers or something to move the line. The cars were nice. We got an upgrade but the ticket said it was in spot 39 and it was not. I just clicked until I heard my car make a sound. We were in 38z. No one was around to ask for help so luckily it wasn't hard. We had no issues with our car though the last day before our return, our car started saying take in soon for oil change?? Ummm. That should have been taken care of before. What if I had more days? No idea. As for the return, thank goodness we were early. Sixt returns held up the whole ramp and even made it hard for all the other car rental folks. It was jammed back! Usually, you would drive up to the front for your return. It was backed all the way to the end. We literally again waited 30min +to do a return. Wow!!! They even said this was the bigger location. Has potential but needs a lot of work!!

    I recently rented with SIXT, and while there were clear positives, I wanted to provide some…read moreconstructive feedback that I believe could significantly enhance the customer experience. Upon arrival, I waited in line for over 45 minutes to pick up my vehicle. While the actual transaction process was efficient once I reached the counter, the wait time itself was unexpectedly long--especially after a full day of travel. Like many customers, I had already navigated multiple legs of a trip, and at that point, the goal is simple: get in the car and go. One thing that stood out to me was that while SIXT had a line nearly around the corner--clearly indicating strong business and demand--nearby competitors appeared to have minimal wait times, with only a few customers being assisted at once. This speaks volumes about the success and popularity of your brand, which is a huge positive. However, it also highlights an opportunity. During high-demand periods, ensuring proper staffing levels can make a critical difference in the customer experience. Time is incredibly valuable, and in my case, the delay shortened the time I had planned to spend with my son. We had hoped to share a meal together, but instead, I had to rush to get him to work. While individual circumstances may not always be visible to staff, the collective experience matters. Customers arriving after long travel days are often tired, eager, and sometimes emotionally carrying more than meets the eye. Creating a smoother, more efficient transition from arrival to vehicle pickup would not only improve satisfaction but also strengthen customer loyalty. SIXT is clearly doing many things right--your demand reflects that. With a few operational adjustments around staffing during peak times, the experience could match the strength of your brand. Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback. (I don't need to add a photo of the car because it is lovely and they just received a fleet of cars so I am sure turning them over at the rate they are I get it and the wonderful woman helping me at the garage helped me immediately) this is a positive review and their cars are

There is no staff visible outside to direct the customer, it's just based on vibes - bad ones. Third World level service. Zero stars.

    The wait time was long and it was hot in the facility…read more The woman who helped fell very short on professionalism. I asked a question about the deposit, wasn't my ideal answer but it was answered. Just didn't understand why I couldn't use a different card to hold the deposit. Then she proceeded to ask me for my flight details and wouldn't accept the screenshot that I provided. Then asked for me to pull it up again and I grabbed my phone to which she said she wasn't going to help me and walked away. She accused me of "snatching" my phone away returning with a manager. I mentioned the upgrade and had to mention it twice. Seemed as if the was not the case as it was still in the same category and I smells badly like urine. I'm also beside myself that she then told me I could use the other card when I returned the car..... why do I even need to do that if I am returning the car? Not sure if there was an issue with others prior, but there was no reason to be short with someone who was simply not understanding what she was saying. Simply a very poor experience.
