Terrible Rude Staff. Overcharged. Way Overcharged. Budget should be ashamed of this location.

Was charged for damage that existed on the car. I had pictures to prove it. When I went to point out the car had damage, no one was at the counter, or anywhere to be found.

Wrong carI ordered a Mercedes Benz through kayak for a specific price and called ahead in advance to make sure that I would receive the car. The worker told me I would as long as I had a reservation, but upon arrival, I was told to contact budget because there must've been a problem with the reservation, and they told me to contact kayak. All of this was a big hassle, and I just got a different car instead. I'm unsatisfied and won't be using kayak anymore.

Very nice staff at Krakow airport - young employee sorry dont have his name
Chanceres!!!!The company tried to take €600.00 of deposit for a small car, where other companies take up to 1000 PLN for a big car. I had to simply resign from hiring as the team was very rude and unhelpful and get a car at the airport from a different company paying only 500.00 PLN deposit. I have been told that this company does not pay the deposit back mostly to the foreign customers, making up false damage claims. Be aware!!!!
Drop off was easy, car was clean and basically brand new.The cost of the insurance was outrageous. We have rented from Sixt in other countries and the cost of insurance (for full coverage) was more than half as much. Not sure what the deal was but the insurance costs 2.5 times the cost of the car itself!

The site is misleading and does not show all complete data. After arriving at the counter we realized that we were being cheated and we had to pay an extra of over 2 times what we paid. Nothing that was listed anywhere on the site.The site is misleading and does not show all complete data.

when i got there they told me that i need international license in order to take the car, otherwise i could take an EXTRA insurance which costs 5 times the cost of the car per day

Ended up not renting at allI did not like how the employee treated me.. nothing to like...Basically, this company Sixt treats its clients as prays, wants to make money as much as possible .. they refuse to rent me the car bcs I don't have international driver's license.. I have Canadian driver's license that I use anywhere in Europe every time I travel ... They asked me to pay almost € 100 per day just avoid not having DL.. and they also refused to give me the car without insurance even though I told them that I have my own insurance. and of course they asked to pay more for that... I ended up canceling my reservation with them and renting from a company next to them.. the new company gave me no hard time at all.. no international driver's license and no insurance..Thanks Sixt.. no more dealing with you...

Krakow Airport Terminal Sixt StaffCar was great and I got an excellent price from your website for it.Upon picking up my rental from Krakow the Sixt staff proceeded to up sell me additional insurance and explained the insurance I purchased through your website, which was sponsored on the rental confirmation I recieved; Allianz Global Assistance did not mean anything to them. Sixt explained if I did not buy insurance through them I would be personally liable for any damages to my rental and would have to separately/privately file a claim with Allianz. I do not appreciate this not being explained when I booked my car on priceline. I also do not appreciate being sold a $200 insurance only to pickup my car and be sold more insurance. You should train the companies your partner with such as Sixt to have an actual understanding of what you communicate to customers internationally. Terrible overall customer experience.

DeopositThey needed safety deposit with a credit card ( that i didnt take with me because i thought everything is allready paid for ) so without a card they told me they cant rent me a car

The price of the insurance in terminal was 27 euro per day . I didnt take the car because of this

Painless rentalThe Sixt car rental is easy to locate within the airport terminal. the return is straightforward and easy to complete. the car was new and in very good condition. We received the requested car on our booking. The rental associates on pick-up and drop-off were very professional and clearly answered any of our questions. We purchased Insurance prior to arriving in our destination country and this is by far the best option in terms of managing cost.

They book car for me with pick up in Kraków return in Wrocław with millage limit 100km with no information in booking process so I would have to pay another 150 zl on top of that tried charge me another 35 euro for late pick up even if it was within reservation .
My plane was two hours late after arriving at the airport in Balice, it turned out that my reservation was canceled. They offered me a similar car for Double Price. I rented a car from another rental company for normal price. I rent cars very often, this would not be the case in the United States. Shame ALAMO!

We went to pick up our car that we had already paid for the insurance and the Dollar car rental facility could not be found and no one answered the phone. We were stuck in Krakow and had to quickly figure out other travel options. Bad experience and want to get my money back from Kayak.

Some Krakow car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend always be aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Krakow.
Keep in mind that car rental insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your rental. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a no-deductible option to your Krakow car rental.
Krakow has a lot to offer and what better way is there to explore every nook and cranny of the city than with a hire car? Even though public transport works reasonably well in Krakow, if travelers want to venture out into the scenic Polish landscape, opting for a car provides the opportunity to explore everything from the Ecological Park in the west to the historic site of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp, which is about a 1-hour drive away.
There are various car hire services at the Krakow International Airport, and a car will get you into Krakow center in about twenty-five minutes. Companies like Avis, Hertz, and Sixt are located in the car hire center at the terminals. To get to Krakow, follow the DK7, which leads to the DK 79 and Krakow’s city center.
Road conditions in Krakow are not always pristine and streets in the Old Town tend to be narrow. Even though road conditions are sometimes poor, it does not stop some residential drivers from racing through at deadly speeds, so always double-check before entering a roundabout or intersection. It is also not advised to leave valuables in the car, especially during the night.
Winters in Poland can be very cold and bring lots of snow, so making sure the hire car is properly equipped; plus, driving carefully and attentively is pivotal. Due to the cold weather, some streets have cracks in them, but as long as you adapt your speed, a smooth ride is still possible. Even if local drivers keep up their high speed, it is advised for tourists who are visiting to slow down considerably and refrain from driving when the weather and road conditions become too severe.

Especially when visiting during the winter months, opting for a 4-wheel drive car is a good choice. An SUV combines the best of city car and sufficient road grip to navigate through the Polish country roads as well. Make sure to get good insurance coverage and check the car for scratches beforehand.
Always look out for posted speed limit signs and adhere to them. General regulations allow 50 km/h (31 mph) in built-up areas, 80 km/h (49 mph) on country roads, and up to 100 km/h (62 mph) on freeways. In school zones and suburban residential areas, 20 km/h (12 mph) is permitted. During the nighttime, 60 km/h (37 mph) is allowed in built-up areas from 11 pm to 5 am.
Driving and parking in the Old Town is a very difficult undertaking, as many spots are reserved for locals or cannot be accessed at all. Best opt for a hotel with parking included, or choose a parking lot like the Parking Wawel, which costs approximately 60 Polish zloty per day (about $16). This parking garage is open and supervised 24/7.
