The first car a Yaris hybrid: in three successive days the battery lost power to start on the first two days. On the third day the brake did not disengage and he pre-collusion device fail (according to a rental company empoyee. I lost four days of salmon fishing in Ireland. I had to drive 2 hours to Knock airport west to exchange for a new car. When I returned the latter I was charged for 5 areas of damage on it which had already been delineated the the second rental agreement I had ben given. What a disaster ! Not worth my time and money. I want my money back. Sincerely, Dr John L Connolly, DDS

Your Є2K deposit is unnecessary and a way to force people to buy the expensive insurance. Also, you took Є2,200 instead of actually Є2K. I also extended the day to return the car on and it was literally half the price of the previous 6 days. Disgusting.

Pick up was extremely slow. Other companies served 2 customers to Sixt one. The problem seemed to be regarding insurance provided by credit card companies. I used a Chase issued card and was told that I must contact Chase and have them email a letter to confirm that they would provide coverage. I had never experienced anything like this and had to spend time on vacation dealing with it from Another country. They should make it clear at the time of reservations that this is necessary!

We had booked a 7 seater for a certain price and when we arrived they added on 150% in cost on all kinds of fees. We also booked a 7 seater and they only had a 5 seater which made the week very uncomfortable with bags on laps and they didn't offer any help.

Returning the car was great - the rep was very helpful. And the car worked well. However, when picking up the car, we were hit with an unexpected 10 euro per day charge since I was providing my own insurance. At no point was this charged identified or explained during my booking on Kayak. This doubled the price of the rental. The rep when we picked up the car said the charge was mandatory. I felt swindled since this was a total surprise.
