3.2 Mediocre
Oct 2019
Cons:
The car was filthy - seats stained, had half eaten food between seats, dirty plastic cups and used tissues int the car. It is clear the van had been used for commercial purposes, it was not fit to be used for a family vacation trip. I had to wait an hour for the car from when I arrived which made it clear it wasn’t ready and they tried to clean it a last minute, maybe even put the back chairs back in as the middle row wasn’t fitted well and the seats rocked a bit. Also the power outlet didn’t work so I couldn’t charge my phone for using as a GPS. It was very disappointing.4.8 Okay
Sep 2019
Pros:
We had a brand new car; obviously it was in good condition so that was nice.Cons:
We waited over an hour after our scheduled reservation time to get the car. We had carefully planned our itinerary and the late departure (waiting for the vehicle to be taken for fuel) messed things up badly. We ended up in rush hour traffic, which delayed our arrival in Tuscany and cost us extra $$4.0 Okay
Sep 2019
Pros:
Car was spacious as neededCons:
Car was dirty at pick up Drop off was not assisted by anybody since they open at 8:00am and I had to check in before then: there were Hertz people at the booth, they did not take care of drop off. Insurance was super pricy: almost 400 euros full coverage. They did not recommend Allianz one I did9.6 Excellent

Sep 2019
Pros:
Staff was great - a little pushy on buying insurance - but typical - so no problem at all. The problem was the key drop off. Despite an email received, I spent 45 minutes trying to find where to put keys - no box anywhere near cars or rental counters. Finally tried to hide them on rental desk9.6 Excellent
Jul 2018
Pros:
Newer car- clean with good space. Efficient at counter when picking up and dropping off. Zero issues as always2.0 Mediocre
Jul 2018
Cons:
We booked a car to be returned to Piazzale Roma in Venice Italy. With printed confirmation from them. However, nobody informed us that there is actually NO SIXT office at all at that location!! It was a Saturday, nobody picked up the phone when we called multiple times trying to figure out where to go. We were given an exact address that did not exist! After 3 hours of going back and forth in the area in torching heat and with 2 young children, one police officer on the road suggested we return the car at the airport. We did. The airport is far from there. We had to take the cab back to Piazzale Roma. We tried to complain at the airport counter, but nobody cared" I am just working here, I am not in charge". I said, please give me a receipt that I actually returned the car. They did not want to; they said it will come in my e-mail in a few days !!??!! It did come in the mail a few days later, but really, I had no proof that that I actually returned the car ok and in time!9.6 Excellent
Jul 2018
Pros:
In and out in under 15 minutesCons:
The car had Bluetooth for phone calls, but not music10.0 Excellent
Jul 2018
Pros:
Fast service. Car model Fiat 500 was as expected from my reservation choice as well as being practically brand new. A bit smaller car than the Ford Focus I saw on the website but on the other hand very economical for gas consumption. Would consider renting from Sixt via Kayak again.10.0 Excellent

Oct 2019
Pros:
Actually, the order was served by Hertz, known as #1 in car rental worldwide. And Hertz so far never disappointed me - I rented from Hertz about 20 times to date.8.4 Excellent
Jul 2019
Cons:
As usual the insurance questions and answers are different at the counter than they are on the phone in the US. I am very tired of this dilemma which seems to be the norm no matter what country you are renting in. As the “go between” in booking it would be fabulous if you had online references about5.2 Okay

Aug 2017
Pros:
Good car, in good conditon. Rental agency in convenient location.Cons:
The rental agency could not be reached by phone for inquires.6.0 Good
May 2017
Pros:
AFter the long, long walk to the rental counter, it was refreshing to find out the vehicles themselves were in the same location -- just a few steps away.Cons:
The first car we were offered was missing its rear wiper. (Not just the rubber blade, but the whole thing -- arm and all.) They switched us to a different vehicle, and it was great -- but the first vehicle should have been taken out-of-service, repaired, and then returned to the fleet.5.2 Okay
May 2017
Pros:
Free built in GPS provided.Cons:
Overcharged me on the final bill by almost $100. Desk agent said the "Optional Fuel Purchase" was mandatory but the charge would be removed if I brought the vehicle back with a full tank. Of course the final bill included the "optional fuel purchase" even though I returned the car with a full tank. Also the diesel car required several fillings of the additive "AD BLUE" or it would not start. Total out-of-pocket extra of more than 20 Euros. Reflection of poor vehicle maintenance/servicing on the part of Dollar/Hertz.9.6 Excellent

Aug 2017
Pros:
The vehicle itself was clean and ran well. It had a full tank of gas when we picked it up. The vehicle had a built in navigation system as well as bluetooth capability, making navigation substantially easier.Cons:
Coordinating the vehicle pickup was a bit confusing, but not unmanageable. The hours of operation were pretty limiting and the fee for an airport drop-off outside of those hours cost nearly as much as the rental itself, despite being only a few minute drive away. There was no opportunity to verify or indicate any damages on the vehicle prior to pickup and when we asked the representative, he simply told us that he already marked everything and not to concern ourselves with it. I also found it odd that the hold amount was about $800, but if you utilized their exorbitant insurance, rather than your own it was only $200; not a huge deal, but could cause issues for somebody on a budget.5.6 Okay

Sep 2018
Pros:
The car mechanically worked great. Service was terrible and I was overcharged and still working to get that corrected.Cons:
I had to extend my rental and after dozens of attempted calls to the local office I was still unsuccessful. I had to drive the local office pay to park and then stand in line for over an hour in a very busy train station in Rome.3.6 Mediocre

Pros:

Totally unacceptable that a car rental in a city like Venice that receives millions of tourists yearly , closes their offices , for three hours at midday, on saturday afternoons and sundays. I arrived to Venice at 1230 and went to the office to pick up my car , the office was closed until 1430. Waited for the office to open , and i was told they were out of cars until 17 .

When to book a car hire in Venice
Car rental insurance in Venice
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) & Theft Protection Waiver
Some Venice 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 Venice.
Deductible
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 Venice car rental.
Top tips for renting a car in Venice
- Who hasn’t dreamed of the winding little alleys in Venice, the magic the city emanates and the old buildings towering over the river lanes? But Venice is more than the Rialto Bridge and the St. Mark’s Square, so, although driving on the island itself is not allowed, it still makes sense to rent a car as there is more to explore than the island. Places worth driving to include the Parco Nationale delle Dolomiti Bellunesi, which is 1 hour and 40 minutes away by car and definitely worth seeing, and San Donà di Piave, another scenic city in the district of Venice, about 40 minutes away by car.
- Rent a car upon your arrival at Venice Airport Marco Polo to conveniently and flexibly reach the parking lots on the outskirts of the city or many other destinations. The car hire desks are located on the 3rd level of the multi-level parking lot P1. Signs will indicate the way and cars will also need to be returned there when leaving Venice again.
- Driving inside the city of Venice is not allowed, but on the mainland a car will bring you to all your dream destinations. The Italian driving style is rather aggressive, so driving defensively is important. Police officers also tend to concentrate on tourists, so adhering to speed limits (even if locals don’t) is crucial. Most roads in Italy are well-maintained but, when venturing deeper into the countryside, dirt tracks can have potholes and bumps -- so make sure the insurance covers all kinds of damages and adapt speed.
- Rush hour can clog up the streets around Venice so it is better to avoid it. Usually the peak traffic times are between 8-10 am and 4-7 pm. During these times the water buses, known as vaporettos, are also filled up with people and getting a seat is unlikely. Therefore, if possible, try to explore all the destinations outside this timeframe and leave early in the morning or later, after a lengthy breakfast at the hotel.
