Terrible customer servicePros:They say they credited me after not having car I ordered available - have not verified that yet.Cons:They did not have my car “because my flight was delayed” got a much smalller car and they offered no refund until I complained on social media. Upon return tried to ding me for a problem with tire. The person on desk day I arrived was rude and tried to upsell meReviewed 25 Jul 2018

Pros:The guys at the agency were nice.Cons:The check in was a bit long I booked a peugeot 308 automatic and I got a mini The guy at the agency presented it as an upgrade as my car wasn't available. I didn't know yet what I was getting into so I agreed. If I would have known how uncomfortable this car was I would have said no!!! I booked the 308 to have a spacious and comfortable car to do our tour of Scotland. The mini didn't match our expectations in comfort at all!!!! We had to have a break every hour because of the pain on our backs and legs!!!Reviewed 30 Aug 2017

Pros:Courteous staff and excellent clean vehiclesCons:Fairly long wait at pick up as staff dealt with walk in customers which somewhat defeated the purpose of pre bookingReviewed 21 Dec 2018

I did not get a car in the end!Pros:Nothing I'm afraidCons:Sixt asked me in advance to bring driving license, ID and credit card which I did. On arrival they asked me to provide a DVLA code and/or NI number which I didn't have! Sixt staff in Edinburgh were not helpful at all, they were patronising and even rude. After long discussion they refused to provide the already paid car. Fortunately I got one from Avis without any problems. A few days later I got the full refund. However, I will complain and claim compensation for the hassle.Reviewed 18 Jul 2016

The first address if you search for this location in Bing is wrong!Cons:I had difficulty finding both the pickup location in St. Pancras, London and the dropoff location in Edinburgh. I had to walk around and ask in several buildings before I found the St. Pancras office. Then, when I used Bing to find the address of the Sixt office in Edinburgh, the first address than came up was incorrect. It was many miles from the correct location. The folks at another car rental office were good enough to direct me to the correct address.Reviewed 20 Jul 2018

Car given away due to delayed flightPros:Nothing, will never use SIXT again.Cons:We arrived late due to flight delay (only 2 hrs late). We were informed that our car was given away and smaller car is available but for 2x price. No one attempted to contact us about our car being given away despite my cell phone and email being provided. SIXT staff member D. Taylor was extremely unhelpful and suggested we go with another rental company - so we chose Enterprise. They were fantastic, friendly and helpful. We will only be renting from them now and never from SIXT. SIXT needs to work on training their employees in empathy and basic customer service.Reviewed 23 Oct 2017

Taken Advantage OfCons:I paid in advance for the rental insurance through Kayak . When we arrived to pick-up the car, we were told that they would not honor the insurance that Kayak had sold and that I would need to call and get a refund. We had to buy Sixt's very expensive insurance which was the same rate as the car rental itself! When we were given a detailed receipt there were so many extra charges, including the afore-mentioned insurance, an extra driver fee of £100 and a drop-off fee. All in all, the cost was 3 x the expected amount. Very bad experience as it felt like we were taken advantage of.Reviewed 24 May 2017
