Ho una rabbia verso questa compagnia incredibile, non sono lavoratori ma solo truffatori e spero che qualcuno prenda seri provvedimenti perché dovrebbero CHIUDERE.
VI MERITATE SOLO DENUNCE.
non noleggiate con questa compagnia, MAI, ci ha causato solo danni economici
Fraud. I was not delivered the car I ordred. I complained and was promised compensation. Compensation was never setteled. I have Full e-mail dokumentation for the fraud case. Never use Sixt. Scammers.
Ci siamo sempre trovati bene con questa compagnia di noleggio, soprattutto fuori dall'Italia. Le macchine sono perfette, pulite e la garanzia presa sulla carta, rispetto a molti altri, è bassissima.
Ovviamente fanno i loro interessi ma devo dire non hanno politiche aggressive e non nascondono nel contratto clausole "maledette" come la compagnia che ha l'ORO nel suo nome.

Prenotato telefonicamente,operatore mi ha assicurato che la carta di debito delle poste veniva accettata,arrivati in aeroporto a Bergamo ci rechiamo per pagamento e ritiro auto il prezzo duplicato rispetto alla prenotazione per copertura eventuali danni!!! Procediamo per il pagamento e la ragazza ci dice che la carta di debito delle Poste non va bene!!!! Panico,vacanza rovinata!!! per fortuna abbiamo trovato altra compagnia che con la metà del prezzo ci ha dato macchina compreso copertura eventuali danni!!! Ladri e incompetenti!!!
Dopo aver noleggiato l auto online, mi presento in aeroporto per ritirare l auto. In breve, mi fanno cambiare l assicurazione che a parere loro nn copriva i danni che molto probabilmente mi avrebbero addebitato, mi aggiungono un secondo guidatore, 12%di fee e voila pago il doppio del voucher. La prima volta che mi succede in tanti anni!!!
ATTENZIONE TRUFFATORI!!!!!!!
State lontano da questo noleggiatore.!!!!!!
Ti danno le chiavi dell'auto senza prendere visione dei danni già esistenti della vettura, poi alla consegna ti ritengono responsabile daddebitandoteli
I reserved and pre paid one of the most expensive categories for a whole month and when trying to extend the reservation for one more day got downgraded to one of the cheapest categories without any warning.
I wrote to customer service and they tell me there's nothing they can do, so basicaly they charge you for one thing and give you something worse. I guess they don't even have the cars they show in their web.
Lontani da questi ladri...specialmente all' aereoporto di Elmas..alla consegna molto gentili .poi dopo il noleggio ti preparano la sorpesina con gli addebiti..state lontani..troppo furbi
Vildeste svindel. Var i Italien i 2019 og fik nogle færdselsbøder, som jeg hurtigt betalte. Sixt opkræver så et administrationsgebyr på 36 euro pr. bøde, udover færdselsbøden der skal betales. Jeg får betalt nogle af disse, men vælger så at spærre mit kort fordi de bliver ved med at trække for de her bøder.
Nu, 4 år senere, bliver jeg kontaktet af et inkasso firma ved navn Themys and Dyke, som opkræver mig 200 eur. pr bøde! 5 gange så meget som det oprindelige beløb. Jeg kan se på diverse fora, at der er mange der er ude for det samme lige nu og bliver truet med retsforfølgelse og alt mulig juridisk efterspil.
Jeg har ikke modtaget en eneste påmindelse eller rykker fra Sixt. Værste svindel. Aldrig brug dem.
Hired a vehicle from Bergamo Aiport through Sixt. Positive feedback vehicle given was what was advertised. Had a blow out north part of lake como on the way to the hotel.
No spare tyre. Hole in side of tyre so the tyre inflator can was no use.
Spent nearly 2 hours trying to call the emergency number. Could not get hold of anyone. Rang the emergency accident number no answer. Vehicle was left on the side of the road.
Broke down on the friday 1.5hrs away from our hotel.
I did not get a call back till the Tuesday.
Had to stay in an emergency hotel which cost £180 euros for the night
Spent over £100 on phone calls trying to get hold of them.
Terrible customer service. Still not had a reply back to why no one answered the calls and why it took over 3 days to call me back.
Met some lovely locals who helped us get back on the road the next day.
Anyone hiring a car from SIXT italy. Check there breakdown policy. Absolutely shocking what is the point of having a breakdown and emergency number if no one answers and takes 3 days to call back.
Avoid by all means. Rented twice. First time had the same issue as many others, a guy at the desk said in very rude manner that I came late by 30 min and the car is not available anymore, I can only take a premium one for 4x price. The other time had no time for refuelling, they said "no problem" and charged me 5.2EUR per litre saying that it is an "average price"
Ladri ladri ladri dopo aver prenotato una mercedes classe e mi fanno trovare una bmw x3 con richiesta di aumento tariffa da 400€ a750€ per due giorni ,auto riconsegnata con pieno addebito 113€ (truffa )per carburante su fattura . Spero di poterli denunciare
Luca Tirri all'aeroporto di Genova mi noleggia una bmw serie 1. Prendo due multe, una per "errata canalizzazione del traffico" ed una per assenza del libretto di circolazione. Pago la prima e porto la seconda a Luca Tirri all'aeroporto di Genova. Mi rassicura che l'avrebbe pagata ed avrebbe portato i documenti alla polizia municipale di genova. Dopo circa 3 mesi ricevo a casa la notifica della mancata presentazione dei documenti necessari alla polizia. 80 euro. Provo a chiamarlo, senza successo. Non mi risponde, sparisce. Dopo 5 giorni sono costretto a pagare la multa. Persona molto scadente. Sconsigliato. Fatti risalenti a febbraio 2022. gli ho promesso che gli avrei lasciato una recensione più negativa possibile. Promessa mantenuta. per 80 euro hai perso cliente e fatto una figura di m***a.
We rented a Mini Cabriolet for 10 days from Sixt in Pisa Airport. We had booked in advance by the Sixt website and the car was ready for us when we arrived without no further payments etc. The car had a couple of scrathes from earlier, which was noted in the rental agreament, but the Sixt employes urged us to take some pictures of the car, before we left. When we handed the car back there was no problems at all.
It was the first time we rented a car and after reading all the bad reviews of almost all car rental companies, I got a little worried, but it turned out to be without reasen with our experience with Sixt. Thanks
Abbiamo noleggiato un auto prenotandola online tutte le informazioni che ci avevano dato telefonicamente arrivati all aereoporto di Mykonos sono state ribaltate da una operatrice scortese e ignorante adatta a pulire solo i bagni e non idonea a stare in un noleggio auto visto e considerato che mentre parlavo accesamente si e alzata e andata via a oggi 30 10 ci devono ancora restituire la cauzione la macchina l abbiamo riconsegnata il 18 10 fine contratto se si trattengono le cauzioni in tutto il mondo per piu giorni fanno affari altro che noleggio. DISASTRO COMPLETO
