After arriving home from Italy found a charge on my credit card. After many emails I found out SixT made a mistake in typing my name when I picked up the car, and they used the excuse that my brother picked up the car so I had to pay for a different driver. They refused to admit anything and ignored the facts. What scammers!
Al momento che mi sono recata presso l’autonoleggio, in via Avenida da Boavista, sono stata accolta da un ragazzo gentile e molto disponibile che mi ha anche dato dei consigli.
La macchina l’ho noleggiata per 2 giorni, però purtroppo per problemi personali l’ho dovuta riconsegnare un giorno prima.
Ho chiamato ripetutamente al loro numero fisso per comunicargli che avrei dovuto riportar la macchina un giorno prima e per chieder l’orario previsto ma senza aver nessun riscontro, quindi mi sono recata nell’autonoleggio e sono arrivata alle 11:00 poiché nella strada, dove stanno facendo i lavori c’era tantissimo traffico quasi 45 minuti di coda, e riconsegnandola a quell’ora mi hanno comunicato che non avrebbero potuto far nulla sul pagamento poiché l’orario previsto per la consegna era alle 10:00. Quindi sono stata costretta a pagare i due giorni interi nonostante la consegna della macchina fatta il giorno primo.
Servizio scadente e approssimativo!
depuis quelques années je loue des véhicules a Catane, après avoir fait des expériences pas tres heureuses dans d'autres loueur de Catane aéroport, je me suis tourné vers Sixt, qui est mon loueur en france.
plusieurs fois j'ai loué chez six Catane sans aucun soucis, bien au contraire.
je prends le contrat toutes option, et la franchise total.
le cout est important, mais la tranquillité et le service sont présents
malheureusement, cette fois, la. jeune dame au comptoir, n'a pas arrêté de réaliser des surcout de toutes sortes.
de changer six fois de voiture, en appliquant des réductions et des augmentations sans justifications.
son débit de parole en italien comme en anglais était absolument incompréhensible.
après plusieurs demandes de parler plus doucement sans succès, et après avoir payé plus du double de la location de base, avec des cautions supplémentaires, nous avons enfin pris la route après plus d'une heure au comptoir!!!!
de plus, au retour une inspection du véhicule de fond en comble, alors qu'au départ absolument aucune inspection de celui ci, pour s'entendre dire qu'il me rendait la caution de 300 euros, pourquoi? je ne sais pas.
alors que l'on a payé 1400 euros environ pour la location toutes assurances incluses.
je ne retournerai pas chez six Catane
il y a europcar avec qui j'avais réalisé une bonne location il y a quelques temps.
je vais a Catane entre deux et quatre fois par an.
merci a vous

Selve billejen forløb fint (selvom vi fik en anden bil end vi havde booket). 9 måneder senere modtager jeg en inkassoopkrævning på en bøde, hvor gebyrerne er 8 gange højere end selve bødens beløb. Jeg kontaktede straks Sixt som ville følge op på sagen. Efter 2 uger uden svar skrev jeg til dem igen og fik at vide, at de ikke kunne finde oplysninger om sagen, fordi udlejningen var for længe siden.
Pessimi.. per i loro errori fanno pagare i clienti , servizio post noleggio inesistente.. non rispondono mai a telefono e messaggi !
Noleggiato furgone ha Mestre con riconsegna la sera stessa a segrate alle 20.00 come da contratto e da accordi con agenzia Mestre..
Alle 20.00 ero sul posto, nessuno aveva avvertito del metodo di riconsegna .. serviva un codice ..
Dopo 1 ora di telefonate e messaggi sono tornato a casa e ritornato il giorno dopo ha consegnare ( 45 km andare .. 45 km tornare ) oltre al fatto di una seconda macchina per riportarmi a casa .. risultato ...... mi hanno fatto pagare i km in più e anche 1 giorno in più.. per un loro errore non avendo fornito le indicazioni .. !!
E l'unico.con qui sono riuscito a parlare telefonicamente... pure sgarbato... mai più.. !!
Ho noleggiato un auto il 30 giugno. A copenhagen mi hanno prelevato i soldi che dovevano restare bloccati sulla carta e solo oggi 20 luglio me li hanno restituiti.
Pessimo servizio customer care.
mi hanno costretto a prendere una vettura da 350 euro al posto di quella noleggiata on line da 200 perchè non ne avevano disponibili, inoltre non sono stati chiari sull'assicurazione e mi hanno chiesto un risarcimento di 230 euro per una gomma bucata lo stesso giorno dell'affitto( per un chiodo nella gomma che probabilmente era già li prima della consegna) ,avevo cmq pagato per l'assicurazione base (come è possibile che le gomme non siano comprese?) ci hanno messo 6 ore per cambiare la vettura con la gomma bucata facendomi perdere mezza giornata di viaggio! telefonicamente mi avevano assicurato che l'intervento sarebbe stato gratuito invece mi hanno chiesto 230 euro per la riparazione della gomma! comportamento incredibile! non affitterò mai più nulla con questa compagnia e sconsiglierò a tutte le persone che conosco i loro servizi! peccato non ci siano 0 stelle!
Sixt charge me 1400€ when I was no more responsible of the car
The worst company and the worst agency in the world. At the end of the renting, we left the car in their parking as told by them. During the check out procedure, with an employee of Sixt sitting in the driving place, a truck hit the parked car. They charged me the damage!!! 1400€ ! Unbelievable!
Unfair behaviour of the employees of the agency who always told me that Sixt would never charge me the damage and then the bill arrived after months.
Very unfair !
Strongly suggest to avoid Sixt and Lisbon Centre agency!
had pre-ordered from home with collection in Olbia Sardinia. Super easy and fast both collection and delivery. I received good service and the bill was as pre-ordered :)
pessimo servizio; noleggio di una utilitaria all'aeroporto di Lamezia Terme, mi consegnano un'auto piena di bolli; la uso un giorno e, al rientro, trovano una crepa sul parabrezza. Io non ho avuto urti o incidenti, ma mi danno la responsabilità del danno: totale 800€!! meno male che avevo fatto un'assicurazione complementare con Easyjet. Mai più noleggio con loro!!
Car was damaged, bodywork scratched and missing pieces. Unclean inside. They charged me extras which I didn't ask for. It nearly cost me double what I initially paid even though I brought the car back 3 days early. Avoid this crap company
Run away from SIXT. The worst rental company on the planet. I lost 6 thousand reais without using the service.
I rented a car through Sixt, I took my wife's physical license, my digital license and my PID. They did not accept change of ownership or refund the amount.
I ended up having to do another rental at HERTZ. They informed that they do not practice this type of attitude and that they refund the customer when they do not provide the service.
I've never seen this in my life, a real injustice to charge 6 thousand reais for 5 nights that I didn't get to use and not refund for cancellation.
In addition to profiting from my payment for the 5 nights, they will profit by renting the car that I have not used to other customers.
I ended up renting from Hertz cheaper and a much better car.
Always look for large reliable companies like Hertz.
Run away from SIXT. This company Sixt is so bad character that it turns off Instagram comments. There must be so many unhappy customers that they made this brilliant decision to ignore customers.
There is only one trend: to have more detractors and lawsuits in the procon every day.
Get away from SIXT!!! The worst rental company on the planet.
I did book their ride service, and chose a car with a baby seat. The baby seat was key for me, because we were supposed to go to the airport with my 6mo son. I did call Sixth a couple of times to make sure it was included. Not only the driver was 45 min late, but he also turned out without baby seat. The result is that we had to replan our trip to the airport at the last moment.
Ho preso l'auto a Beauvais, mi hanno dato un auto differente di pari livello perché quella prenotata non era disponibile.
Ho restituito l'auto senza che venisse fatto alcun controllo, dopo 3 giorni mi è arrivata una mail con scritto che era tutto a posto.
Abbiamo noleggiato un’auto,già pagata su Internet. All’arrivo in aeroporto ci hanno fatto pagare una cifra superiore. Il rimborso dovuto, non è arrivato sul conto e loro considerano la questione chiusa!!!
PESSIMO SERVIZIO
Ho noleggiato un'auto con Sixt presso l'aeroporto MCO di Orlando, FL, negli USA ad aprile 2023.
Al desk ho espressamente chiesto se - oltre ai pedaggi dovuti sulle highways - avrei pagato altri importi o commissioni, e mi è stato chiaramente risposto che non ci sarebbe stato alcun supplemento o altri addebiti.
Quando mi è arrivata la fattura, mi sono stati addebitati $ 5 IN PIU' per ogni passaggio ai pedaggi, come "Administration Fee Toll", cosa ovviamente non dovuta.
Ho scritto alla assistenza clienti italiana ed americana in merito; in poche parole mi è stato risposto dapprima che mi sarebbe stato riconosciuto un rimborso del 30%, e poi Sixt si è RIMANGIATA anche questo risarcimento parziale.
Purtroppo è molto triste prendere atto che una compagnia come Sixt non tutela minimamente il cliente, fornisce informazioni ERRATE, non fa fronte un errore (così voglio credere) di un suo dipendente, e soprattutto MENTE spudoratamente e cambia gli accordi presi unilateralmente.
Personalmente, SCONSIGLIO VIVAMENTE Sixt, perchè la "assistenza clienti" è inesistente ed iniefficiente.
Sixt Italy - AVOID or risk spending hours trying to recover back your money
Used Sixt many times in various countries and have been happy with their service. Until rented a car with Sixt Italy (Malpensa Airport)! What a nightmare: firstly they create a fake car damage (a scratch!) and charged my card 4 months after the rental. No email, telephone, invoice etc. Then, to add insult to the injury, they charged me for a motorway toll (EUR 3 + Admin fee of EUR 30) with no proof. I had to spend hours and hours trying to find out what was going on… The UK Customer Service could not help, same with the Benelux (Regional) one… it seems Sixt Italy is a separate fiefdom… AVOID by all means.
We rented a car from Olbia, service was professional and relaxed. V. happy with car we got (the one we booked was not available), encountered no problems with the car during our stay.
