Dublin City Centre CAR HIRE

Quick and nice service. Good prepared and good explained. Easy to find.

Car prices are getting more expensive

But the staff service is good

I rented a car for a long weekend in March from the Dublin city centre branch of Sixt. I was given a practically new car (Renault Clio registered in 2021) that was a higher category than what I originally booked. I was given the car with a full tank (as expected) and spotless inside. As I chose to return the car on a Sunday after-hours, I was given the option to return it the next (Monday) morning before opening hours for free, if desired.

I initially reserved the car online with my debit card, however upon collection I had to use my credit card to pay the excess and fuel deposit, unless I paid the daily extra rate for a zero excess cover. This is a fairly standard procedure for renting a car, from my experience. The only downside from my experience is that the deposit remained blocked from my credit card for a few weeks after the booking, which was much later than the 10 working days I was told to expect. Despite this, I was impressed by the prompt and helpful customer service, whom answered my queries over email.

Overall, I had a great experience with Sixt and will definitely be returning to the company in the future. In fact, I have booked another car trip with Sixt for the next month.

We arrived about 15 minutes before our designated pick up time.

The queue was short and moved quite swiftly. The clerk was very cordial and explained everything clearly and professionally.

As we made the rental reservation before reserving our accommodation, and realizing there is a Sixt office closer to our accommodation, we requested to be able to return the car at the closer office.

Not only was our request to return the car at the more convenient office was accepted, we were also allowed to return the car after the office had closed and without additional costs.

The car was exactly what we requested. It was clean and ran smoothly. I would have preferred the clutch release to be set a bit lower, but that's the only "fault" I could find.

We will definitely use Sixt services when we visit Dublin again.

We had a great experience with this car rental. Easy pickup and drop off, plus our little BMW was so fun to drive on the narrow country roads.

No issues at all with the car or rental process. Thanks much!
