I read the reviews and yes they tried to upswell the vehicle and yes they added the pre paid fuel without proper and fair discussion, which in hindsight was dishonest of the Sixt rep.
She originally printed out a contract without the fuel and then printed out another with the pre paid fuel and didn’t give me any choice; in hindsight I should have challenged her.
But the vehicle was in good condition, i received a free vehicle upgrade, I haven’t been charged for any scratches (as yet), check out / in was prompt, the staff were courteous and I used 3/4 of the fuel in a week, so all in all I was happy with the service.
Ps - we bought our excess insurance via a third party in advance as per money saving expert.
Staff very professional and quick clearance at checkout. I rented a car for a week, a Renault Clio Petrol. It was brand new and it worked fantastically. I totally recommend Sixt.
I hired a car here twice for two weeks. Every time: quick check-in, very friendly personel, quick car return, no weird hassles with damage or something. I don't understand the 3.1 rating here, very happy with them :) And it's obvious with ANY car company to not buy anything extra at the counter, use the full fuel on start and return thing, buy your own insurance, check for dents yourself at the start, make photos of it, compare it with their damage thingy, that's basic car hire knowledge, ofcourse they have to run a business model out of that, but they don't force you or anything.
Great staff, extremely helpfull and educated.
