" The car was great. But we paid full insurance cover online and then when got to SIXT Stratford London we were charged several hundred Euro again. It would be good to have the amount we paid to Auto Europe refunded as we believed that was all the cover that was needed to be paid. We used Auto Europe last year in Bordeaux and it was much more reasonably priced with no double charge of insurance. We'd like to book with Auto Europe again next week in Ireland but that depends if the refund for the extra cover from this last hire can be refunded. We had been telling friends how great we thought Auto Europe had been for us in France until this extra insurance charge happened. "

" The handover process was quick but when I got to the car it was parked in a dark spot in the car park.

When I retuned the car, it was It was to a very well lot space. The return clerk had a tablet with a graphic display of the dents and marks and found two that he said did not match up with the long list., I my view these matched what I had ascertained from the list. I have already emailed Sixt that I saw the whole return process as a scam to defraud insurers and customers and asking why a vehicle with well over 20,000 miles on the clock was rented in such a condition when presumably they had already charged previous customers for repairs not carried out. I also complained that the onboard sat nav had been deactivated. It will be interesting to see how they respond. "

" My experience with SixT was all fine. HOWEVER I was hoping to be able to tell you how disappointed I was with AutoEurope. I have used you for many years now BUT this time was bad. 1) The booking (after 3 tries) did not allow the one way rental to show. 2)After a phone call it was suggested we talk to the desk when we arrive - the person on the phone was not prepared to help. 3) This was after numerous emails to try and rectify the matter beforehand. 4)Arriving at the desk the insurance was not included as requested at the time (I always do full insurance with no access). I had to pay £78 plus vat more to be insured. If I had known that the insurance was not booked by autoeurope as I expected I might not have used you on this occasion. 5) I also had to pay the one-way cost of £50(ish) which at the time of booking with autoeurope was said to be included already. So in the end it cost me about double the cost to rent the car. And I had to make the decision on the spot (being surprised) - that was not enjoyable. Can you please look into the matter for me. Thanks. "
" When I inspected the car (although I took fulle insurance) I saw that the front tyre was half flat. As I was to return the car very early morning, I could not trust that the tyre would be right. I was happy when SixT gave me another car straight away. The desk person was very helpful and understanding of the situation of autoeurope letting me down a bit. "

" Renting cars via AutoEurope is a sure and failsafe way to have good rental conditions. "
" 1) The staff when picking up the car was excellent. 2) I had made a reservation for a compact SVU (my preferred car), and was allocated a theoretically higher category car (Skoda Octavia), much longer and not as high as compact SUV. I took it because cars in Edinburgh in those dates are scarce. But, even if the car was higher category, it was not my preferred choice. 3) The car had a superficial scratch (5 to 10 cm on front bumper, driver part) done while I was driving it (it already had 9 registered when I was given the car; no big deal). The SIXT personnel overstated the damage and its potential financial consequences. When I told them that I had contracted EXCESS GUARANTEE with AutoEurope, they unkindly suggested to directly contract with SIXT in the future, so to avoid 'paperwork hassle'. That was not that type of advice I wanted at that moment. BTW: Eight days after the end of the rental, and after having received the final invoice with pending payment= 0, I have not yet received any news on the damage and how to proceed with it. "

" Although the damage on the car was well defined and noted on the electronic car hire policy provided by SIXT. When returning the car, the SIXT employee at drop-off made an effort to record damage already noted on the hire form claiming that it appeared to be new damage.

" It was a very expensive, frustrating and unfair experience. I would like a full refund of my Sixt car rental costs. "
" I made a booking for a 10am rental car pickup when it wasn't at that stage entirely clear when I was arriving in Bristol. I arrived in the end at about 4pm but was advised that because I hadn't picked up my car within one hour of 10am the car had been 'given away' and I needed to rent a new car at - guess what - a higher price from the one I'd originally booked. I reluctantly agreed, only for the next hurdle: Sixt needed to contact the DVLA for details about my UK licence. But the DVLA phone lines were closed, so we tried three times online, but each attempt failed. The Sixt employee told me then that he couldn't rent me the car because they couldn't verify my licence details with the DVLA. To his credit, he did go to Europcar for me to check that they had a car, which they did (they don't insist on licence checks), so I ended up renting a whole new car from Europcar and am still owed money by Sixt. My husband has also had increasing issues renting from Sixt and we are very unlikely to rent from them again. Cowboys and rip-off merchants. "

" Three times we've hired a car with SIXT and three times after the correct return of the car we've had additional charges appear on our bank account. The first time we were charged about £170 for additional insurance for which we got a refund after making a complaint. The second time we were charged for late return of the car when it was returned on time (we were able to prove this because we kept the return parking ticket) and again we received a refund after complaining. And for this last car hire we were charged an extra £23.99 for nothing..we complaining and got no reply and eventually our bank refunded the money. It would seem that SIXT have a deliberate policy of applying additional charges to customer accounts after the car has been returned and I imagine that most customers either don't notice or don't complain. This situation is quite outrageous and we won't ever hire a car from this company again. I would be grateful if you could look in this situation it is not acceptable. "

" Prior to our trip I had some contact with Christina who is based in Portugal and was very helpful and clear. Unfortunately Auto experience did not provide a good service on the day. 1) the address for the Car pick up on the AE documents was Waverley Train Station, 1 Princes St. This is not where the Sixt rental is located. We spent 45 mins in the pouring rain walking around the station and surrounding area trying to find the car rental depot. We tried 1 Princes St - but its not there so we tried the train station and asked a station supervisor. He directed us to the Car Rental signs in the station. We followed them out of the main concourse and into an underground car park some distance away. Sadly, tt turned out at was the car rental depot of 4 other car hire companies but not Sixt. We went back to the station and called Auto Europe and asked for help and directions. The man on the phone put us through to a Sixt automatic number but there was no option to obtain the address. At this stage we were soaking wet and running late for our next destination. Finally we managed to do google search on Sixt and found an address away from the station in another direction. 2) when we got to Sixt, Eva kinky explained that Auto Europe had not forwarded my email address or telephone number to Sixt so Sixt had not been able to send through the details about their location etc. 3) Sixt then told us that due to the lack of info from Auto Europe they did not have the car that we had booked available to hire. This was very worrying 4.) The manager at Sixt took the initiative and gave us a free upgrade to a car that he did have available (nice chap with an Irish accent if you wish to identify and thank him). 5) By this stage the booking information for my husband as an additional driver had timed out and he had had to go back to our hotel to check our and collect our two teenagers so we had to pause our car rental so that he could return with his driving licence. 6)we went back to the hotel and checked out and returned to the Sixt office to go through all the paperwork for the second time 7.) when we finally got the car, which we realise was not Sixt fault we were pleased with the car we received and the return arrangements. The staff at Sixt were all helpful and pleasant to deal with. Please can you let us know what happened with this booking? At present, I think we would not book with Auto Europe again but would with Sixt. "

Then we were offered, with progressive lack of enthusiasm, a VW Polo (we agreed an error - mix up with another customer), then some sort of Kia hot hatch. You'll love it, she said. I wont, I said, which is why I ordered Skoda Octavia in the first place. Her efforts to tell me that they were very similar were risible. She 'explained' that the contract said 'or similar'. I pointed to a Skoda Octavia out the front and said, you mean like that? Yes, she said, but thats just come in and not cleaned. And anyway, its an automatic (no problem) and a hybrid (no problem). I said, that'll do fine, just clean the interior. Once she found the yard chap and a few exchanges he eventually set about the clean. Including a lengthy exterior clean. We were now about an hour in. Next up. Did you know that your 'contract' means you have £1200 excess? No, because the figure was not given. We can indemnify you for that for an extra £45 a day. No. Or our lowest protection £22 a day. Times 8 days. = £176 extra on a £350 'deal'. This is robbery. And mis-direction at the initial booking stage. We felt mugged. Finally, the car arrives, wet and gleaming. No hand over. Never driven a hybrid before worked it out. Not that that mattered - it had 0% charge and remained on that for the next 8 days so it was all pretty pointless, though interesting just the same. All in all, a shambles. We got there in the end and by pure chance (me glancing out the window) to a resolution that was eventually quite satisfactory. It hats be said the return collection handling was, after an unclear start about who, what , where was first class. She even gave us a lift into Inv airport and was very cheerful and helpful re buses etc. "

" Sixt blamed using you for not knowing my contract details. "
" Apparently they should have emailed me to arrange transport but apparently has not because I had booked through a third party. This meant I and my daughter were left walking on the verge of a main road trying to find the centre. The wait to collect the car was around an hour. Apparently my booking was later in the afternoon. This may had been my fault but it meant my booking had to be 3,hours longer at an additional £80 which is more that the daily rate that I was paying. The whole approach fell it like trying to upsell to me. The car was tatty with trim etc missing from it. All in all, not the greatest service and I feel that I was caught on the additional cost. "

" Both Sixt and myself found your hire terms and conditions, especially the Insurance aspect, totally confusing and self-contradictory. I don't think either of us are any the wiser now as to whether I was actually insured by you! You admonish your customers to check with Sixt if you wished to reduce the deductible/excess amount from £1,000 to £0. You must know that to do so is impossible - they use totally different underwriters from yourselves so they have no power to modify any policy you put in place. One has to buy a completely different policy from them, the cost of which amounts to roughly the same as what you charged for the hire! Also your contract does not break out the insurance portion of the total hire cost never mind break it down into third party, fire and theft charges, comprehensive cover charges and wheels, interiors and underside insurance. Plus, agreeing to pay UPTO £3,000 excess to your client in the event of a complete write-off is ludicrous, given a brand new vehicle with only 920 miles on the clock?! Such 'coverage' is pretty much worthless, so why bother offering it in the first place? You also levy a mysterious "airport surcharge" of 20%. If you are referring to the Air Passenger Duty levy, that is inapplicable at Inverness Airport since it enjoys an exemption from that tax. I believe you should therefore immediately refund that part of your charge to me. In view of the above, I think it highly unlikely that I would ever sue you again for my car hire. "

" Auto Europe does not make the SIXT depot at Terminal 5 available on their web site and only allows collection/drop off at the main location. The main SIXT depot does not supply onward transport to Terminal 5 so if your flight is from T5 you have to go to T4 with your bags and take the train to T5, all a bit tedious. Fortunately the counter agent at the main depot changed my booking to allow drop off at the T5 depot. The opposite is true for arrivals at T5 as there is no transport to the main depot so you have to take the train to one of the other terminals to catch the shuttle bus to the main depot. Auto Europe must be losing business as the only way around this issue is to book direct with SIXT. "

" I have good experience with Auto Europe, but I definitely end the relationship with Sixt. I am waiting for Sixt to cancel the unfaithful charge to my credit card. However, I still don't receive the money back after I have wasted time for long argument which seems useless. I have been using services from Sixt but I never have peace in my mind. I give chances to Sixt again and again, but this time is too much to endure. "
" Staff was not faithful. Sixt intentionally added premium service/coverage fee (298 GBP) without informing us and forced us to pay this premium. I just found out that I was charged extra when I received the receipt via e-mail four days after I returned the car. At the Sixt Heathrow Terminal 2 Branch, I said clearly many times that I didn't want any extra service so I naturally didn't think that Sixt staff would dare to add anything into the contract document without confirming me. Sixt charged this fee without my consent and when I tried to argue that this was not right, Sixt told me that it was my fault for not checking rental contract carefully. I totally didn't expect that the contract would contain the extra fee that I repeatedly confirm with the staff that I didn't want extra service and I was totally satisfied with the coverage of the package I bought from the Auto Europe website prior to pick up the car at Sixt. The refusal of the extra charge e-mail I have sent to Sixt keeps never ending since Sixt has no respect to customer's honor that I have never asked for the extra service/coverage and Sixt has tried so hard to keep the charge. One more thing, you need to be extremely careful to check every detail of existing scratch and to compare against the damage list that are listed in the document when you pickup the car since no staff will explain and go through with you to ensure that you and he have the same agreement/understanding on the existing damages. On the contrary, when you return the car, Sixt staff will check the car in every detail, inch by inch, and always find the new scratch that is not caused by you, but he will force you to sign the acceptance of the scratch. He will not listen to anything that you try to explain. It is useless and completely waste of time. Until finally you give up the argument and need to sign the paper because otherwise you will miss the flight if you still be there. If anyone would like to use Sixt service, please be extremely careful in everything or you will not have peace of mind. "

" The counter staff did not have my vehicle ready (I was about an hour early) and so offered me a lesser vehicle at the same rate, or an upgrade. I know it was a sales tactic but I was exhausted after a long flight so I went ahead and took the upgrade. Then during my rental, I experienced a flat tire. I found out the hard way that there was no spare, no jack, and no sealant in the trunk. I was in a precarious position in a layby on a narrow road and it took Sixt THREE HOURS to even find someone to come to the site, plus the additional time of vehicle recovery and tire replacement. The B&B I stayed at that night said it was not the first time they had customers with such issues with Sixt. Then I was never provided a final invoice, only charged days after rental, and have had to request it so that I can file a claim for the excess cover. "

If there is one thing Autoeurope can improve, that is to include T5 as one of the choices of pick-up locations in Heathrow. "
" The location of car pick-up was very good because we arrived Heathrow T5 on BA, therefore we simply walked to SIXT. However, there were 2 problems. SIXT at T5 only opens at 6am; so we had to wait for nearly an hour because we arrived on a very early flight. Secondly, We could not select T5 as pick-up location in Autoeurope website (only T1, T2, T3 & T4 available, meaning taking the shuttle to SIXT large off-site pick-up location), so the car we booked was not available. Luckily, SIXT staff was very helpful and managed to give me a car of the same group. All-in-all, this SIXT experience was good. And this was my third time renting a car from SIXT at Heathrow T5. "

" The voucher was for a Sixt branch at a different terminal, otherwise good value and no complaints. I'd use them again. "
" Signage to the Sixt desk at LHR Terminal 5 was poor - it's in the Sofitel building and a longer-than-you'd-like trek from arrivals. There was only one person (Mr khan) at the desk and although he coped well, the wait wasn't welcome after 15 hours travelling. It turned out that my voucher was not for their branch (down to AutoRentals) but he sorted it out with a minimum of fuss, judged my mood accurately and resisted the temptation to try selling me an upgrade and put me in a nice new Renault Clio. Full marks to him for intelligent customer service. The pickup point is another tiresome walk but once there it was done without fuss. Be prepared to take pictures and or a video (in a poorly lit underground car park) to confirm the condition of your car because, unlike most, they don't offer you a marked up sheet to record any existing damage. I had AutoRentals insurance to cover any excess in the event of damage during my rental, but this way of working is not professional and causes stress if you haven't. The car was excellent, barring the lack of an owner's manual and drop off was simple and quick. The two marks off are down to the accessibility of this branch and the lack of paperwork to record the condition of the vehicle. "

" My credit card was charged by Auto Europe for £325. 77. The rental agreement with Sixt was £313. 98. I sent 2 e-mails to Auto Europe trying to clarify why was I charged more and attached screenshots of both booking confirmation and rental receipt as a proof. I didn't get a reply so far. "
" I'm very dissatisfied with Sixt both with pick up and drop off. The pick up was booked for 8:30 am. When I arrived to collect the car it turned out it was still being cleaned and didn't get the car till 9:00! Had to wait for it for ages. The drop off was even worse. It was scheduled for 8:30 am. I arrived on time, but had to wait in a queue, as there were customers ahead and only 1 staff in the office. It was taking ages. Once I finally was being served it was way past 8:30am and was running late for work. I was asked for the keys and nothing else. I wasn't given any receipt to sign. Because I was running late for work (Sixt's fault), I didn't ask for any receipt myself and shoot off to the bus stop. I got an invoice few days later charging me £100 extra. They charged this, because they written in their documents that I dropped off the car at 9:30 instead of 8:30 and charged for 1 extra rental day, which is a complete lie, because by 9:20 I was already at work! I have many ways to proof that, so if those crooks won't kindly return my £100 I'll take this case to the court "

" Once again Auto Europe has fed me fundamentally misleading transfer information. After booking the car with SIXT, Auto Europe told me that my flight information was missing, even though I had entered it during the booking. I telephoned you and gave the information. I was arriving with BA at terminal 5. You told me that I would have to get the shuttle to terminal 4, then the Sixt bus to the car hire facility. This is disgracefully wrong. First – it's NOT a shuttle, it's a public bus. Second – THERE IS A SIXT FACILITY IN THE SOFITEL BESIDE TERMINAL 5. Waiting for the public bus, then for the SIXT bus, then driving all the way back to West of the airport from T4, back to where I started at T5, cost me an hour. I was driving to Devon, and did not need this delay. On my previous trip, on the 27th June to Luton, Auto Europe told me that the bus number A will stop at stand D. This is WRONG, and it nearly cost me a lot of time. I also posted this complaint, but you never replied. I shall not use your company again. "

The following morning, i had to be up and out and the same tyre was completely flat!

" See above re problems with booking and information given to me by email "
" I was looking for a company within terminal 5 as I had a tight turnaround and did not want to spend time on shuttles etc. Although the website/Google said there was a desk in T5, when I received the booking confirmation from Auto Europe it was booked for terminals 2,3 and 4. I emailed to clarify and was told there was no desk in T5 and I would have to go to T2,3,4 to pick up the car. I had paid a lot more than other companies for the convenience of a quick pickup so this was frustrating and made me worry that I would have enough time. On arrival at T5 I called Sixt and was informed that there was indeed a desk in T5. I picked up a car from there; the desk was very efficient and the Spanish-speaking clerk was faultless. On pickup I was not shown anything about how the car works and wasted 20minutes setting up the satnav. The attendant knew less about it than me and I eventually sorted it myself but this made me late and further annoyed. The car itself was great, clean and new. Drop off would have been easy except that the text was confusing so I ended up at the T2,34 Drop off. The system needs to be improved to recognise where a customer has picked up their car and send them the text with the appropriate postcode. I thought the desk efficiency and physical dropoff and the car itself were great, but the booking and communication systems and the explanation of the car's basic functions at pickup need improving, especially for the high price charged.

" First off when I called the number on my booking to say that I would a little late as immigration took a little longer than expected I was kept on hold for a long long time I hung up the phone after around 10 minutes without talking to anyone...imagaine the cost of making an international call just to listen to a recording...then when I went to pick the car from Sixt I thought everything would be smooth as the car I booked was supposed to be a car for a family of five with enough boot space to accommodate one large bag and two medium bags...according to my booking receipt...however when I turned up at the Sixt counter the car I was given could not even accommodate two bags...I had to run to the counter and back to the parking lot and back to the counter at least 4 times to get the car changed...we tried 3 cars before managing to get the bags into a car...for which I had to pay an additional cost as the vehicle was 'not in the category I booked'. Imagine paying in excess of GBP 200 for no fault of mine...all this after an eight hour flight with three kids all below 7yrs...I tried calling the number on the booking but no one answered..when I spoke to the Sixt counter staff they bluntly told me that I should take it up with Auto Europe and there was nothing they could do....they said that since I booked the car through a third party they could not help me...why should I have to pay the amount I need someone to get back to me on this...this is outrageous...I booked the car for GBP 350 odd and I ended up paying GBP 800 odd...all for no fault of mine...truly disgusted "

" First time using AutoEurope and so far, so good. "
" They didn't have a car in the class I booked and tried to upsell with the insurance package. As it was late I didn't have the motivation to haggle too much and in the end took a car from a higher class for the booked price that suited what I needed it for. But in future, if I book a Peugeot 308 or similar then I would expect something like a Focus, Astra or Golf. If they don't have those then I would expect to be offered the Audi A3 or BMW 1-series and not be offered a VW Polo as being in the same class. The attendant only offered a VW Polo or Zafira for the price I booked for. "

" I would not recommend Sixt to a friend, because on arriving to collect my car, I was informed I needed my passport with me. This was never mentioned through out booking, on any paperwork, or at any time prior to arrival. I didn't have it, and was made to feel as if I had made a mistake. In fact, it was the communication between auto europe and sixt which was the problem. With two proofs of address, I did manage to hire the car, but this was a complete failing on behalf of auto europe and created significant unnecessary stress. Please review your processes and change the information you give out. "

" Car was in good condition but not perfectly cleaned. I was apprehensive about the long list of defects (scratches etc) which were identified in a typed list in the documents. It took about 15 minutes to find them since some were incredibly trivial and I wondered how pedantic SIXT would be when I returned it - I'm sure there would have been other scratches if I had looked deeply. However, on return it was checked and no issues were raised. "
" Two issues. I was persuaded to take a higher spec car which I was told was an extra "ten pounds a day" which would have been 170 pounds extra. I was not permitted to pay the extra when I returned the car and I only found out when I returned home that the cost was 204 pounds. Not enough to do anything about but not quite what was promised. Second issue was that there was no manual in the car which had many features which were new to me. I was told SIXT do not provide manuals "because people steal them". My experience with other companies is that there is a manual provided. "

" Autoeurope lied regarding the car' s description on its website: saying the capacity was of 2 big bags and 3 cabin bags, but was only 2 big bags. Not a good surprise when you are 5 in the car for 10 days of holidays... Considering the price paid, I would have expected an honest service To be provided by autoeurope... Not happy at all about this experience: I Will share it and recommend people not To rent a car using autoeurope. "
