This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I had a one day rental from Sixt that I picked up at the Frankfurt main train station at 9:30. It was a 1-day flat rate, all mileage included for a total of 39euro. The next day I filled up the car and returned it to the Frankfurt train station at 8:00 before I took a 9:00am train out of the country. I returned the keys directly to the Sixt agent at the station and provided her with the gas receipt.

Later when I checked my credit card, I saw a charge from them of $124 eur0-- more than quadruple the amount that I PHYSICALLY signed for. When I pressed Sixt for more information, they sent me an invoice showing that I returned the car late and in addition charged me to refuel the car. Amazing that the car was logged in LONG AFTER I left the country... nevermind that I filled the tank and dealt directly with the corrupt agent in Frankfurt.

Turns out this is a classic fraudulent billing scam leaving the consumer no recourse with disputing it with your credit card. The very least I could have done was stand there and watch the agent log the car in an get a final confirmation receipt... but with these f*ckers, I'm not sure that would have made much of a difference.

Rented a car, they said the upgrade was free to a bmw x1, but then proceeded to charge me 400 euros extra.

Reserved car for Maui trip. After fire, my airline cancelled my flight and resort closed due to lack of utilities. Airline and resort provided full refunds. Sixt refused to provide a refund or credit. They said my complaint would be filed with appropriate Sixt individual. I’ve never heard back despite several efforts. Stay away from Sixt
