Earlier this year, I rented a car when I was on a one-day trip in Brussels, Belgium. Previously, I always used public transport or taxi when I was visiting a foreign city. So this was the very first time in my life to rent a car, and I'd like to share my experience form that with you.
Why did I want to rent a car at all? Well, when I booked my flight ticket to Brussels, there was an ad on the Internet offering 'fly and drive smart', and as I always ... ...decided to rent a car in Brussels.
Soon after, I found out that this special offer was no longer valid on the day when I intended to visit Brussels, but I was already familiar with the idea, I wanted to rent a car, even if this was not the Smart.
I searched the web for interesting offers. I visited the web sites of Avis, Hertz, Budget and others. Finally, I found a very good offer on the e-sixt site (www.e-sixt.com). The e-sixt site on the internet ...

...Scenic, Fiat Stilo class) with Sixt as the previous summer we booked with Hertz and the queues for the car hire desk were enormous and I seem to remember that the Sixt queue was short. I now understand the reason for the short queue. I got to the front of the queue after the UK couple in front of me had been told that there was no 9 seater people carrier for them as ordered and they spent an hour arguing their case, unsuccessfully.
When it came ... ...one we wanted at the Sixt branch there, he promised to phone ahead. The call ahead was never made and after an exhausting hour or so explaining the difficulties were told that the airport did not have any E group cars and the best they could do was give us a C group Fiat Idea (basically a stretched Panda). That was it.
Having got back from my holiday about three weeks ago I have sent numerous e-mails to Sixt in Italy and spoken to Sixt customer ...

Advantages: ABSOLUTELY NONE Disadvantages: HIRING A CAR FROM THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE
Sixt is the most negligent and un-customer friendly car hire agency around. It's been 3 months and we are still dealing with their negligence. First off, we made an online reservation for a diesel vehicle and upon retrieval at the Sixt Branch we received a verbal confirmation that the car we received was in fact diesel. Following that confirmation, we put diesel in the vehicle later that evening. Within two miles, the car broke down. After calling ... ...were told by RAC that Sixt would cover the cost of the repair, but in fact, we had to pay for the repair plus extra for more petrol. We proceeded to drive 5 miles back to out guesthouse under very unsafe conditions, with the car bucking and breaks not functioning properly, down dark country lanes at 11pm. We were told that in the morning the car would function normally, but it then broke down again as we exited out hotel parking lot. Over the following ...

Advantages: good location Disadvantages: terrible to deal with after the fact
We rented 2 cars from sixt for 12 days while visiting Germany and Italy. Getting the cars was easy we took the extra insurance so that if anything happened there wouldn't be a problem. While driving to Italy my Brother-in-laws car was out of oil and we had to stop and buy oil so the car won't break down. They didn't care when the car was returned!
We scratched the bumper of our car on a rock - no big deal it was about 6 inches long. When we returned ... ...the car with a fine tooth comb and "found" 4 places were the car was damaged. We told them we didn't do it and didn't know when the damage happened. Everything seem Ok until 2 weeks after returned home. We got a bill for 950eur upon contacting them they said that was our deductible and that we had to pay it. The bill we were sent was in German, when we asked for it in English they got nasty with us and told us that Volvo Paint was expensive and to ...

Quick review of Sixt
We rented a car from Sixt for a week in England. We wanted insurance protection and chose Sixt because insurance was included in the rate. While driving on paved roads in the Cotswolds we had a flat tire from a puncture that required a new tire. Sixt said we must pay for the tire even though we had paid for the insurance. We have had flat tires before on rental cars but have never been required to pay for the tire. In the future we will rent from one of the major car rentals instead. ...

Advantages: Easy to use website Disadvantages: Hidden costs
When I called Sixt car rental in Battersea, London asking if it would be ok to keep the car an extra day, I was told no problem. I was even told that they would sort it out with their head office so that I would keep the spacial rates. When I returned the car, I asked to see the final cost (yes you have to ask for it). My extra day cost me over twice the initial daily rate, and no one mentioned on the phone either that there is an extra £10 for late ...

We hired a car for 14 days to drive around Italy and found their Milan outlet to be easy to locate, easy to get in and out of (ie to get on the freeway etc) and we had enough of a selection of cars to pick from.
The staff were not terribly clear however when it came to explaining the insurance side of the contract. They mentioned the risk of damage/theft when driving and parking in the south of the country but we left not really knowing what we ...

Advantages: None Disadvantages: Sloppy maintenance of the rented car, refuse to refund expenses incurred
We rented a Fiat Linea (different make from the Opel Astra we had reserved months in advance), plate 60FP20, RA 6664025901 at Lisboa airport on 07 June 2009. We went to Algarve and toured there until 11 June. In the morning of 11th we left Algarve and began touring Alentejo. On the 12th, in the middle of Alentejo, the oil pressure alarm began to flash. We stopped and checked the oil tank: the tank cap was missing and there was practically no more ... ...Luckily we were at 2 km from a service station where we bought 3 liters of oil and a new oil tank cap, for a total expense of € 114,75. We also topped the radiator water tank and were thus able to continue our journey. However we lost a lot of time and had to skip some of our internediate stops. On the morning of 13th we gave back the car at the Lisboa airport and we asked for refund of the expense incurred, leaving as proof a copy of the receipt. ...
