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 Soon after, I found out that this special offer was no longer valid on the day when I intended to visit Brussels, but I was already familiar with the idea, I wanted to rent a car, even if this was not the Smart.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).

...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 ... Read review

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 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 ... Read review

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.
