  I originally had a minor issue with the first car that was issued to me, but upon calling and explaining that there was an issue I was able to return the vehicle and get an upgraded vehicle from them which I greatly appreciated.

  I would strongly recommend against using SIXT as your rental car company based on this recent experience: I recently rented a car from SIXT at John Wayne Airport, Orange County, CA, for 6 days. I reserved the car through rentalcars.com. I previously posted a bad review of SIXT because I was charged much more for the protection plan than I expected and had been quoted. However, SIXT came through and corrected things, and credited my credit card account. They were very professional and understanding about it. I always had good experiences with SIXT in the past and I will continue to use them. On the other hand, I would recommend against using rentalcars.com and recommend renting a car directly from SIXT (or for others, any other rental car company preferred).

  Our experience was very very good! Honestly from check in/pickup the service was great. And on top of all of that, the rate was the best we could find by at least $200 for our week. Then, when we dropped off, the gentleman who met us out there, VERY early in the morning was super courteous and professional. He made sure we got checked in and had everything out of the vehicle. Then gave us directions of exactly where to go for where we needed at the airport. Honestly, they might have ruined us for all other rental car companies. 😂

  "Avoid Sixt: Discovered a 'Hidden' Damage Scam" I wish I had checked Yelp before renting with Sixt. This was my first and last time with this company. They have a practice of blaming customers for pre-existing damage and sending hefty repair bills after the fact. During pickup, I pointed out a large dent and several scratches. The inspector seemed helpful and took photos, leading me to believe everything was documented. However, upon return, they "discovered" one of the scratches and claimed I caused it. When I checked the pickup inspection sheet, it turned out the inspector had failed to record that specific spot. My advice: Stay away from Sixt. If you have no choice, take your own high-resolution photos of every single inch of the car at pickup. Zoom in on everything. Don't trust their inspectors to do their job correctly.

  This was my first and last time using SIXT. I had an awful experience at John Wayne (SNA) Airport. At pickup, I took photos of the vehicle from every angle thankfully. When I returned the car, the employee, Richard T., immediately pointed out a scratch. I told him the damage was already there at pickup and that I had photo proof. The photos clearly show the date and time, confirming the scratch existed before I ever drove the car. Despite this, he still documented the damage against me at drop-off. Now I’m forced to deal with unnecessary follow-ups over something that was not my responsibility. This situation could have been avoided if the damage had been properly documented in the first place. Be extremely careful if you rent from SIXT—take photos and videos of everything so you don’t end up in the same situation.
