Hände weg von Sixt in Bristol Airport. Autoübernahme im Juni katastrophal; nicht das reservierte Auto d.h. viel grösser (es sei ein Upgrade). Wollte ein kleineres Auto, aber dafür musste ich ein Upgrade bezahlen!
Da ich etwas resolut wurde, hat mir der Sixt-Angestellte die Miete verweigert!! und mich zur Konkurrenz geschickt.
Vermutlich den Aufwand (Stornieren meines Vertrags) zu umgehen, hat er dann das Auto trotzdem gegeben.
Unter Kundenservice verstehe ich etwas anderes.
Das Auto war sehr gut, aber um einiges teurer als meine Reservation.
Bei der Rückgabe war niemand vor Ort und die Fahrstreifen von Sixt blockiert. Never again Sixt!

Esperienza molto positiva. Persone cordiali e disponibili e corrette. Avevamo scelto una Citroen C3 Aircross, ma ci hanno proposto una Skoda Octavia sw oppure una BMW serie 2 berlina, troppo grandi per le nostre esigenze. Infine abbiamo concordato per una Skoda Scala, il tutto sempre allo stesso prezzo. Abbiamo accettato la loro proposta, per noi conveniente, versando 35/40£ extra mediante la quale potevamo restituire l'auto senza dover fare il pieno di benzina ed a prescindere dal suo livello. Trasmettono in tempo reale via email tutta la documentazione sottoscritta e forniscono chiare indicazioni logistische per la restituzione del veicolo. Abbiamo noleggiato auto con varie compagnie durante i nostri viaggi e raramente abbiamo trovato questa correttezza. Complimenti, bravi!

A very positive experience. The staff were friendly, helpful, and honest. We had chosen a Citroen C3 Aircross, but they offered us a Skoda Octavia estate or a BMW 2 Series sedan, both of which were too large for our needs. Ultimately, we agreed on a Skoda Scala, all of them at the same price. We accepted their offer, which was convenient for us, paying an extra £35-40. This allowed us to return the car without having to fill up the tank with gas and regardless of its level. They sent all the signed documents via email in real time and provided clear logistical instructions for returning the vehicle. We have rented cars from various companies during our travels and have rarely encountered such honesty. Congratulations, well done!
I rented a car from Sixt for the first time and did not have a good experience with roadside assistance.
* Platter tires reported at 4 pm
* Received false information from the employees on the phone
* Towed to the hotel at 10 pm
* The next day after 2 hours of phone calls was picked up by taxi at 2 pm to be driven to the Sixt location for 2 hours
* With each phone call you had to pass on your complete data again, so about 25 times
* New car was dirty and smelled very unpleasant
* Service hours were not met, at 19:20 the counter was no longer occupied
Terrifying experience
We had pre-booked and prepaid for our rental and were travelling with our five-month-old baby. While serving me, the employee repeatedly made unsolicited comments about my appearance and how I looked compared with my driving licence photograph, including comments about my age. I was visibly upset by this and told my husband (who had not been present) what had been said.
My husband, when requesting a new baby car seat, calmly asked the employee whether he had made comments about my appearance. As the employee seemed to be early twenties, my husband felt he may not know how sensitive negative comments about new mums appearances are!
However, immediately after my husband asked the question, the employee’s demeanour switched. Until my husband questioned him about his comments, he had been proceeding with our rental normally. He then became hostile and aggressive towards us.
He had already handed us the keys to our prepaid rental vehicle, and we had already loaded up the entire with all our luggage and belongings. He abruptly decided that he would no longer allow us to take the car. At one point, he even entered the vehicle while our personal belongings were still inside and began searching for the keys.
He repeatedly yelled abuse at us and behaved in such an aggressive and intimidating manner that I eventually told him that if he did not stop harassing us, we would have to call the police. His behaviour nevertheless continued. He called me insecure and irrational, only stopping when I pointed out that he was screaming at a woman holding a young baby in a car park at his place of work, in uniform. It was bizzare and I was genuinely shaking by the end of his tirade.
We were ultimately left stranded near the end of the day with our five-month-old baby and without the vehicle we had paid for. We had no realistic alternative but to arrange an emergency rental at extremely short notice, which cost us approximately £600.
I have previously had very positive experiences with Sixt, including at Bristol, which makes what happened even more disappointing.
Sixt Customer Services have since apologised, confirmed that they are taking the matter very seriously and that a formal investigation is underway. Mark at Sixt Bristol has been fantastic. We have also formally requested that the relevant CCTV footage is preserved.
We hope Sixt resolves this amicably, appropriately and swiftly. I will update this review once their investigation has concluded.

Muy buena experiencia en todo el proceso. Para la recogida del coche debes tomar un autobús lanzadera en la salida del aeropuerto que en 5 minutos estas en la oficina. La recogida fue muy facil ya que pude hacer el ckeck in online y presentar también la documentación y pago cosa que me ahorré tiempo, solo fue llegar y que me dieran las llaves. Habia pedido coche golf o similar automatico y me dieron un bmw serie 2 active tourer hybrido enchufable cosa que me gustó ya que hice parte del viaje en electrico. La devolución fue sencilla en el mismo sitio y dejar el coche en la fila 1 o 2 y la llave en un buzón. Si vuelvo seguro que volveré a reservar con ustedes
