Sixt Car Rental
« on: August 14, 2019, 11:24:19 PM »
Looking to rent a car in PHX last week in August. Sixt has some decent pricing on nice cars.

What's the rental experience like with them? Do they nickel and dime you and pack on fees? Anyone with (recent) experience at that or any other US location?

TIA

PS - I searched before posting but didn't find that much discussion about Sixt. Feel free to point me in the right direction if I missed something.

Except they will not honor the regular sixt reservation rate, claiming that the mandatory insurances required in Israel are not calculated correctly there :-(

I did not use them in Israel, but had a similar issue with Avis in Israel.

I have an agent login in with sixt in Israel and they never gave anyone problems with the price they generate through my login which includes liability

I made a regular reservation and they didn't require a card. Maybe Europe is different.

Thanks for the info, 100% even if you cancel a few days before? Or just last minute?

free double upgrade with CMexecutive (nned to register it).
PHX has decent rates with sixt to begin with, sometimes. Costco sometimes creams them

I used to get a discount for being Marriott Titanium with Sixt. Its not showing up on my profile anymore and I have no way of trying to fix it (atleast with the new website). Anyone else experiencing a similar issue?

I returned a car rental to PHL location but they never closed the rental?
There is no contact support? Anything to do or is this normal?

Also curious. Saw reports on FT Sixt Miami constantly doesn't have the cars they're committed to, and I noticed Sixt was offering a big selection of cars online even at times when most of the other companies were sold out.

I think Sixt & Enterprise are the only car rental companies that allow after-hours return in Manhattan, although Sixt charges a hefty OW fee for JFK-Manhattan.

E-mailed their support and they got back to me within a few hours. All ended up being good
