Sixt Rental car charge

Rented a car for approximately a week while my car was being repaired. Was told numerous times during check out and drop off, that if I return the vehicle early I would only be charged the day rate. However, I was charged over $200 for 1 DAY! I also called SIXT for 3 days and was hung up on repeatedly. I will never again rent from this company.

Sixt Over charged rentals invoice

I rented a car from Sixt car rentals online for 2 days

I was offering two types of prices:-

1- to pay at the counter when I get the car approximate 384,58 EUR

2- to pay in advance prior to the rental for less price 352,58 EUR included taxes.

I choose to pay in advance as it was cheaper so I did .

When I got the bill invoice by email I was surprised that the have added additional amount of 39.80 EUR and the invoice changed from 352.58 EUR to 392.38 EUR

I have contacted them via Twitter to explain the difference and refund the amount, however there reply was “ you can choose a vehicle at the counter other than the one reserved. Depending on what is available, we may have attractive offers available for you. Choice Upgrade means selecting a higher-class vehicle for a small upgrade fee. Therefore the total rental price has increased. Kind regards, Christine”

Off course this was not acceptable reply to me and I asked them to refund the difference immediately.

Kindly your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated and that’s why I am filling a complaint against Sixt car rentals .

Desired outcome: Request to refund the overcharged amount

Sixt Charges for a broken wheel mount after I reported a leaking tire. SX-[protected]-88-801, FL-QMZF45

My wife and I rented a Toyota Camry from Sixt at ORD in Chicago for 23 days starting on 8-26-21. We noticed the left rear tire was leaking air and was flat in the mornings. After filling the tire with air several times with the same result of an almost flat tire in the morning we reported the matter to Sixt customer service on 9-4-21.

Customer service instructed us to take the car rental to a local tire dealer and have the tire repaired if possible. I took the rental to a AAA repair facility and they advised me that the tire had been previously repaired against code in the sidewall and that the tire could not be repaired. We notified customer service and later that same day Sixt swapped out our car rental for an upgrade.

After the completion of the rental period we received a claim from Sixt for a broken wheel mount?! I have advised them repeatedly that a previous customer had attempted to fix the tire and that if indeed the tire mount was broken it happened by the actions of the previous customer. A photograph of the previously repaired tire was provided to Sixt. I have advised them repeatedly that we followed the instructions of their customer service department and their attempt to bill us for the alleged damages was absolutely wrong.

Sixt continues to demand that we pay $241 for the wheel mount.

Desired outcome: I demand that the Sixt claims department immediately drop the claim and to cease their unending demands for payment.

Sixt Incorrect credit card charges

Invoice #[protected] for reservation #[protected]

Reservation was for 5days 25-04-2022 to 04-30-2022. Invoiced and credit card charged for 8 days. Invoice shows car return date as 2/5/2022 at 15:57 PM. Car actually returned on [protected] at 11:30 AM as reserved. When I returned the car rental agent stated " computers were down" so she (Ms. Chiara) could not give me copy of final invoice charges. Now 4 weeks later I get invoice for 1954 EUR's when reservation amount quoted was

1158.44 EUR's,

Desired outcome: Void this invoice and issue new invoice with correct number of rental days which for 5 days should be only 1221 EUR's

Sixt Deducting money without any details

We ended up with almost 900EUR charges on our card after one month from the trip: we not aware of charges and no respond from SIxt related to that charge, we cant believe a large rental car company don't notify their client before charges or after with their insane charges, the car returned with same conditions but they charge us more than double what was charged previously. They do not answer emails and their phone customer service (works only 3 hours per day) always tells that they will investigate and return to me but never do. I am fed up with international calls charges etc and want to escalate. Thank you

Sixt Rent car nice airport [protected]

At the desk we were confronted with extra costs:

- extra insurance for own risk: 35 Euro a day. It came out we could have insured that for 4 Euro a day at Allianz. Its a shame that your organisation is doing this.

- extra payment of 22 Euro for going to Italy. Totally unneccesary! We just crossed the border and broygh the car back to Nice.

I want to make a complaint on these costs. They mounted to almost 300 Euro's. It is reasonable to get some of the money back. Say 10 Euro a day for the insurance will cover it. 8x25 i.e. 200 Euro for the insurance and the 22 Euro for the drive to Italy makes 200 Euro, and a bit.

I ask you to return these costs. If not I'll warn against the practises of SIXT.

Klaas de Boer

Desired outcome: RTeturn of 200 Euro on my account.

Hi,

We rented a car in Annecy and were told it would be $300 for one day. Told that they would hold an additional $500 for any possible damages. I received an invoice for $750 for one day. Not even 12 hours. There were excellent mile charges and then other fees that were not explained. We were told it would be $300 regardless of miles.

Sixt Deposit not returned

We rented a car on the 6th to the 8th of May in Kiel, Germany with unlimited miles. The deposit we paid was 500 eur. It has now been more than 3weeks after returning the car and still we have not received our deposit back! We have called the rental office, sent emails to the german office and also Sixt in US repeatedly...last info we got was that they are holding back the deposit as they say that the car was returned on the 12th! What? As the office was closed they said the car had to be parked outside and the keys to be placed in the keybox and we did...we also said that they could check the camera that we did return the car as per rental agreement. They answered that they don't have cameras there and the chip in the car said it was not returned on the 8th! What? If a car would not have been returned as agreed surely they would call the customer asking when the car will be returned? We returned with full petrol, cleaned and as per agreement and we still don't get our deposit back? We have contacted the nearby shops asking for camera footage and have filed a complaint at the local police and contacted the lawyer...shameful that a huge company such as Sixt do not honor their rental agreements with their customers! All we want is our deposit back and now surely they will have to pay much much more!

Desired outcome: Our deposit for 500 eur back!!

Sixt car rental

Ladies and Gentlemen,

We originally booked a car with your company and consequently our credit card was charged with an amount of EUR 728.96 in February 2022.

We took delivery of the car at Palermo Airport (Italy) on April 10, 2022.

The car broke down after 30 miles of drive.

The car was evacuated by your customer service.

The next day we came back to the airport and received a new car (contract N° [protected])

We got charged on our credit card for an additional amount of CHF 526.90.

Please explain why we had a double charge, whereas we think we should get a refund and a compensation for the trouble.

We also submitted two taxi invoices at your Palermo Airport office and did not get reimbursed.

Thank you for your attention.

Sixt Car rental overcharging

Booking Ref [protected]

As discussed on Wed when I returned the car for booking ref [protected], the car was not fully fuelled as expected on Sunday and only had 120 miles of fuel left. I returned the car with 200 miles of fuel left so you should be able to refund me the difference in fuel costs. (pictures of fuel gauge attached).

Booking Ref [protected]

I requested an amendment to this booking to extend the return time from 10:00 to 15:00 on 12th Nov. The additional cost to pay was £6.52 which was charged to my credit card.

I also mentioned the issues with this booking when the original car that I was given Peugeot 208 reg KW21FYF had only 18 miles of fuel left instead of a full tank as per the agreement. I was given a replacement car Skoda Fabia GJ71LFF which I returned with a full tank of fuel. I have attached a copy of the fuel receipt from Winford Ford garage on 12th Nov for £32.80.

I received an invoice from you on 15th Nov (attached) charging me an additional £237.64 for the car hire that I had already paid.

I have emailed this information to SIXT three times and had no response!

Desired outcome: Reimbursement of fuel costs and excess charges for the bookings ref provided

Sixt Queenstown sixt rental car

I paid a rental car from this company via Expedia and this was all sussed by Expedia. When I arrived at the airport in Queenstown last week the 10.05.2022 around 9pm.I was told by them that it wasn't paid and I had to pay it again plus the bond amount as well. I was running late to an event I was rushing to so I decided to pay and I'll later on get my refund when I send them the receipt from Expedia. After I used their services for 3 days (3 days of rental car booking), came back home and I checked my bank account the other day, to my surprise I was charged again from them for no reason.I contact them directly requesting for a refund and they asked to send them a receipt from Expedia. I send them a receipt from Expedia and they mention later that they need to confirm it again with Expedia before refunding or wait after one week. Like are they serious ? not only that I paid extra for their services but they also charged my card again for absolutely no bloody reason ! [censored] services and I do not recommend to anyone to ever use this company for renting vechiles in Queenstown or anywhere in general because that is what they will do to you !

Desired outcome: Bloody fix online payment system before letting customer use services and improve refunding process as well !!!!
