Mediocre|Jul 2023

The car that Budget gave us had a huge number of miles on it, more than I am used to seeing in a rental car, and it showed. The brakes were not sensitive and the general functionality of the car - the seat adjustment, the climate control - was not working very well. The car was just used too much and might not have been maintained well. The pick-up was easy, although the rental agent had posted a "be right back" sign in the window. We only had to wait about five minutes but it was odd. The return in Brooklyn was more difficult. The rental desk was hard to find and hard to approach in the car.

Sixt is absolutely the worst car rental in US. They will look for anything to add up charges. Dishonest and predatory. Do NOT recommend to anyone. Something to note, cars are smaller compared to other rental companies for the same class.

I will never rent cars from Sixt again. Ever. In selected the wrong date for a rental and promptly canceled the reservation one week before the rental date. Sixt forced me to pay $100 to cancel. This is grossly unfair and a predatory business practice.

Please let people know about after-hours drop-off location. I didn't know I would be dropping off after hours and didn't realize that it was at a different location. Then the email they said to use to tell them I dropped off the car didn't work. I called to let them know. The rep said she would confirm but never did.

Just an awful experience. I had prepaid for my rental at Hertz a month in advance. I was using the car to go out of state for a vacation. When I went to pick up my rental, I was told there was no car available. Then...I was made to call the 800 number to get a refund!! The rental agent at the Wood St. hertz location are beyond rude!! They offered me no help at all!! I ended up getting a rental through Enterprise. Hertz has lost me as a customer!!!
