When calling to ask if I can leave my car there when I pick up the rental nobody could give me a straight answer even after multiple calls. On the day of when I called I was told I couldn't. I could've been better prepared if I was told ahead of time. Really unprofessional

I was able to get a car same day

Just about everything. First car had rock damage to the windshield and I was asked to sign off on the existing damage to the car prior to inspecting. The entire facility is trashy and dirty. The worst part is the EZpass charge. Because of the EZpass charge alone, I will not rent from advantage again

I ordered a compact car but when I arrived they gave me a huge car that I wasn’t comfortable driving. I told them I wanted a compact car because that was what I ordered but when I said that she said they didn’t have anything else so I had no other choice because I had to leave at 8 in order to make it to my destination. They put me in a very uncomfortable situation and that was not what I paid for annnd on top of that I had to pay double the gas price because it was such a big car and gas is incredibly expensive right now. All around a bad experience because I had no other choice after trekking all the way to the airport and couldn’t just turn around or get a different car.

Dear Kayak Thank you for asking for my review. I arrived in good time to pick up my car but was deeply shocked that Dollar expected me to join a very long, densely populated, slow moving line with no hope of picking up my car on time. That was the good news. This story gets worse: conditions in which Dollar was operating at pickup time, violated laws, transgressed regulations and ignored guidelines, Had I joined Dollar's line, I would have stood a better chance of catching Covid, than picking up my car anywhere close to on time. The entire building contained a solid mass of car seeking humanity, that spilled into the inadequate walkways. The air conditioning was overwhelmed. The overcrowding made communication with the understandably engrossed Dollar staff difficult. The building is of a type generally known as pre-fabricated and "temporary." Dollars method of pickup operation is seemingly permanent according to witnesses, regulars and observers in the area, Common sense dictated that I decline to run Dollar's gauntlet.

The vehicle reserved was not available. My family was stranded without an alternative plan. Connection between kayak and dollar was unacceptably poor.

I left my purse somewhere between the rental car return and the train so dashed back to trace my steps and met the nicest enterprise employee ever who quickly took me to the car to check, called his manager and then the manager called the train folks. Happy ending in that my purse was returned and we were able to catch our scheduled flight! It started with two very conscientious Enterprise employees. I failed to get their names but am sending them a high five!

I am not at all satisfied with the rental experience on your site! I found the experience unprofessional. First of all, the car was very small, not even two carry-on bags in the trunk. It said on the website that the car could be that choice or an equivalent model, but ours was clearly an inferior model. Why is it not possible to choose the model? It is important because there is a risk of theft if you leave the car parked with the suitcases in the back seat. Secondly, at the time of pick up I found myself still having to pay a lot of money for: - insurance (which I had already paid with Allianz suggested by your site. At the time of pick up they told me that it was not enough and they recommended another one) - add a second driver (it was not specified on the site that only one person could drive). I had decided to rent a car because it was a cheaper option, but If I had known I would have travelled by plane. I would have preferred to have the final price when I booked on your site!!!!

I waited for nearly two hours to pick up my rental car. I lost two hours of driving back from Newark to Detroit because I had to wait in line just to pick up my reserved car. It was honestly kind of a nightmare, and the only good thing about the experience is that the customer service reps were extremely nice. When I got in line, there were only two people working the desk; by the time I made it to the front of the line, there were four.

My agreement was for $405.53, my receipt said $405.53 but my credit card was charged 605.53. This is unacceptable, what is that extra $200? There is no accounting for it in the receipt, I didn't check my credit card charge prior to checking out but instead used my printed receipt to check the charge. The charge hasn't officially cleared yet but I am concerned that this was a bait and switch by Avis.

(1) When I inquired whether I could upgrade to a hybrid, neither staff member knew what a hybrid car was. (2) Didn't offer a form for me to note pre-existing damages, and said one wasn't available when I inquired. (3) After I returned the car, they claimed that there's new damage when there's not.

Very bad pickup at Newark. Staff was rude and did not want to spend a few minutes to explain the insurance. Pickup was friendly. I will not book on Kayak in the future because it is not well integrated with Sixt's system.

So many other rental companies really push their add-on insurance, but not Sixt. The agent did try to get me to opt for their EZ-Pass for tolls (at $34 plus tolls), which isn't really necessary given the new cash-less toll policies in the area (but you have to respond to pay your tolls). On checkout, their receipt documents all "damages" to the vehicle (scratches, etc). All in all, a great car at a good price. Quick and painless return. I'll definitely use Sixt again.

Despite providing both Kayak and Sixt my flight arrival time into EWR, the Sixt rental counter desk was closed and I was unable to retrieve the car I had reserved and pre-paid. Fortunately, the other major rental car brand desks were open and I rented elsewhere. Thus far Sixt has resisted refunding their $400+ charge. Rent from Sixt in the US at your own risk.

Avoid at all costs! I received a scratched up car and was assured it was fine by the agents. I was not provided a paper receipt when requested and now Sixt is trying to hold me accountable for a smudge (not even a scratch) on the cover of a mirror. Garbage rental car company.

Wait time to check-in was 15-20 minutes while being the first one on queue. A lot of confusing offers for protection and other add-ons which resulted in additional charges. Car was not well cleaned. There were hideous stains on the interior roof of the car. The car itself, while being an upgrade, was not well maintained -- car shook uncontrollably between 60-70mph on the freeway. Drop-off was confusing and aggravating. No visible attendant on-site for the drop-off. The signage for where to return the car was also not visible. We ook the trouble to park into a Sixt parking spot and was walking toward rental office when approached by an attendant in one of the returned cars. She was combative and aggressive in asking why we did not find her to check back in the car. We would have had she been around and visible. Maybe it was not entirely her fault as perhaps the agency was short-staffed, however, the customer should not have been made to feel as if we did something wrong when we were just trying to be helpful.
