I was quoted a price and when I went to pick up they told me it would be $100 more for drop off at a different location from pick up, but that was already known via the reservation, so why would it not be in the original quote?!?

All in all everything was fine. Personal we’re fine, good service. Only “problem” I would report is the poor condition of windshield wipers. Unfortunately during our rental, hurricane Ian blew through and hit us with 3 days of constant rain. Wipers were horrible. I almost stopped at Autozone for new blades they were so bad. Did not make driving fun, especially at night. Perhaps Avis should pay a littler closer attention to these small maintenance issues.

I have not received any confirmation to my order. Pick up time was 6 P.M. I arrived there at 6.05. The offices were closed and no one was there to deliver a car. I did not pick the car. The insurance company billed me and sent me a confirmation immediately and the insurance policy so I had insurance but no car. I have tried to cancel the policy immediately on line but they required to upload the rental cancellation documents which I naturally didn't posses. So $33 lost no car and a total waste of time. Avis till this day have not bothered to contact me in any way to inquire what has happened. Basic customer service rules dictate that when a car has not been picked up you contact the customer and inquire about it and offer assistance if needed. Avis have not heard about it. I travel a lot and rent cars often. This was my first and last Avis experience. Needless to say I am not impressed with the insurance company either. They were quick enough to take my money online but made it impossible to cancel and be reimbursed once the trip time has passed even if no trip took place . They assume,and rightly so, that I would not bother to invest my time and energy for such a sum.

Car was fine. Pick up process no problem. Returning car to Newark was a fiasco; the signage was terrible. We circled a couple times trying to figure out where to go, but finally gave up and returned the car to Avis. They laughed and helped us. Still not sure what signs we missed!

The vehicle we rented did not have operational windshield wipers and we did not find out until we were in a downpour on our trip. This was very inconvenient and disheartening and took time away from our travels. We also lost all of the air conditioning in our vehicle. We had to drive with open windows and we were very uncomfortable. We tried to exchange the rental and were told there were no other vehicles available. This forced us to change some of our plans and minimize our trip. The temperature guage in the truck was also fluctuating and we were afraid we would break down along our ride. The pickup and drop-off were seamless and both were helpful.

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!!!!

The Hertz location had overbooked and was ~40 vehicles short of what they actually needed. This resulted in a wait of over 2 hours for a car. Once finally in a car, the car was only charged ~50%, which was not enough to complete my trip for that day without recharging. Overall, very poor customer service.

(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.

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.

The car smelled like cigarette smoke. They refused to give me a printed contract. They insisted that they take my photo before renting the car. When I refused, since I've never heard of such a thing, they made me wait at least 20 minutes to get a short form. Then on return, I was told I'd be reimbursed for the days I didn't use, but I was not.

Pick-up counter was a nightmare-- we waitied 30 minutes. They were woefully understaffed, and all but one of the staff was ridiculously slow. The location is also very difficult to access when returning the car. It's like some kind of google map exercise to see if you can actually find the drop-off

More staff, or at least one that felt some sense of urgency. Unfortunately, the location issue is a bigger issue with Newark Airport.
