Our flight arrived at midnight. I noted this when looking for a car. We were dropped off by the airport transport to the car rental facility in Kansas City. There was NOBODY there in the whole facility. Nobody at Dollar. Nobody at any counter. We sat in what resembled an empty shopping mall for 2 hours with my 83 year old mom in a wheelchair and 4 kids at midnight just trying to find a way out of there. No Uber had space for 7 of us. Customer service at Dollar wouldn't answer the phone. Customer service at Hertz quoted us $357 for 1 day to rent one of their vehicles just to get out of there, just to come back the next morning and get our actual rental, pre-paid for at Dollar. Nowhere in our pre-travel emails did it say that when we arrive there wouldn't be anyone to give us our van. Why would you rent a van to someone who stated they were coming in at midnight when you knew you wouldn't be there to provide? Two security guards and an exit gate attendant at Alamo working graveyard helped us as much as they could to get us out of there. We finally were able to snag a van with Alamo for $140 for the night just to get to a place to stay for the night. We had to drive an hour back the next day, on Easter mind you, to get our Dollar rental. Drop off was fine and the vehicle was fine and the manager on duty was able to help with some compensation which was appreciated. Travelers be warned however, vehicle rental past 6pm at KC airport with Dollar or Hertz will leave you stranded and alone.

They seem to be struggling with having cars ready for reservations. I think my agent tried to give me at least two or three cars and by the time they got to finalize it the car had be taken by someone else. I finally got a small Ford truck which did what I needed to get from point A to point B.

Renting through the app was fine. Trying to discuss changing with Avis was horrible! Good luck trying to speak with someone who speaks clear English and actually lives in the US. Still trying to get a charge, that I thought was cancelled, reversed. Horrible customer service and NOBODY to go physically talk to. I'll NEVER attempt to rent from them again.

The agent misrepresented an upsell, costing me 50% more than my original booking price. I retuned the car late and was charged a late fee plus an additional day of rental — either of these charges would have been OK, but both is just nickel and diming your customers. I called customer service several times, and each agent was polite and helpful. You’ve got a great help line. Unfortunately, I won’t use Payless ever again because your business practices are shady.

The van drove nice for our trip. Check out and your damage app along with lot attendants were horrible inadequate and completely useless. After pointing out additional damage unseen by sixt to the rental van before even starting it. I had to wait to get attendants over to document the damage I pointed out that wasn't on your damage list. Was told after their pictures that I was good to go. While returning the van....attendant told me I was good to go mr brian and assured me the "new damage" I'd pointed out 10 days earlier was on his app. Imagine my surprise 3 days later when sixt sent me a bill invoice email for $1505.00 to repair the "t-bone" damage I pointed out to them! Remit by sept 25th....Outrageous!!!! Didn't sleep at all that night. RUINED MY VACATION VIBES IMMEDIATELY!!! After 2 separate phones calls I got ZERO explanation from sixt or an apology. Was just passed on to another automated phone system until all offices were closed for the day. The next day I spoke to an emotionless drone at sixt claims department and had 9 separate photos and time and gps tagged that I was still in their lot with damaged vehicle at tge ready... I may get an attorney for reimbursement of my rental and vacation as well as emotional distress. Zero stars and would NEVER recommend or rent from sixt again!!! Way to run off a guy about to retire with lots of trips planned✊👈 I believe that they tried this on me because they were so inept at previous check in when van was damaged....they sent me a bill just to see if I'd pay like some idiot would. Corporate greed met it's match.

The agent I worked with at the counter when picking up the vehicle was excellent, and I am sorry, but I don't have her name handy. Hopefully, you all can see that from the paperwork and will give her kudos, as she did a fantastic job and was super friendly and helpful. She is a valuable asset to your company. I watched her work with the customers before me, and they left with the same sense of gratitude that I had when I finished working with her. Especially after the day I had been traveling.
