Car was not available although I got a booking CONFIRMATION from Sixt/Kayak. When at the counter, the employee told me it is not a confirmation but merely and "agreement" that the customer can go to the counter. Car proposed was over 2x inital cost. I have NEVER ever had to pay extra when upgraded because the original class was not available and I travel a lot. Insurance was insane at 45 Euro/day. I ended booking with Avis, they had a car and honoured their quote. Not the first time I am having issue with Sixt and will try to stay away from them.

We picked up the rental and immediately noticed the poor condition of vehicle. I told attendant and they said there was nothing that could be done. When arriving to our hotel and the city areas we noticed it wasn't going into gear properly. The valet attendant at the hotel also mentioned to us that something was wrong. We notified the company immediately and after 4 hours of waiting for a mechanic to show we decided to go get our kids something to eat. When we got back the mechanic had come and took the car with our personal belongings. Car seat, stroller and baby carrier and bag well over $1,000 worth of things. I had to pay over $100 in cab fees and call the police to get my things back from the company. This was all on Christmas Day. No one tried to fix or make this up to us. They did not care at all. I ended up having to spend $700 more in a rental because that's all that was available with another company at short notice on Christmas. I don't understand how people can be so cold hearted and inconsiderate.

When I arrived, the car I booked wasn't available. The car they replaced it with was too small for our group, so we were stuck cramped in a tight space and having to shuttle back and forth for our whole trip. I asked for full insurance coverage and only received basic coverage. Now they say there is a small scratch on the bumper and have charged 850 euros to my credit card for the damage. This has been an absolute nightmare.

The pick up was kinda chaotic, the vehicle was awesome, the return was very chaotic, vehicles were left on a single lane with nobody around to collect the vehicle or anything. We walked all the way back to the counter when we picked up the vehicle, while we were standing there one older gentleman was cleaning the floor and a younger gentleman was trying to get things going and told us he would be right with us. It took him about 10 minutes to get things going and we handed him the paper work and the keys and asked us if there was anyone down stairs, I told him no except a whole row of vehicles. He handed us the paper work back and kept the key and said you're all good. When we arrived in Dublin I've got an email stating that I left the car and didn't handed over the keys and they couldn't move the vehicle. I emailed them back that I got there at 6:30am nobody was down stairs so I walked upstairs and handed over the key. By the time I got back to Los Angeles I received another email stating nobody had the key and could describe the person I handed the key over to, so far I haven't heard back from them, but to that was a pretty strange experience to say at least. Wilhelmus Voesten.
