I put in a reservation on 3/30/22 They left me a voice mail 4/29/22 to tell me they didn’t have the 12 passenger van I needed to go out of town with for the next day . I was pissed my daughter was graduating from college in another state.

The price always shocks me.

Worst car rental experience ever! I got a late night voicemail less than 12 hours before I was supposed to pick up my rental saying the location for my pick up was closed (I had made my reservation 3 months prior). On the morning when I was supposed to pick up my car to go home for the holidays, Hertz informed me there was no car available for me in the entire Chicago area. I was on the phone with them for an hour and they did absolutely nothing. I will never rent from them again.

Did not get the car I asked for. The car was not cleaned. Gas tank was not filled. Long lines waiting to pick up car, and office closed while dropping off car.

my credit card number was stolen and used within hours of picking up car, giving my credit card info to sixt employees. My credit card co believes it was likely this car rental that took/used my card illegally.

Where to START? My husband carefully researched this and we paid ahead of time with your service. We get to Ohare at 5:30 a.m. and expect a car, ready for us? NOPE. No car for you...you have to get 23 miles all the way downtown Chicago and pick up your car there. Nothing we can do about it, says the SixT agent. No help whatsover. NONE. I wait 5+ hourse for my husband to hire a Lyft to get downtown (23 miles there at CONSIDERABLE cost). He finally gets back to Ohare to pick me and our luggage up about 11 a.m....making a long trip from the West Coast an even longer trip with major headaches, too. Would NEVER recommend SixT to anyone. Nope. No offer of shuttle to get said car. No offer to help at all. Absolutely horrid customer service.

Pros:

Staff was friendly but did not help me when I called in about the car being dirty on the inside.

Cons:

The car was in disgusting condition and clearly had not been cleaned or sanitized at all. Was not helped when I called into the store to report this. Also, the iPass did not work in the tolls. It was truly an awful experience and I would never recommend this service to someone.
