Pros:No fuss, get what you paid for! No up sell/over sell! Navigation system was all inclusive instead of another add-on. Easy access at Gatwick although I feel that location is “very tight” for pickups and drop-offs! Staff are friendly and helpful!Cons:They gave me a C4 Cactus which was an awful drive. I feel an offer of car type of other compacts would have been better!Reviewed Jun 19 2019

Terrible pick-up experience.Pros:Nothing.Cons:Awful, terrible lousy and expensive We arrived at 10am to collect our prebooked car and had to wait 90 minutes for it to be ready. Awful customer service from the front desk agent and a man who claimed to be the regional manager. While waiting we discovered that we could have booked the same car £50 cheaper with Avis who didn't have any wait. CDW wasn't included in the rate but wasn't clear. Be very careful, you'll get stung! Never again.Reviewed Oct 9 2017

FAQs about renting a car from Sixt at London Gatwick Airport

  • What vehicle types are recommended for booking SIXT car hire at London Gatwick Airport?

    A small compact or economy car is recommended for driving in London, especially in the city centre, where the streets can be narrow with tight corners. However, this vehicle type is not ideal when travelling with a group of family or friends; we recommend full-sized saloons, SUVs, or people carriers, with greater seating capacity and storage space for luggage. Luxury cars are recommended for business travellers and others who prefer stylish comfort with premium extras.

    Overseas visitors to London must produce their passport, return ticket, photographic ID, and valid domestic driving licence to obtain a SIXT car hire at London Gatwick Airport. We also recommend bringing your International Driving Permit if you have one. The agency accepts most major credit cards, including MasterCard and Visa, but also allows the use of bank debit cards. Just make sure the names on the card and licence are identical.

  • Where are the best places to park a London Gatwick Airport SIXT car hire?

    Although on-street parking is available in Central London, there are parking restrictions in place Monday to Saturday from 8:30 am-6:30 pm, which can be problematic. Park & Ride is a convenient option to avoid congestion charges and excessive parking rates. Public parking in the City of London is usually free Monday-Saturday from 6:30 pm-8:30 pm and all day Sundays and Bank Holidays.
