“What a bad experience my family and I had with the...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Wouter28 on 22/09/2022

What a bad experience my family and I had with the 'service' of carrentals. In summary: - Booked and paid for a car for my family +/- 2 months prior to our holiday - No car was available upon arrival - No alternative was offered - It took 38! days for any one of customer service to respond - Now more than 2 months after not having received a car, I still haven't received a refund, let alone for all additional expenses we had to make and effort we took to try to get in touch and deliver all kinds of documents In short, we truly have been tricked by carrentals without anyone taking ownership or feeling customer service is something valuable for the company. I recommend no one to make a reservation with carrentals since the outcome can be disastrous.

“They will tell you that the card block amount required...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by uhGorman239 on 15/10/2018

They will tell you that the card block amount required is one number and the car rental will tell you another higher number when you get there. This way they can catch you out and you pay both companies. Never waste your time with them, just book direct with the companies, I have complained to them many times and they send the same crappy excuses back. SAVE YOURSELF THE MONEY AND HEADACHE!

“Great”

★★★★☆

written by Copeland357 on 06/09/2017

The booking was very easy and I found the people at Hertz very helpful when I arrived to collect the car. The car was relatively new and if very good condition with was nice and clean throughout. The information provided from the website was excellent and all that was required for the collection of the car. They also sent a reminder of all the documents needed for when I collected the car.

“Easy, no-hassle rental”

★★★★★

written by on 04/06/2017

Was very happy with our rental through carrentals.co.uk. Easy pick up at Heathrow and drop off at a different location. Did not have any surprise charges or requirements when we got the rental (which was huge because it had happened to us in the past). It was easy to add on the car seat for our infant. Will definitely use this site again!

“Great car. Easy booking. Trouble adding insurance”

★★★☆☆

written by 1948Connolly on 09/05/2017

Car: great. Booking: easy. Add insurance: troublesome. Pick-up: service could have been better. We got a great car with little mileage and very reliable. Confortable to drive, very economic on normal mode, fast and responsive on sports mode :) Renting on-line was smooth at first. However when trying to add insurance we got a payment rejection which was not easy to solve. Called to fix it, and the lady was very glad to help with adding it by phone. Too bad at the end she asked for a price much higher than first presented on the website when we 1st tried. I did not like that, and therefore did not acquire insurance from them. At Bodø airport (Budget counter), it was very easy to get the car key. However, it was not easy to note down on the contract all damage marks I found on the car. I came back to the desk with many annotations (and pics), and the waiter played ver unhelpful to note them down, almost rolling his eyes over, because my extremely-careful-and-contingent personality was very inconvenient for his lazyness to do the job he is paid for... So, the experience with budget was not the best in customer care, but good regarding the car.

“Florida car rental.”

★★★★★

written by on 01/05/2017

Easy to bookvia internet. Desk in airport had all my info electronically and didn't need all the paperwork. Got a brand new nissan rogue not a rav 4 but it was as good if not better.car was faultless az you would expect from a new car. I wasnt aware of all the extras offered e.g. roadside assist/ break down cover, road toll. We went for the inclusive fuel but would have been eazier to have brought the car back full rather than empty and fuel is about 2.50 dollars a gallon! Would be happy to use again!

“Car hire simplified”

★★★★★

written by Cannonpj400 on 04/03/2017

I have booked through yourselves before, a very simple process and great to be offered excess insurance protection, if I had a criticism it would be the fact that I could not identify which car hire firm I was actually booking until after I was sent the voucher with the individual details on, this would help me to further be able to choose my rental firm in relation to location on the airport or if it means to travel to a local hire area which means possible 20-30 mins on a shuttle bus. If I could clearly identify the location I would probably pay slightly more for the convince of being on the airport grounds. Otherwise complaint over & I will be booking again, cheers.

Asked by TomaszP on 6th May 2014 Report this content
I found information about their company on a polish, turistic forum. I wanted to rent a car for the time of my stay in Spain through agent, who recommends only truly good rental car companies. I planned to arrive in Malaga at midnight, I was really confused, because the only one rental company, as you said so, was SIXT with price almost 600 EUR for 7 days. I decided to go for it, and after while I realized that over there where a lot of rental car places which were available and open even at 2 am. Actually I though, If i'm going to follow your recommendations, and paying approximately two times more, I won't have any problems during my vacations in Spain. Sixt  has charged me for renting car and filling up the gas for an extra day. Two hours before the setted deadline, I gave back the car (office was closed, so according to instructions I threw car keys inside of the box at the parking lot , and I fully filled up gas though) I advertised those costs at Sixt's, I've sent a picture of car and also picture of gas counter from the garage's airport, right before I gave back the car. Sixt does not approve my advertise, I've wrote complaints to head-office, and I never get an answer back. I'm asking for explanation, why are they recommending Sixt?

Have you approached CarRentals.co.uk? Although they are a price comparison site through which you will have found SIXT they may be able to assist. I have used CarRentals.co.uk on several occasions and always found them to be reliable, good on finding the best prices and quick to answer queries. They should be able to take up your case with SIXT and help to resolve your issues. I am sure they would not want to be recommending companies that did not treat customers fairly. At the end of the day though, your hire contract will have been with SIXT, not CarRentals.co.uk, and it is SIXT that will have to own up to any mistakes.

Sixt is usually a normal company, but of course all depends on the local managers. In this case, as you seem to have photo proof that you did everything by the book, you should send a complaint, with all the evidence, to the Sixt Spanish HQ, and if this is not enough, to Sixt Europe, wherever it may be. Also, cc the Spanish consumer protection agency, and see where it brings you.

As I understand correctly, you've rent a car thru your travel agent, not carrentals.co.uk. and your question about SIXT, quite expencive but well known company, which extracharge you? I've just check carrentals.co.uk, and for Malaga you could rent a "premium" or "luxury" car for 1 week for 600EUR. And yes, SIXT is most cheapiest for these categories. I've try dates from 21 till 27 of may and from 2AM till 2AM. If you prefere not to use such a car provider company you could cancel your booking and try another company from menu. Thats about prices. About extracharges: You MUST read a contract, a rules and discuss any possible issues before you pay for a rent... and about your last question: WHO exactley recommend you Sixt?

If as it would appear you arranged your booking through Carrentals.co.uk and then with SixT I would recommend also e mailing customer services at Carrentals with your complaint as it was through their website that you made your booking and they would have received a commission. They should be able to assist with any genuine complaint.

I think that this is not problem of local manager. I sent complaint to Sixt Espana and they answered that photo is not enought. They need extra proof??From SIXT Pullach HQ i haven't receive any respons In my opinion it is tipical situacion when the big player gives to low offert to bussines clients and then try to compensate it in private sector somethimes dishonesly. I will fight with them and inform other potencial clients about results

I had a similar problem with Europcar in Spain. Sixt seems to be a good company, but local management is not always at the same standard. I would insist with SIXT and carRentals at the same time. Good luck.
