We rented an EV but on arrival they did not have any EVs charged. The replacement vehicle was nice but smelled significantly of smoke and we did not have time to return to attempt to get another vehicle.

We’ve rented a lot of cars while traveling and this was easily the most stressful and strange experience. We paid for a premium luxury SUV and they brought out the dirtiest, oldest rental car we’ve ever seen. 81K miles on the clock and showed every one of them. They then tried to put us in a small sedan - there are four of us and we had four suitcases … So they said we could take a Ford Explorer. We said that was fine but we’d like the difference in cost refunded as it would have been $100 cheaper to rent that one. They said they couldn’t do that. Finally, they found us a premium luxury SUV that was (mostly) clean. Just a really bizarre experience and they kept saying there was nothing they could do, until we said we’d like to cancel and we’d walk down to another rental company. What should have taken 15 minutes ended up being an hour and a half. Totally put us off ever renting from Budget again.

There were coffee spills and a small bag of trash in the car. It was obvious they relied on the previous renters to do the cleaning. It seems like the staff didn't check the car before my use. The car was fine, the gas was full and there was no damage to the vehicle, but it could have been cleaned better and it also had the scent of cigarettes.

Line to pickup was a disaster. For awhile no one was even at the counter despite a line of 20+. System to get cars was very inefficient so each person getting their car took way longer than it should. Do not blame the counter representatives who did the best they could, but everything was poorly organized and poorly run.

Please let people know about after-hours drop-off location. I didn't know I would be dropping off after hours and didn't realize that it was at a different location. Then the email they said to use to tell them I dropped off the car didn't work. I called to let them know. The rep said she would confirm but never did.

Just an awful experience. I had prepaid for my rental at Hertz a month in advance. I was using the car to go out of state for a vacation. When I went to pick up my rental, I was told there was no car available. Then...I was made to call the 800 number to get a refund!! The rental agent at the Wood St. hertz location are beyond rude!! They offered me no help at all!! I ended up getting a rental through Enterprise. Hertz has lost me as a customer!!!

Sixt is absolutely the worst car rental in US. They will look for anything to add up charges. Dishonest and predatory. Do NOT recommend to anyone. Something to note, cars are smaller compared to other rental companies for the same class.

I will never rent cars from Sixt again. Ever. In selected the wrong date for a rental and promptly canceled the reservation one week before the rental date. Sixt forced me to pay $100 to cancel. This is grossly unfair and a predatory business practice.
