So while in France we thought it'd be nice to be able to carry us and some of the in-laws all in…read moreone car. So we reserved what the French consider an enormous car, a seven passenger van. We land in the freezing rain and I hustle out to get the car. A stick!! This is one of the richer nations of the world. It's also a nation where rain, and snow and ice are common. And this is a van! About the homeliest vehicle on the planet. But we're in France and I guess even homely drivin', slippin', slidin' renters want to shift their own gears. OK I can use the practice. We head out of our first long trek and it's time for gas. Hmmm. Nothing on the fuel gauge, nothing on the key fob, nothing on either side of the fuel door, no gas cap at all, no insignia on the rear that means anything. Guess it's unleaded. Wrong guess. An hour down the road we stop to pee and the car won't start. It's freezing cold, the wind is blowing and it's an hour before dark. Tow truck guy confirms nonchalantly, "It's Diesel". Wonderful! Now it's a tow truck to his shop, half a dozen frantic calls to the rental agency, nearby hotels, train stations and taxis. Then a taxi ride to the hotel, a quick night's sleep, inconvenience my nephew for a 45 minute drive the wrong direction to pick up a replacement car to drive another 4 hours to our original destination. We got it figured out and Sixt got us a new car but it would have saved them damage to their vehicle and would have saved us an extraordinary amount of time and aggravation if they had just put a "Diesel" sticker on the car.

NEVER RENT FROM SIXT!!!!!!!…read more I was on holiday in Marseille when I missed my train to Paris for my flight the next morning.. without any other option I rented a vehicle from SIXT and drove 7hrs to avoid the hassle of rescheduling flights. I drove extremely safe, with no incident, no issues with the vehicle throughout the entire experience. A few weeks later once I was back home in California I received an email stating that they would be charging my card an additional 650 EUR (which was around the same price as the total rental fee) for alleged damages. I've tried to call countless times and they either don't pick up, or put me on hold until I'm forced to hang up. I took pictures of the car before and after- zero damages! I've requested a damages report so I can even understand what I'm being charged for and they ignore all communications. Zero report, no evidence provided, just an invoice. The whole thing seems very exploitive and deceitful.. very frustrated and will absolutely never give them my business again. I highly recommend using any other travel agency!! 0/10 stars. Absolutely terrible.

If you are a fan of the Citroen do not waste your time and money in traveling to the Conservatoire…read moreCitroen Musee in Aulnay-sous-Bois. Even though we had confirmed written reservations by the company we arrived to locked doors and dark lights. We wasted our taxi fares and half a day. The public relations person takes about 3 weeks to get back to your emails too in making reservations.
