Car rental in France question
 
Has anyone rented a car through the agency Sixt? Here is their website: http://www.sixtusa.com/

Thanks -
Jenny

No, but Sixt is a long established and reputable firm.

Check their prices for your dates then do the same with
economycarrentals.com and autoeurope.com. I have used both recently with excellent
prices and service. They may
offer a lower price than Sixt.

In Nice last month the car they tried to give me was an SUV Fiat thing that would not have had suitable luggage space. I had the agency in question, Europcar,
call AutoEurope in Maine and although it was 3 in the morning in the US she got a French speaking representative on the line and he had the problem solved for me in 5 minutes... at an extra cost of only 13 dollars on top of what I'd already paid. The Europcar desk was insisting it would cost an extra 500 euros!

So I have nothing but the highest regard for AutoEurope and especially Wade, the man on the phone!

Anyone else have an experience w/ Sixt? Just checking before we confirm the reservation.

Thanks!

Jenny: Sixt is one of the largest and oldest rental agencies in Europe. You won't have any problems (that is sort of like asking if anyone has rented from Avis or Budget or Hertz in the States.)

I have rented a dozen times from Sixt. It is a German car rental company and the market leader in many European countries. Twice, they upgraded my to a Mercedes E class when I had reserved a compact car.

Very professional. In every sense, comparable to Hertz, Avis etc.
