The car was clean and had plenty of bells and whistles. The process was fast and simple.

Because of COVID, I was hoping for plates from New England. There was exactly one car available at my reserved price point and it had New York plates. There were plenty of cars if I cared to move up to the next level. This seemed planned.

Ok so the Drop Off was Excellent, we were delayed by traffic and were offered a lift direct to the terminal from your very friendly and helpful team, which really saved the day. we could not be more grateful for that Pick up the team were also great, and really helpful in getting us a car seat for our child, and we felt very looked after... however we did have to queue for over an hour, (with a six year old after a 9hr flight...) in a building with no coffee or entertainment available at all. The man on the desk, (also really helpful and nice) said that this queue wasn't unusual, and that it was 'always like this'. none of the other car hire firms had anything like this long a queue. a couple of extra desk agents could have sorted it out i'm sure.

This is a satellite location unfortunately our vehicle was not available on day of pickup. The staff there was extremely difficult to deal with over the phone so we decided to drive to the location and speak in person. We were notified as we pulled into the parking lot that our vehicle was available for us so we had to wait 20 minutes for it to be ready. We received our vehicle dirty inside and outside. So filthy we had to detail the vehicle ourselves after already being delayed by an hour. The filthy condition of the vehicle was and is unacceptable, unhygienic, and disgraceful the management of this location needs to do better in all areas from customer service to serving their customers with a spirit of excellence! It’s important how you treat people.

I was given a car that had 3/8 gas and smelled heavily like smoke. It smelled like someone had been smoking in there for years. As soon as I received the car and sat inside, I could not tolerate the smell. I went back inside and asked for alternative vehicle as this one was intolerable. I was told that there were no other vehicles in the entire lot that I could switch to. There were probably 50-100 cars there so this was a lie especially since I paid for a mid-sized SUV. Then I asked why the gas tank was 3/8 full only and she said she’s working alone and doesn’t have time to do all the work. I then set off with the nasty smoke filled car. The drive was so unbearable for myself and my children that we stopped at another Budget when we reached our destination the next morning to try and return the car a day early. We were given the run around and told that if we do this, we would be charged an early termination fee. For it make any sense to be charged more to return a car a day and a half early??. We therefore kept the car and returned it as planned to the TTN airport as scheduled. We told them about the car smell and they said nothing, did nothing, and frankly were then most unprofessional agents at any car rental facility I’ve ever been to. Several of us customers were waiting for the Budget shuttle to transport us back to the airport from the rental return. We were made to wait over 30min even after several of us asked how long it would be they would keep telling us in two minutes. There were 3 agents and barely any customers or phone calls, yet they sat there and just chit chatted instead of caring for the customers. Worst car rental experience ever. I doubt I would use Budget again.

I made a rsvp for 11am but when arrived at 1050am there was a wait of 2 guests in front of me and a single clerk who informed me that they had no cars to rent. He said they are working to get cars but it will take about 20 min. I asked one of the guests who was there before me how long they have been waiting, and they said over an hour. Since i had luggage with me and more customers continued to arrive for vehicles that weren’t there, there was no room for me to stay in the lobby, so i waited outside where it drizzled rain on me and my belongings the entire time. After an hour of waiting I was called in to finalize the rental. I told the clerk that I was expected in NYC at a certain time and now will be late since I am over an hour past schedule, and asked if he can do anything to make up for the delay. He said he will be discounting the rental due to the issues but didn’t give me any discount. I told him I needed to add a driver, when he said he will give me the additional driver at no charge … a $16 savings. If I hadn’t had the additional driver I do not think a discount would’ve been given. I then had to wait an additional 20 min for them to “check on the car”. The car had several large scratches, all tire rims were badly dented, and the trunk couldn’t open with the key fob. This experience was not a good one and after the long wait in the rain, I was over 1.5 hours late departing Boston. I will think twice before using Hertz again.

They claimed they did not have the size SUV we reserved available, yet there were a number of them sitting under "reserved" signs across the lot. They tried to give us a significantly smaller SUV saying that was all they had. In addition, the staff were rude and unhelpful. Three customer service people sat at their desks with no line at the lot while a line 20 people deep was upstairs. When I asked the "customer service" desk at the lot to add my Hertz gold info to my rental, they said I had to wait in line upstairs. This is not the first rude and unhelpful episode I've had at the Boston Hertz site. They made no effort to remedy the situation to find an SUV near the size of the Yukon we reserved. We left and had a great customer service experience at Dollar instead. This Hertz location consistently offers an appalling customer service experience.

The pick up was painful. It took 30 minutes of them trying to sell me extra stuff that I didn't need. The app didn't work so I was forced to talk with an agent to pick the car up. Someone smoked weed in the car so I had to go to Walmart and buy a de-odor sprayer to help. The car was clean and in perfect condition other than the smoke. Drop off was very smooth.

We specifically indicated we wanted a gas car. I didn’t know it was an e-car. I’ve never been in one until the next day when my son arrived and told me. We were on such a tight schedule to return the car and charging to get an almost full charge took 1 hour and 15 minutes. I NEVER would have rented that car had I known. Now we will probably be charged an absurd amount of money for a not full charge. Frustrating!!!!

It was my first time renting from Sixt, and was hesitant since I never heard of them. I'm a past Zipper (zipcar) and unsubscribe due to high price. Discovered this brand when the other brands were out and/or low on cars due to pandemic. I was extremely pleased with the customer service at the registration/pick-up desk, and the cleanliness of the work. Honestly, it smelled like a fresh-out-of-the-lot car and superbly clean! The major feedback would be - HAVE A CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE & EMAIL. I had a question and couldn't find any phone number or email on your website. That's completely unacceptable in this day and age.

The staff at Sixt in Boston were aggressive at trying to upsell me. First they claimed that the car wouldn’t fit my family and our luggage and tried to get me to rent a bigger car for $75 per day extra. Then they claimed it would be $14 a day just to add my husband as a driver. They also were unclear about whether or not I would need a transponder but scared me about fines. I felt like I was dealing with con artists trying to squeeze every extra dollar out of me.
