Wrong vehicle turned up.

We booked through booking.com for 4 cases &4 passengers so booked and prepaid for a people carrier. A driver turned up 30 minutes late in a Tesla and said he was told 1 passenger. I showed him my confirmation, he rang his taxi office, they said they haven’t got anything at the moment. The driver was so bizarre, I was talking to him about how we could rectify the situation by taking 2 of us and send another car for our other half of the party. We were talking to him and he just didn’t answer us it was very weird. We eventually got him to open his boot and put 2 of our cases in and asked if he could go back for our friends, he didn’t answer me at all. When we got to the airport he tried to make me pay as he said he had canceled this booking. The whole experience was as I said very bizarre and made us in all 1 hour late for our journey, very fustrating as it’s only an 8 minute journey.

Dear Mr. Berry,

Thank you very much for your feedback.

We are very sorry to hear that the driver arrived with the wrong vehicle. As you rightly expect, the vehicle type should always match the booked ride details, regardless of how many passengers will be using the service.

To investigate this matter in depth, we would kindly request that you send us an email to ride@sixt.com with your booking details so that we may provide a resolution.

We look forward to hearing from you soon and hope to have you on board again soon.

Kind regards,
Your Sixt ride Team

Airport Transfer for big family

We booked an airport transport to and from Frankfurt airport for a private holiday with 6 people and a lot of luggage! Everything worked perfectly - the driver arrived ahead of time, the car was big enough in good shape and clean, the driver was very helpfull and friendly. The costs were lower than a normal taxi for a car like that. We will use Sixt Ride next time again.

According to the SIXT ride app

According to the SIXT ride app, a specific car and driver were assigned to my booking. I spoke with the driver prior to pickup, and he told me he was already arriving. However, when the car arrived, there were already other people sitting inside it. Instead of providing the service, he handed me over to a completely different, unknown driver operating a car that was never listed in the app.
​The vehicle was beat-up and shabby — the kind of car more suited for ferrying factory workers to a plant, certainly not a "premium service" as the company positions itself.
​To top it off, customer support has been ignoring my complaints for nearly a month, only sending automated form letters. Completely disappointing experience.

Dear Mr. Snezhkov,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

We completely understand your frustration and concern. What you've described falls well below the standard we hold ourselves to. The driver and vehicle assigned to carry out the booking should always be the one performing the ride.

We would also like to apologize for any delay you experienced in customer support. Processing times are somewhat delayed at the moment. We are happy to have confirmed with you via email that we have refunded your booking in full for the issues you experienced.

The unauthorized driver and vehicle substitution will be looked into to ensure it does not happen again.

We hope to have you on board again in the future so that we may provide you with a level of service you rightly expect.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us again.

Kind regards,
Your Sixt ride Team

Booking with Flight Number (🫩)

The feature on keying in arrival flight number is useless. It automatically tagged the pick-up time exactly with the actual landing time - giving you a 45 mins window to clear immigration and customs. This is near impossible task in major German airports for non-EU passengers. It just happened to me yesterday in Hamburg airport (I took 1:30hrs to exit the airport despite landing 15 mins earlier).
When the assigned driver has other commitments, the service call center will contact you without any alternatives.
Please take note and key your preferred timing instead of keying in your flight number.

Dear MH Loh,

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you experienced issues with your pickups in Germany.

Please know that when a flight number is connected to an airport pickup, the starting time of the ride will be adjusted to the actual landing time of the flight. This is so that even if the flight is early or delayed, the pickup time will not begin until after the flight lands. In addition, to give yourself more time to clear immigration or retrieve checked-in luggage, you may select a buffer time from 15 to 120 minutes after the arrival time of the plane. For example, if your flight lands at 3:00 PM and you select a 1 hour 30 minute buffer, your driver will be waiting at 4:30 PM. If the flight is delayed by 20 minutes, the pickup moves to 4:50 PM. And as all airport pickups include 60 minutes of free waiting time, your pickup window will be from 4:50 PM to 5:50 PM.

Thank you for your understanding and if you have any further questions on this or any other matter, please do not hesitate to reach out to our Reservations department at ride@sixt.com.

Kind regards,
Your SIXT ride Team

They Show and charge different prices.
Be careful, we used it in Shanghai for airport Transfer and it was 29$ and we also received the confirmation Email with confirming the 29$. But After the ride they charged us 41$. We dont know why and we cannot reach anyone from sixt.
And apart from this what was also negative:

Dear Mr. Ko,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear your experience in Shanghai did not meet expectations.

Regarding the price difference, a charge higher than the original quote can occur when additional waiting time or extra kilometers are added to the ride. We'd advise checking your invoice which will detail the reason for any extra charges.

We'd like to look into your specific case. Please reach out to us at ride@sixt.com with your booking number and we will investigate the fare difference and your concerns about collecting points and the driver chat function.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind regards,
Your SIXT ride Team

I have been using Sixt rides for seven…

I have been using Sixt rides for seven years whenever I travel in Europe. The pool of drivers they use are always professional and the cars are always clean. I mostly use the service for pick-up from and drop-off at airports and train stations, which are very time sensitive. The drivers always show up on-time and speak English. I could not ask for better service.

More then standard

Pick up was really nice. The driver was 30 min too early here but we left on the selected time. The driver picked up the bags for us and did put them in the trunk.

The car was very clean and the driver was very calm and the drive had a very nice speed of 120kmh over the autobahn to the airport.

He even knew a way at the airport to cut the drive down by 10 minute and then delivered us at the exact door at the airport where our air plane provider is.

We had a great day in Doha

We had a great day in Doha. With a 12 hr layover, we used SIXT to drive us around the city for 9 hours. It was perfect! We got to see so many things in a short period of time. Our driver was excellent- he was a great driver and very kind. We highly recommend this service.

Do not book at Istanbul airport (SAW)

Do not book at Istanbul airport (SAW). Nobody waited after arrival. You are directed to a house outside of the airport and they let you wait 30 minutes for transfer. Then driver tells you to lie to the police about why you sit in the car. Very strange and not reliable

Dear K G,

Thank you for your review.

We are deeply sorry to hear about your experience — this is not the level of service we provide or accept. And what you have described, particularly being asked to mislead authorities, is something we take extremely seriously.

We would like to investigate this with the local service provider directly. Please reach out to us at ride@sixt.com with your booking details so we can look into this as a priority.

Kind regards,
Your Sixt ride Team

Much too expensive compared to Grab or Uber, even with Amex Voucher. Many times extra wait times were billed without reason. Was sorted out later, but annoying.

Dear Alex,

thank you for your feedback.

While our pricing may be slightly higher than Uber for your desired journey, there's an important distinction: every driver on our platform is professionally licensed, thoroughly trained, and fully insured, ensuring your complete peace of mind.

We do offer on-demand and taxi services on our platform as well, which are comparable to Uber in pricing and service type.
For an elevated experience, you're also welcome to book in our Business or First class segments, where you'll be matched with luxury vehicles and professionally dressed drivers in suits and ties.

We are sorry to hear that incorrect waiting time charges were applied on any of your bookings. Please feel free to reach out to us at ride@sixt.com and we can look into the issue thoroughly.

We look forward to having you on board again soon.

Best regards,
Your Sixt ride Team
