I was very happy with the service and the rental car was perfect. I'd recommend renting with Sixt and I will be sure to do so again for my next travels.

my deposit I have not received yet, she sage a week after I handed over the car. i had to give the car back because i had to pay a lot extra for klm. Max 3000 klm you can drive for 30 days. Turkey is a big country, so there is 1000 klm for a beautiful place (he who clean the car was the best employee). read carefully what comes as a surprise. Germany sixt and Turkey sixt are not the same. you order a diesel car but get a petrol (sixt was a good company but has become the same as them…
Delay when picking up informed me no basic insurance which make me pay for it over all not welcoming experience

I have rented two times from budget vehicles with child seats. Both times the seats were not at par - I.e seat belt or height or angle adjustments
Brilliant experience! This involved a smooth admin / documentation process at the arrivals window; outstanding attendant that prepared and loaded the car with baggage; provided water and information to assist with the transition; an clean car that was up to standard; a simple drop-off process at the airport; and finally a quick refund of the deposit. Only drama was that the booking description of the vehicle on Momondo (estate intermediate wagon) did not match the records at Enterprise. I suspect this is an issue from Momondo's end. Also, very little information on terms and conditions on Momondo website regarding deposit, excess amount, rental conditions etc. This should be much more clear. Although Momondo refers to read the terms and conditions - there are none to be found throughout the process. This should be rectified as I thought I was taking a risk at the time of booking and left it to chance. Finally, the car was not available at the Enterprise office and I was provided with a genuine upgrade. Thank you Enterprise for the exceptional experience.
