Customer Review for Sixt Car Rental in Porto and Faro: My experience with Sixt has been nothing short of a nightmare. They charged me for damage to the "bumper spoiler" that was clearly there before I rented the vehicle. Although the "bumper grill" damage was noted in the rental agreement (see picture), they now claim the spoiler was separately damaged -- an absurd distinction that anyone without technical knowledge wouldn't notice. Even more outrageous is that I was never informed of the damage cost, yet Sixt tried to charge my credit card twice without any prior notification! This is completely unacceptable and feels like fraud. Be warned: Sixt seems to have no problem attempting to take money from customers for pre-existing damage.

Unbelievable, I read the reviews of them faking damage to make money when you return a car here but didn't believe it. Turns out it's true. I returned my car two days ago and it had NO NEW DAMAGE, the guy looked at the car and told me all was good. My original car rental amount was charged. Now, two days later, I received an email that new damage was reported to the car I rented. It's a complete scam and I have pictures and will fully fight them with my credit card and in court if I have to! STAY AWAY!

I recently rented a car through Sixt, and the pick-up process was seamless. The staff made everything so easy, from guiding me through the paperwork to clearly explaining the key features of the vehicle. Even though it was a standard vehicle, they ensured I was comfortable with all the controls before I drove off.

Had a terrible experience with Sixt rent a car. My friend and I rented two vehicles from Lisbon and drove up the coast to Porto. Upon returning the vehicles in Porto at this location, an employee brought a scratch to our attention on my friend's vehicle. A scratch that he for sure did not put there, but was also not in their records (the scratch was so small that we didn't even notice it upon pickup). They sent the scratch to their damages department and he was charged over $300 for damages that he never put on the vehicle. We also both put roughtly $300 as a deposit on the vehicles, which we were told were suppossed to cover any toll fees. After being returned some of our deposit back, we were charged another $27 for tolls that they said they missed. I am never renting from this company again after this experience.

Very bad rental experience. The car itself was great but the service was not. I rented a car in Lisbon, returned in Porto. Upon car return I was informed that one of the damages I have inspected with a Sixt employee upon pickup (the biggest) was not registered in the system. After two months of complaints and waiting for the decision from the car damage department I was informed again that I am to be charged for the damage, which I saw upon pickup. Lose of money and nerves. The car damage department did nothing to try to establish the source of the damage and have not tried to go the documents itself. The staff at Porto was quite professional, but in a way to calm you down on the spot - not to try to resolve anything. They said they cannot call Sixt Lisbon, they cannot show me which damages are in the system cause "it is internal information". Looks like it's a bunch of separate local agents not a serious company that wants to care for their clients. It was my second time using Sixt and my last one. And a very expensive lesson learned.

We rented a car for one day to go to the Douro valley. We picked up at the city office and returned the same day at the airport. Upon return everything was fine, we got a clean report. But after three days, they charged us 40 euro and 300 euro at our credit card. No communication, no explanation.

Great experience! Unfortunately I forgot her name, but a pretty dark skinned girl helped us at the desk, she gave us all needed information and was extremely friendly. Also Pedro who gave us the car was great! Besides the great staff members the car was amazing and very fairly priced. Will definitely come back here again.

Let me start by highlighting that I make a point of not writing bad reviews. Check my profile, all either positive or raving. I have always felt sure the best thing to do with a complaint is take it direct and give chances to rectify. I used this sixt office for three years, I don t own a car it doesn t make sense in Porto so you can imagine many rentals and much money has been spent. Mostly it s been good, if at the higher end of the market, which I ve been willing to pay for reliability. I ve in fact left a bunch of their office agents positive reviews on Google at their request because I guess they have incentives on this stuff. Yesterday my partner rented a car with a newborn baby car seat to bring our newborn from the hospital and triple checked at the office it was the correct one. The car rental is literally just for this purpose. After 5 days in hospital, Lo and behold, we cannot leave. When we removed the car seat from the packaging they provide it in, it was missing a piece to bolster for new borns. I tried to contact them and was held at a central office with no hope of speaking to the Porto city centre office agents. The central res office said essentially it was not their problem because sixt uses a third party agency for the car seats they provide. When I highlighted we had a contract with sixt and they had a contract with the third party and thus this was indeed their problem to rectify, the agent simply insisted I had to go through the email complaint procedure to contact the relevant office (for a car rental due to return tomorrow) and then hung up on me. Had a reservation booked with them over Christmas which I ll be cancelling and would say that the sheer level of zero Fs given in this situation when I ve treated their team with so much respect and loyalty in the past is pretty immoral.

After confirming the booking to be notified but more than 24h a change to a different class of car and more expansive (>50%), not ensuring the same price is not acceptable!

Words fail me in the face of such a lack of professionalism and empathy on the part of the person who received us. I had reserved a van for 2/10 from 9:30 a.m., until the same time the next morning, with 2 child seats. Arriving on site at 9:35 a.m., I was asked to wait 5 minutes for the vehicle to be ready. Why not, it can happen. I had to re-request the car seats (this was stipulated in my reservation which I had already paid for online). Except that the 5 minutes turned into 1h30. The gentleman who did not take responsibility preferred to hide in the garage at the back of the agency. No explanation, no communication. On the other hand, he knew very well how to ask for the imprint of the card for the 500 deposit. When he finally asks us to go to the garage behind the agency, to look for the vehicle, surprise, the vehicle is not there. In fact, the vehicle was at another agency and not yet on site. So wait another 15 minutes. When the vehicle arrived, no car seat... We had to ask for them (again). Departure from the agency: 11:15 a.m., instead of 9:30 a.m. (come on, 10 a.m. since I arrived a little late). As a result, the program I had planned for the day fell through. Too bad, it was our last day in Portugal. It would be good for this agency to ensure that the vehicles are ready for the arrival of the person who made the reservation and who has already paid. No reduction offered, no commercial gesture. Flee this agency.

Les mots me manquent face a un tel manque de professionnalisme et dempathie de la part de la personne qui nous a recu. Javais reserve un van pour le 2/10 a partir de 9h30, jusquau lendemain matin meme heure, avec 2 sieges enfant. Arrive sur place a 9h35, on me demande dattendre 5 minutes que le vehicule soit pret. Pourquoi pas, ca peut arriver. Jai ete oblige de redemander les sieges auto (cetait stipule dans ma reservation que javais deja payee en ligne). Sauf que, les 5 minutes se sont transformees en 1h30. Le monsieur qui nassumait pas, a prefere aller se cacher dans le garage a larriere de lagence. Aucune explication, aucune communication. Il a par contre tres bien su demander lempreinte de la carte pour les 500 de caution. Lorsquil nous demande enfin daller dans le garage derriere lagence, pour chercher le vehicule, surprise, le vehicule nest pas la. En fait, le vehicule etait dans une autre agence et pas encore sur place. Donc attente encore de 15 minutes. A larrivee du vehicule, pas de siege auto.. Il a fallu les demander (encore). Depart de lagence : 11h15, au lieu de 9h30(allez, 10h vu que je suis arrive avec un peu de retard). Resultat, le programme que javais prevu sur la journee est tombe a leau. Dommage, cetait notre dernier jour au Portugal. Il serait bien que cette agence fasse en sorte que les vehicules soient prets a larrivee de la personne qui en a fait la reservation et qui a deja paye. Aucune reduction proposee, pas de geste commercial. Fuyez cette agence.

I booked a 7-seater Dacia Jogger from Sixt for a day trip, but five hours after reserving, I was informed it was unavailable. They offered a 9-seater Mercedes Vito instead, which seemed to cost only slightly more. However, when I arrived to pick it up, the agent insisted I hadn t selected any insurance despite my initial choice of a protection package. They claimed the Vito was significantly more expensive without insurance, and after long discussions, they found a 7-seater Peugeot but insisted I take an overpriced insurance package for it. I ended up paying for the 9-seater, since both options would cost roughly the same after additional fees. When I asked about an airport return, the employee said it was possible but failed to mention an extra 10 fee, which I only found out about after emailing the reservations team. The lack of transparency was compounded by an email error: the agent had entered my name incorrectly, meaning I didn t receive any of the contract terms in advance. In summary, Sixt provided unreliable availability information, pushed upselling tactics, and withheld key information, leading to unexpected charges and frustration.

I mistakenly went to pick up the vehicle at the stand in Portos industrial zone and they took me to the counter on Av da Boavista after offering me water. I picked up the car on Av da Boavista with quick and friendly service, all the information necessary for driving. I recommend Sixt.
