Sixt Ride Service is excellent at the core of drivers and cars. But if you need assistance it’s far from good. It might even happen that call center agents call you at 4am to discuss the upcoming trip... See more

Excellent experience

Driver met us at the arrival exit and was friendly and engaging right off the start. The car was clean and spacious. The bottle of water was much appreciated after a long flight. It was a pleasant experience all around and would recommend this service to everyone.

Trip in time / tracking not available

I have ordered Sixt Ride to transfer my daughter to her school in UK. However, the pick-up and ride itself worked well. important to me - the tracker did not work at all or somehow only once I called the driver to send a status picture. This is unacceptable and is far away from the service Sixt ride claims to offer.

So good! Will do it again!

Super easy to book, super easy to follow where the driver arrived, super comfortable car and in the app there was an estimated arrival time that worked perfectly

I had already arrived at my destination…

I had already arrived at my destination hotel, yet the app/system continued to run the waiting timer and charged me an additional waiting fee.
Please see the attached screenshot as definitive proof of a system/account error:
At 00:41 AM, the app was still actively running the waiting timer. However, by 00:43 AM, I had already arrived at my destination hotel.

Since I had already reached my destination, the trip should have been ended, and there is absolutely no reason for the system to continue charging a waiting fee. This is a clear billing error caused by the driver failing to end the trip correctly.

Additionally, I must raise a serious safety and compliance concern: the actual driver and vehicle did not match the booking details. The driver's friend picked me up in a BMW.

My driver was there waiting for me

My driver was there waiting for me, spoke perfect English and was delightful to chat with on our drive into town. It was great to be able to just get off the plane and be whisked to my hotel.

Satisfactory Business Rides to and from Caring Hotel

We booked two business rides between London Gatwick Airport and the Caring Hotel, as well as the return journey. The outbound ride went very satisfactorily: our driver, Mr. Sethuraghunathan Jeganathan, was punctual and extremely friendly. We are looking forward to the return ride.

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.
