Excellent!

I was very pleased with my car rental experience at DUB airport recently. I booked a cheap runaround for a week long family visit and was assigned a new Polo - very clean and in excellent condition. The staff at the counter advised (but do not pressure) on increasing my insurance coverage and were courteous and professional. The return was simple, efficient and hassle-free. Highly recommend!

Car hire with Sixt Car Hire.

On my arrival into Cork airport I went straight to the Sixt Car Hire desk.
I was greeted with a lovely welcome, went through my booking in detail and nothing was left to chance.
Before I left the desk I got the impression my booking was very much appreciated.
My car was excellent and new (2025)
My total experience was excellent and the next time I'm in Ireland I shall without doubt be using Sixt Car Hire & I can strongly recommend this company for trouble free car hire.

I hired a car for 3 days from SIXT in Cork airport. Great friendly service, clear instructions, drop off easy to find and courteous staff both on pick up and drop off. If you return the car as you find it, (fill it up before you drop it off) there isn't an issue. Good price although it wasn't peak season. Recommend this company. To SIXT don't change a thing.

Do not rent from sixt

Do not rent from sixt. I was given a damaged car and then charged for “cleaning” despite returning the car in the same condition as it was delivered. The drop off process is a joke with no one even checking the car so they can then spring bs charges on you later. They were inflexible during entire appeal process. I will never rent from sixt again.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

I would not use SIXT if they were the last company on earth. I paid for a luxury van but what I got was a van falling apart with damage on every panel, trim falling off, and non working electronics. When I picked up the van the tank was half full. I filled it up and make several calls but no one would get back to me. It has taken me 3 months and an escalation to HQ in Germany to get a partial petrol/gas refund even though they admitted they knew about it. No refund for the van. Absolute shambles of a company

A fantastic service from start to finish

A fantastic service from start to finish.
The desk is located in a perfect spot, right outside the arrivals gate. The person who handled our booking at the desk was great. Lovely, friendly, happy, helpful and very efficient.

The car was close by and what I ordered. Returning was easy and seamless. I will certaily be using Sixt again when I am next in Shannon.

Just the best

The second time I have used Sixt and I'll be back again. From the online booking through to the welcome and service at the desk, this team are the best. The car was in immaculate condition and the return process was seamless. As I say, they will always be my first choice when travelling to Dublin

Really bad don't use....shafted so badly

Absolutely shafted! I paid for an in terminal pick up. Currently waiting for a bus in freezing cold beside road works. Shafted on insurance 180 Thurs to Sat. Don't use. So upset and have a 3 hour drive ahead of me. They say in terminal as Dublin airport own the car park that's a bus ride away. FALSE Advertising. Worst ever experience.

Absolutely the best car rental…

Absolutely the best car rental experience possible! My second time in Cork, Ireland and my 2nd time renting a car there from Sixt. And again the Sixt car rental company agent was so helpful, patient and informative. Made the entire care rental experience a joy and I hope to travel to Cork city again in 2026. So many castles, museums and parks to explore.
