Based on 285 reviews analysed · Last updated · How scores work

The short version

Based on about 195 written Google reviews after exclusions (plus about 90 star-only ratings), this in-terminal Sixt desk is rated very positively for quick, easy pick-up and return and mostly clean cars. A minority of reviews since June 2026 report extra charges when the booked category was unavailable, faulty or poor-condition cars, and disputed post-rental charges, and deposit refunds can take 5 to 9 days. Web evidence is mostly undated and mixed, so it adds little certainty.

What travellers flag

Red flags (4)

  • Three reviews between June and October 2026 say the booked car category was unavailable and the desk asked for an extra payment of about €90 to €144 per rental or per day to get a replacement. One reviewer says this was explained only after the paperwork was done.
  • Around six reviews since June 2026 report poor, faulty or unsafe-feeling cars, including repeated replacements, a breakdown with a slow swap, worn tyres and underpowered models. Cars were often replaced, but not always quickly.
  • Several recent reviews report post-rental or disputed charges: a deposit kept after an insurance claim, an unexpected small fuel top-up invoice, an unexplained card debit later refunded, and a fuel policy that was wrongly described at the desk.
  • Several reviews, including some positive ones, say the desk offers upgrades or extras at every pick-up, and some describe it as pressure that cost them extra money.

Green flags (5)

  • Pick-up and return are usually described as quick and easy, often about 10 minutes at pick-up and a few minutes at return, with little or no queue. This is mentioned in a large share of the written reviews.
  • The desk is in the arrivals hall and the cars are in the car park just outside, so no shuttle is needed. Reviews and Sixt's own pages agree.sixt.co.uksixt.com
  • Around nine reviews received the booked car or a similar or larger one, often a hybrid, without extra fees, and some report free upgrades.
  • Several reviews report the deposit released promptly or within days, existing damage documented at pick-up and clear rules on scratches. A Trustpilot review from 2025 also describes a fair damage charge and an immediate deposit return.uk.trustpilot.com
  • Several reviews say a car with a fault, a smell or a flat battery was replaced quickly, within minutes to about 15 minutes in the best cases.
