3/3/24

Pros: The man at the desk
Australia
Mitsubishi ASX
2/14/24

Pros: Everything! Excellent customer service and our hire car was amazing!
Australia
Suzuki Swift
1/22/24

Cons: I didn't appreciate that I had to wait at the airport four hours as you would not let me drop it off at 8:30 and my flight was at 11:30, I will never use this car company again
Australia
Nissan X-Trail
1/8/24

Pros: Efficient, pleasant and helpful staff

Cons: "Slow leak" in tyre had to be replaced with a new vehicle requiring another trip to the Hobart Airport. Replacement vehicle also had a slow leak requiring regular checking and re-inflation. However, thankful that the Kia Sportage had a feature warning of the deflation.
Italy
Suzuki Swift
1/5/24

Cons: No compact car available
Australia
Mitsubishi ASX
8/31/23

Pros: Good

Cons: The GPS was nuts.
Australia
Hyundai i30
2/26/23

Pros: We did receive an upgrade for the same price, so that was good .
Australia
Kia Carnival
1/20/23

Pros: Not much really

Cons: the car we ordered was not available and we were given a smaller car which was not appropriate for our holiday
New Zealand
Mitsubishi ASX
1/17/23

Pros: The assistant who replaced our vehicle was helpful and at no stage questioned the inappropriateness of the car we were initially suppled with.

Cons: Thrifty told us they did not have the car we had booked and paid for in August available and instead substituted our booked 5 seater SUV with luggage with a Suzuki Jimny (4 seats at a pinch but then no luggage space)saying it was the only car available - Totally unsatisfactory and after 3 days use in Hobart we knew we would not be able to complete our journey around Tasmania in this uncomfortable unsafe feeling car with inadequate seating. We returned it to the airport and fortunately they were
Australia
Nissan X-Trail
1/16/23

Pros: Service was quick and seamless

Cons: NA
New Zealand
Mitsubishi ASX
1/15/23

Pros: Fast and efficent

Cons: Sold fuel but not told that the car had a small fuel tank they did not take fuel for the value of the fuel sold to us.
Australia
Nissan X-Trail
1/15/23

Pros: Great service by supervisor but not so much by other agents who were very limited to make changes or help resolve issues for customers.

Cons: Had major issues with Discovers / Thrifty coordination, lots of duplication yet very inflexible system for any changes needed. Definitely won’t use again for this reason as need flexibility for when travel plans unexpectedly change.
Australia
Nissan X-Trail
1/13/23

Pros: There is not much to recommend. It was located in the airport, so I guess that's a plus? (Ctd from issues: a packet of Pocky, travel brochures and a child's travel game.)

Cons: Where to begin? We waited for over an hour while the vehicle was collected from the depot, despite arriving at the desk 10 minutes after our scheduled plane arrival time. Once we finally got the vehicle, while putting our childrens' seats in we discovered empty takeaway food containers, an empty soft drink bottle and a chocolate bar wrapper. After delivering these to the service desk we were told simply to email customer support. After we set off, we also found receipts and hotel check-in stubs,
New Zealand
Subaru Forester
1/9/23

Pros: Efficient. Vehicle upgraded at no extra cost. Was able to extend rental period by 1 day at reasonable cost

Cons: Rentals in Tasmania are expensive
Australia
Nissan X-Trail
1/8/23

Pros: Friendly and helpful staff both on pick up and drop off, couldn't have been better.

Cons: Absolutely nothing!
Australia
Mitsubishi ASX
1/8/23

Cons: Shocking service, car was due a service and oil change and I was told there was no other vehicle so I had to ‘deal with it’ because I had insurance incase anything went wrong.
Australia
Mitsubishi ASX
1/3/23

Pros: Quick, efficient. Located inside terminal.

Cons: Young staffer at the counter spent way too much time with customer before me (easily 15 minutes) patiently explaining, answering Qs etc to poor English speakers. I was next but by the time they were done, a long queue was behind me. Some training needed to handle such things, I think.
Australia
Kia Carnival

Pros: Ease of booking.

Cons: n/a
Australia
Nissan X-Trail
1/2/23

Pros: Ease of pick up and drop off.

Cons: Agent trying to "upgrade" us to a car that didn't meet our requirements. Luckily for us we were familiar with the "upgrade" and were in a position to decline and an alternative vehicle was available.
Australia
Hyundai i30
12/7/22

Cons: air conditioner on cold did not work. Insufficient advice re how to put on hand brake, insufficient advice as to operating GPS.
Australia
Toyota Kluger
1/7/22

Pros: The staff in the terminal were excellent upon pick up. He was friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful and would definitely recommend him as he represented your company at SIXT really well.

Cons: The condition of the car was fairly poor. Due to car shortages, we were issued with a car that for the entire duration of the time had an error warning light on (that the company was aware of) placing us in unnecessary danger. The car had many many scratches, was dirty on pick up and we were shocked to be honest at what was charged for the quality that we received of a Kia which was flagged on hire a toyota kluger or similar but I'd hardly compare the two as being similar quality.
Australia
Mitsubishi Pajero
12/16/21

Pros: Very happy with the pick up and the car in general.

Cons: The reverse camera was inoperative. The drop off in Launceston was a bit confusing due to the change to Sixt. There were still Thrifty signs in the car park as well as Sixt signs and there was no-one attending the car park or terminal desk.
