Easy to pick up and drop off What I paid for was not the car I’d booked. I was told it was Peugeot 3008 SUV for 5 passengers and 4 luggage- the Citroen we were given did not accommodate this
We really liked the car - it was an SUV (wow, challenging to drive in Europe). But for a 6 week trip, covering much distance, the size and comfort was excellent. We had excellent customer support at pickup and dropoff. We made a request that was very slightly out of company policy and they happily accommodated. Pickup and dropoff for us were at different locations. We are familiar with the different settings of European vs American car rental: the European experience in frequently cramped, confused (plenty of 'lost in translation), and harried. We did not experience that during pickup, but definitely and massively, at dropoff. These events always end up as fabulous travel stories - so, that's the bright side. :) We will be happy to use Sixt in the future.

Drop off in Paris would have been easier if steps had been explained before hand. Everything else was excellent.

Address for pickup are not the same on the website and in the recap email. After checking directly, the website is correct but the email system is not updated.
Europe car staff was rude and untruthful. Car had damage on every body panel. When you refuse extra insurance they force you to sign a contract promising to pay nearly double the MSRP if the car if it is damaged. (Fiat 500 MSRP 17k insisted I sign to pay 30k USD)

The young gentleman who checked us in (and accepted our return) was SO friendly and pleasant. They also held our luggage for a few hours between our car return and our departing train ~ SO helpful! Thank you!

The car assigned was missing a hubcap and had body damage from a previous rental. No after hours drop off instructions provided for destination, and dark desolate Eurocar drop off location in Grenoble. Due to miscreants loitering in the dark in the area, decided not to risk my life, and left tand incurred an add’l days rental to return following day.

I normally dread going to the sales desk at a rental car company because normally they try and sell you everything. On this occasion, europcar had all the info they needed, didn't try and sell me anything, had the right size car available and only required a signature and a swipe of my credit card. And the when I dropped it off the handover was seamless, the staff were friendly and didn't try to find an issue with the car so that they could charge me more money. It really was the best experience I have ever had hiring a car (apart from the overall price, but I understand that is down the market, not Kayak or Europcar).

The car was clean and spacious, but hard to find. Located in a remote parking lot and space. It was hard to navigate the distance w luggage. The car was different from what was promised: expected a hybrid car w GPS. It was neither. Contactless renting has its advantages. At the same time you need internet service every time you open and lock the car. We travelled to Lyon from a different continent and so this was an issue.
Great service. Small station but the two people working there were efficient and very helpful.

The desk was poorly manned, we had to wait an hour and a half after the previous client had waited two hours or more, or even closed on drop off. No parking spaces available, car not clean, badly damaged and not reported on pick up. Overall not good, stick with the Swiss side, after all of the extras and hassle on the French side, the Swiss is a much better prospect.
Never EVER travel with Avis on the French sector of Geneva Airport. There is no signage / wayfinding to the return area. I spent 45 minutes driving around putting in their “suggested” location onto goggle maps and WAZE which literally makes you drive around in circles. The return is down some dodgy road, where the maps is telling you to do a UTURN. None of the contact details are Correct on the paperwork. The charge for dropping off on the Swiss side was over £500. It would have taken Avis 10 min to drive it back to the French side. The car also didn’t have a full tank.

Geneva airport is a nightmare. There were some surprise admionistration fees that make the booking substantially more expensive than it would seem initially.

When collecting the vehicle it was found to be dirty inside, front windscreen was awful could almost not see through it was so filthy, in fact the vehicle was picked up from what seem to be the return bay ....on the opposite side it seem that was where the clean vehicle were....dissapointing as had no choice as was in rush to drive to the Alps, in the vehicle that was given, possibly due to the low cost via USA website Also I asked to make certain i had snow chain as per French law, was given one set but apparently one was already in the vehicle as per normal , and was charged an additional €65 despite the return person confirming i would not be charged if not used (which wasn't) beside this all was fine

It has been a nightmare to pick the car up from French sector since you are not allowed to pass through within the airport building. This was very uncomfortable with all the ski gear, etc. We were given a car damaged allover and with summer tires on which is illegal in France in 48 departments in mountainous areas. We could not drive the car because of snow and had to cancel many of our programs. Dropping off luggage at Geneva airport Swiss sector then dropping off the car at French sector was cumbersome. I will never rent from AVIS again. Worst renting experience in my life!

The car was OK. The price was extremely high. We didn't have a clue what an AdBlue is, and we were stuck in a gas station, with no ability to start the engine, after filling engine oil... :) The staff should not assume all worldwide customers are familiar with AdBlue... and/or have diesel cars.
