|Jun 2024This is a satellite location unfortunately our vehicle was not available on day of pickup. The staff there was extremely difficult to deal with over the phone so we decided to drive to the location and speak in person. We were notified as we pulled into the parking lot that our vehicle was available for us so we had to wait 20 minutes for it to be ready. We received our vehicle dirty inside and outside. So filthy we had to detail the vehicle ourselves after already being delayed by an hour. The filthy condition of the vehicle was and is unacceptable, unhygienic, and disgraceful the management of this location needs to do better in all areas from customer service to serving their customers with a spirit of excellence! It’s important how you treat people.

|Jul 2023After waiting in line for 3 hours to get the car, it was full of dirty napkins and had no gas. After pointing this out, the manager had to leave with the car to fill it before returning with it again, still full of dirty fast food napkins from the previous renter.

|Jul 2023Pick up was fine despite the long line, but drop off the person was gone when we got there and we had to wait 25 minutes for him to return. If someone needs to go to lunch, you need a second person working there.

|Sep 2023Didn't have the car I reserved. Tried to give me an absurdly large car, then too small a car, before I get anything remotely close to what was ordered. Billed for all sorts of extras - which added up to more than the original hire.

|Aug 2023Ok so the Drop Off was Excellent, we were delayed by traffic and were offered a lift direct to the terminal from your very friendly and helpful team, which really saved the day. we could not be more grateful for that Pick up the team were also great, and really helpful in getting us a car seat for our child, and we felt very looked after... however we did have to queue for over an hour, (with a six year old after a 9hr flight...) in a building with no coffee or entertainment available at all. The man on the desk, (also really helpful and nice) said that this queue wasn't unusual, and that it was 'always like this'. none of the other car hire firms had anything like this long a queue. a couple of extra desk agents could have sorted it out i'm sure.

|Aug 2026Had to wait in line at the counter for over an hour. When we went to the garage, there were no cars available. After waiting for a car to arrive, we had to wait in a long queue to get out of the garage. The whole experience was incredibly frustrating. I would have happily paid more to another company to het a better and faster checkout experience. Also, the QR code to use the website to register didn't work.

|Sep 2023Had to cancel due to a hurricane less than 24 hours before pickup and lost the ENTIRE $194. I will never rent through Kayak agtand never prepay a rental again

|May 2023They claimed they did not have the size SUV we reserved available, yet there were a number of them sitting under "reserved" signs across the lot. They tried to give us a significantly smaller SUV saying that was all they had. In addition, the staff were rude and unhelpful. Three customer service people sat at their desks with no line at the lot while a line 20 people deep was upstairs. When I asked the "customer service" desk at the lot to add my Hertz gold info to my rental, they said I had to wait in line upstairs. This is not the first rude and unhelpful episode I've had at the Boston Hertz site. They made no effort to remedy the situation to find an SUV near the size of the Yukon we reserved. We left and had a great customer service experience at Dollar instead. This Hertz location consistently offers an appalling customer service experience.

|May 2023The pick up was painful. It took 30 minutes of them trying to sell me extra stuff that I didn't need. The app didn't work so I was forced to talk with an agent to pick the car up. Someone smoked weed in the car so I had to go to Walmart and buy a de-odor sprayer to help. The car was clean and in perfect condition other than the smoke. Drop off was very smooth.

|Aug 2025It was good, the tire pressure light was on when we picked up the car and that made us nervous the tire would go flat. And then on the hottest day the computers dashboard wouldn’t work and we couldn’t turn the radio or AC on when driving around.

|Jul 2023The car was reserved and when we arrived they stated they did not have the car we reserved. They only had upgrades and made us pay $125 extra plus tax because they didn’t have what we reserved. It was such a scam and we should not have had to pay all that extra money if they failed to have what we reserved. I will NEVER use them again.

|Apr 2023It was my first time renting from Sixt, and was hesitant since I never heard of them. I'm a past Zipper (zipcar) and unsubscribe due to high price. Discovered this brand when the other brands were out and/or low on cars due to pandemic. I was extremely pleased with the customer service at the registration/pick-up desk, and the cleanliness of the work. Honestly, it smelled like a fresh-out-of-the-lot car and superbly clean! The major feedback would be - HAVE A CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE & EMAIL. I had a question and couldn't find any phone number or email on your website. That's completely unacceptable in this day and age.

|Apr 2022The staff at Sixt in Boston were aggressive at trying to upsell me. First they claimed that the car wouldn’t fit my family and our luggage and tried to get me to rent a bigger car for $75 per day extra. Then they claimed it would be $14 a day just to add my husband as a driver. They also were unclear about whether or not I would need a transponder but scared me about fines. I felt like I was dealing with con artists trying to squeeze every extra dollar out of me.

|Feb 2023At both pickup and drop off in the parking garage, they appear to be understaffed. I had to look for someone to tell me which cars I could choose from and at drop off, no clear instructions were given. There were other people arriving at the same time as me, so it was not a case of only one customer.
