There was an extremely unpleasant situation with the application of tariffs by the Sixt. The car was with a strange set of options. For example, there were no parking sensors, but at the same time, the car had more advanced, but less popular options.

The gentleman i dealt with at the branch was brilliant. I come from South Africa, so my hebrew is very basic, he assisted me and made a plan to get my details so quickly and efficiently. What incredible service. Thank you

Most rental car agencies in Jerusalem have negative reviews. We had a good experience with Sixt. Good car, competent check-in and check-out. However, any time we rent outside the US, we recommend protecting yourself with photos of the car before and after, asking questions about tolls and late return fees. The drivers near Jerusalem are aggressive, so we paid for the low-cost CDW even though our credit card covered us.

Kayak improperly filtered unlimited mileage and sent me to a third party (QEEQ) that had only up to 250km. Ended up losing money and could not cancel the rental. Not using again. Bad experience.
Yes, staff was great, and pick-up and drop-off went smoothly. No surprises at anytime - that's always a good thing!
The vehicle's air conditioning seemed to be effective only when moving at a good clip. When stopped at a light, or elsewhere, the air conditioning was ineffective. I was renting an MG.
had to wait 30 minutes for pick up, but they were courteous and busy

If you rent for 1-2 days you have a limited amount of km to use (only 250km). If you exceed this, they charge 0.40 for every extra km. For us, we had to pay double the rental price because of this, it was excessive.

Everything could be better, I waited 45min to drop off the car, and got a dirty car with missing things and a problem with the wheel.
The staff at the Jerusalem office were terrible. 2 did not speak English so their difficulty with helping me was understandable but one spoke perfect English and was awful to me and made the customer next to me cry. He shamed me for asking questions about what was covered with the insurance package.

Customer service was terrible. I booked two nine passenger vans, none were ready and one wasn’t even there. I switched to a 5 passenger and 7, and it took them almost 2 hours to get it ready and reserve it for me. On top of that, the price was very expensive for the insurance. I then found out my chase visa covers insurance but the manager didn’t feel like reversing it and said “they don’t really cover it’s a hassle”

The reservation program has shown the ERROR message but actually has been proceeded. I've got an email later that the reservation was done when I already made reservation in another company. So I had to cancel it and had to pay cancellation fee.
