Total lack of transparency regarding the daily price. We prebooked/prepaid a class and the end charge was double what we expected. No mention at the counter. You don’t get a copy of the invoice at drop off - you get it days later and then they make it difficult to see the charges/details. Unacceptable customer experience with Sixt.Reviewed 2022 Aug 13

Make sure when you’re in Scotland you’re aware business close at 16:00 on weekdays. We arrived after that and SIXT charged us, wouldn’t let us cancel and wouldn’t refund us moneyReviewed 2022 Jul 18

Top tips for renting a car from Sixt in Edinburgh

  • When you are making a trip to the beautiful city of Edinburgh, a great way to enhance your time here is to book SIXT car rentals in Edinburgh. If you plan to explore the city center and need a vehicle primarily for urban driving, a compact or economy car can be a good choice. They are easy to maneuver through narrow streets and offer better fuel efficiency. A mid-sized sedan can provide comfortable transportation for small groups or families. These cars offer a balance between space and maneuverability. For a more comfortable and stylish experience, you can opt for a luxury or premium car.
  • When you book SIXT car rentals in Edinburgh, you'll discover the valuable benefits of the SIXT loyalty program, known as SIXT Express. Express members can enjoy expedited service at rental counters, streamlining the process of picking up and returning rental vehicles. Members also gain access to exclusive promotions and discounts on rental rates, resulting in cost savings. One noteworthy perk for SIXT Express members is guaranteed vehicle availability, ensuring a reserved vehicle even during peak travel periods.
  • Regarding cancellations, most non-prepaid reservations with SIXT in Edinburgh offer free cancellation. However, for prepaid reservations, a small additional fee for cancellation applies if the cancellation is made more than 24 hours before the scheduled pick-up time. Canceling less than 24 hours before the pick-up time or failing to pick up the vehicle may result in an additional fee, and you could be charged for the entire rental, depending on the specific reservation terms.
  • SIXT allows you to add one or more extra drivers to the rental agreement for a fee when you book SIXT car rentals in Edinburgh, which is convenient for sharing driving responsibilities during your trip. They provide GPS navigation systems to assist with navigation, and if you're traveling with children, you can opt for child seats and booster seats for added safety and convenience. For added peace of mind, you can choose additional roadside assistance coverage, covering services such as flat tire repair and lockout assistance during your rental period.
  • Compact rental cars from Sixt in Edinburgh are around 71% cheaper than other car types, on average.
