It was so easy to make a reservation…

It was so easy to make a reservation online. The pick up process was smooth and everything was explained to me regarding the conditions of renting the car. The vehicle itself was very clean and lovely to drive. The prices were competitive and given the friendly service at both pick up and drop off, I would definitely recommend.

Friendly staff

Friendly staff.
Nice vehicle but I didnt realise VW had opposite blinkers and windscreen wipers, so felt unsafe driving. I will request a different car.

Good service from the only major rental in town

I rented from them because they were the only major rental chain actually within walking distance of the regional city centre I was renting the car from (Albury, NSW), and not located in some industrial estate or at the airport well outside of town. Ultimately, it worked out. It could've been cheaper, especially the excess reduction, but we can't have it all.

The staff were friendly, up front with what I needed to know and answered all my questions.

When they found I'd left something behind in the car, they took the trouble to call me and then drive to the railway station to return the item to me. This meant I could avoid attempting a panicked 40 minute powerwalk on a 40-degree summer's day and risk missing my train. Which was very much appreciated!

Sixt Blacktown Collection Experience

Hired from Sixt Blacktown late afternoon on 8th January. In fairness it was a very hot day but the staff seemed a little distracted from the off. We hire cars all over the world, often from Sixt, and have an annual hire car insurance policy which seemed to confuse the agent who we mainly dealt with, Anash. Once we got that straightened out the rest of the paperwork was easy. We were told that the car we were hiring was directly outside the office, but we were given the keys for a different car, which another member of staff then had to go get. This car DN50NI had quite a few areas of damage which we pointed out to the staff. I took photos of the damaged areas and was told that these had also been photographed by Sixt staff, and that when we received the usual pre-rental agreement paperwork that these would be noted. Later we received an email from Sixt with the usual paperwork stating that the car had no existing damages, which is clearly wrong. I have used the contact form on the Sixt au website to point out these errors and have sent some of my photos. Hopefully someone at Sixt will pick this up quickly and get the paperwork sorted out.

Best car rental in Australia

The most friendly and helpful car rental team/place on the planet. Could not fault them for customer service and vehicle delivery/availability. Great prices for rentals and a very trustworthy atmosphere which is not always the case with other car rental companies. I highly recommend if you are looking to rent in Melbourne.

Great service team

I've been visiting Australia in Sydney and Melbourne monthly since June, and I've had to deal with car rentals. I must admit, the Sixth at Footscray was one of my best rental experiences.

There was a short queue when I arrived at the service lobby area. There were professional staff members answering questions from mostly tourists, who were patient and concise.

It was so busy and the servings came in back-to-back that I think it was difficult for the team to keep a positive attitude while providing delightful service.

I was grateful to be served by a fine gentleman named Mr. SAURABH. He greeted me with a smile and retrieved my booking.

Having explained and encouraged me that the coverage is crucial, I took the insurance. We viewed the car that I had booked.

Mr. SAURABH noticed the luggages we brought along and offered a Forester. He also mentioned that the Forester is newer and could accommodate more people (we have 3 girls with us) .

While I believe he did exactly what he wanted done (standard operating procedure), I cannot imagine myself doing it 10-20 times daily over a few days during this festive season. However, he sounded calm, genuine, and especially patiently answering my many questions.

He explained concisely the link pass surcharges of $3.30 daily and also the fines surcharges if any. After that, I was taken to the car park and another friendly lady wearing a vest helped me inspect the car.
She reminded my kids few times in a fun manner to belt up. She also reminded me to keep to speed limits.

In addition to thanking them for their services over the festive season, I am pleased with the safer and bigger new car I'll be driving over the next seven days.

Thank you, Footscray Sixth, for your hard work. Merry Christmas!
