fast, friendly service. good price.

A "leave the key and go" drop-off service, instead of queueing also with customers that were picking up the car.

Excellent rear view camera, cruise control operable, low consumption modern car, accurate navigator.

Car book was not in english. Navigator voice orders disabled (could not discover how to activate). A brief introduction from staff at pick up would be helpful

Nice price for what you get and easy going of reservation etc.

Too small remarks: Reserved the car Saturday evening for pick up at Rue du Simplon. Went there but nobody was there yet and in the emd had to go to Place du Tunnel to get the car. Overloaded parking lot for drop off, leaves you feel a little bit uneasy to park the car there.

Okay|Aug. 2016

the surprise 50chf for mandatory insurance upon arrival was not appreciated. Your competitors list this up front and although your method got us to rent from you this time, this experience has left us with no desire to use Hertz in the future. Transparency is a virtue which is respected on the consumer side but obviously used for financial gains on yours

Sixt is simply the best in Switzerland, the team in Lausanne is amazing and truly helpful. I would highly suggest using Sixt and No other rental Agency. They have the nicest cars, great staff, and by far the best prices. Without question Sixt is setting a standard other rent a car companies should follow.

Ease of booking. Great car

We were unable to get a satisfactory answer at the time of car pick up as to whether the rental included third party insurance. We declined fire, theft insurance because our Visa card supplied that. When we asked about third party we were told everybody's private insurance covers that and we did not need it. When we looked on our receipt it stated that we were offered third party insurance and declined it (we did not). When we looked on the insurance form in the glove compartment it says third party insurance is covered. On the Sixt website, it says that third party insurance is included. On car rental sites in Switzerland it says that third party insurance is mandatory. I'm glad we weren't in an accident and had to find out whether we were covered or not.

Mediocre|Oct. 2022

The instructuons where to drop off the car were not clear at all. I had to call the emergency line of Hertz to askbid its ok to leave it on a public parking near the Hertz odfice in Lausanne. He said its fine, although I still have question marks if thisbisbok given the strict parking rules in Lausanne. The employee who gave me the car was rude, on my question why they are blocking CHF 205 from my credit card instead of CHF78 as it was durung the booking, his answer was "you didn't ask Madam". I expected at least an answer for the reason behind this. And the rest of the ammount is still blocked even though I returned the car in proper order. Car was clean, comfort ok so no complains in that side, but the customer experience and service should be definitely improved.

Online reservation was simple. In-person pick up was efficient with competent staff. After-hours drop-off was very easy!
