I have rented cars all over Europe and never come across this before.
We all know these firms have you over on “excess” insurance cover, so like many I have an annual policy to cover this.
But when I arrived in Geneva I was told the car would only be covered THIRD PARTY they then went on to try and sell me comprehensive cover and excess insurance.
The car was a top end VW SUV so no one in their right would take it third party and to be honest Sixt rental are mad to allow it.
Felt like a right con trick to me and after a decent haggle I got a discount that kept me in the car, but I am not happy. To be fair when I go back to the booking it does say third party - but even so.........
Anyone else had this ?
