Most annoying thing is that Sixt is the clearest in terms of pricing out of the rest. Especially doesn't help that I'm a young driver (22), but what can I do? I need a car to take my stuff to and from Uni every year. I also am willing to spend a little more for the service I get, however there is a massive price gap this year. Last year I paid around £40 however this year it's shot suddenly up to £51 and thats not including the young driver surcharge. I would be so happy if rental companies don't penalise young drivers who have hired multiple times safely.
