SIXT's location at Southampton Airport

It couldn't be easier to reach our Southampton Airport car hire branch once you've arrived at Southampton Airport. Once you've collected your luggage simple walk towards to main terminal exit. Then follow the signs that direct you to the Short Stay car park which is opposite the terminal building. You'll see our pick-up office right next to the car park – look out for our orange sign. Our friendly agents will sort you out with your vehicle, and if for some reason it's not the one you booked, you can simply return it for another if you wish.

Explore Southampton with your car hire

The perfect introduction to Southampton is to head down to the Western Esplanade, where you'll find some of the city's main attractions. You can marvel at the long 14th century city walls still standing, visit the Wind Whistle Tower, and stop off at the only medieval church still standing in the city. For first-hand insights into ancient Britain, drive your hire car out to the Medieval Merchant's House and see how a 13th-century family lived. You also can't miss the National Motor Museum, home of the official exhibition of original James Bond movie cars.

Customer reviews & feedback

Hired a car for a short trip to Southampton. After doing this I noticed some really bad reviews on all sorts of sites like trust pilot, TripAdvisor and Google. I was nervous about renting a car after this. However I have to say I had zero issues at all. Matt sorted a lovely car all ready for our arrival. It was spotless and damage on car matched paperwork. I checked in on the app and paid the deposit and nothing further was needed. The car seat was organised, clean and Matt helped with luggage to the car. Good directions for getting out and everything explained that was needed. The return was super quick, easy and no issues, again Matt was on hand and explained everything. I would definitely book a car again with Sixt, can't understand why there are so many terrible reviews, for all car hire companies! Maybe people only post the negatives? The one thing I would say is the insurance to reduce any excess is worth it. It does double the cost of the car, but gives piece of mind knowing if there are any small issues there won't be any disputes. I just looked at the cost per day with the excess already added on and decided if it's worth it or not and picked a car that matched the price I wanted to pay. Also when returning, add on a few more hours, my flight was at 4pm so I selected return for 4pm even though it would be back well before. There is no price difference as they are charged per day not hour - I seen a few comments re charges for late returns so this helps sort this. Big thanks to Matt for everything.
