Incident #1756
Sixt's AI Rental-Car Inspection Reportedly Led to a £1,659 Bill for Pre-Existing Damage in Manchester, England
Description
A renter at Manchester Airport, England, reportedly received a £1,659 bill after Sixt's Car Gate AI scanner missed existing scratches at pickup but flagged them at return. Sixt pursued payment for eight weeks and threatened collections and legal action despite scans reportedly showing the damage predated the rental. The company canceled the damage entry and bill after an ombudsman intervened.
