Car hire at Belfast City Airport (BHD) offers a great opportunity to tour along the Co Down coastal and lake route, south-east of the airport, or to travel onward to Dublin or even travel north to the celebrated Co Antrim coast. Car hire is definitely the easiest option, allowing you to pop into the many small villages, hidden coves, and tourist amenities all along the Northern Ireland coastline. Using local transport would take much longer and only bring you to major destination points rather than the multiple stopover spots available in this dramatic part of Ireland.

It’s one of two airports in Belfast, the other being Belfast International Airport (BFS).

I was nit aware that I would need to have a 3,000 GBP hold put on my credit card to pick up the car. The alternative was to pay double the cost of the rental car in insurance.

For some reason I was charged £1.09 more than the advertised cost. I don't know why and for that amount haven't bothered contacting anyone to ask! Strange one...

Acceptable. We didnt inspect the vehicle together and sign it off before leaving from pick up which was a bit of a worry. Car interior a little worn/tired but clean. No sixt branded car hire stickers/signage? I selected wrong airport for pick up. Additional charge was a bit high in my opinion but understandable

The gas tank is never full when you pick up the car (on 2 occasions). So you are either penalized if you leave it a little short on fuel (I was) or you make a fuel donation to sixt if it’s over fueled at all. This almost seems deliberate to me.

2.0 Poor

Sixt would not honor my Kayak reservation, they refused to rent a car to me. They said they couldn’t because I was over 75. But they knew my age when they made the reservation. It was a horrible experience. We planned a two week driving trip. They should have not made the reservation. And when I was at the counter, they should have found a way to get me a car. I’m very disappointed with Kayak and Sixt for doing that to me. I was able to find a Walk-Up rental from Enterprise which was hundreds of dollars more expensive than my Kayak reservation. I feel that Kayak and/or Sixt should compensate me for my loss.

4.0 Mediocre

Anonymous, Nov 2024

The car was underpowered, no reverse camera, no GPS, had no power on the motorways and quite pathetic headlights. The Budget staff refused to honour my travel insurance I had organised for accident cover, stating that ‘ You must have a Credit Card to secure that’ or we won’t accept that.I have a debit card only so I was forced to pay for their insurance which was exorbitant. They did not explain any of this or show me over the vehicle so I was left to look up the manual to see how to connect my iPhone for Google Maps. Seems like the Car Rental companies are competing to see who can rip off the customer for the most money. The whole experience was unpleasant.

I didn’t rent the car because they didn’t have any with automatic transmission. The agents on the phone were really good and very kind and friendly and helpful.

Car was clean and nice to drive. Even got a free upgrade. Although the extra insurance required despite already having travel insurance was not ideal.
