Would like to commend David at Hobart airport. For his fantastic service and help. Would not have been able to see the historic sites in such comfort and style with the hired Mercedes. 😁

Returned my vehicle here in Hobart airport from Launceston Airport. The carpark for Sixt was easy to find, and the dude at the counter was friendly and the return process was a key handed back and that was it. Received the invoice the next day with no extra charge. Hassle free and great service!

Very easy company to deal with. Very competitive pricing, with a bonus 20% discount for motoring club members. Hated the buzzy little 3 cylinder car ( but that's my bias and problem. I'll get a bigger one next time,!!)
