Very friendly and skilled staff, really helpful in my case (driving grom Austria to Slovakia, with nice tips). Only point is to actually find the desk, quite hidden, but very close to the car park.

After issues with Europcar, I came to sixt. They were very kind and helpful, did their best to insure I got the best car to suit my needs. The car itself was very clean and well maintained. Everything from the reception to the return process was pleasant. I’ll definitely be renting here again.
