Carol P.

5.0

Absolutely amazing service and experience from pick-up to drop-off. Mark, Gary and Christopher helped in many ways. They got me into a GREAT AND COMFY car for a great deal! I have never ‘enjoyed’ renting a car before - usually disappointed in car options/hidden fees, etc. - but SIXT is a whole different experience. Exceeded all expectations. I am very glad to have found them and will definitely use again. (One thing to factor in with their amazing cars - some require High Octane fuel - so the gas coat during your use may be higher than anticipated - but so worth it, the car was a blast!)
