"TODO CORRECTO.."
"continue like that thank you, "
"The ground staff were courteous and very professional. We were given a complimentary GPS to help us find our way. Neither my son or I speak Spanish and this was a great help.

"Dato il mio frequente utilizzo del rent a car, vi suggerisco Sixt in Barcellona aeroporto: gli uffici sono aperti 24 al giorno. Altre compagnie chiudono a una certa ora, e così capita che se un aereo è in forte ritardo il passeggero trovi chiuso l'ufficio dove ha affittato il veicolo, lasciandolo nei casini! Saluti e buon lavoro. Mauro"
"You always make a lasting impression when you make a gesture like upgrading ,which was our case. I must thank you and wish a prosperous business year for 2012. "

"Keep on going like that. I have been an Avis customer for many years, but when my last request was to rent a car from the airport in Basel (Switzerland) and have it dropped off at the Barcelona airport (Spain) after a couple of weeks, this became the mission impossible and also stayed like that. Sixt is very flexible and resolved all this in no time. Sixt has now become my Top choice. Thanks for your continuous service and friendly people."

"The Sixt staff were very good and helpful when we picked up the car and when we returned the car to the airport."
"Of the many transactions we had on our trip, the car rental was the one that was least complicated. In particular, we had a mishap with the car (one of the back windows got shattered in a parking lot). Amazingly, the car return and processing that ensued was quick, to the point, and worked exactly as one would want it to: the insurance covered it and there was no need for drawn-out questions or anything else debating whose fault was what. Thank you for a pleasant rental experience."

"The rental was very easy and very nice and you were the cheapest in Barcelona."
"Staff friendly and courteous. Very helpful."
"It would have been better if we knew your great policy about being able to pick up a vehicle at one location and drop off at another locatiob at no extra charge. If this was a more advertised option then you would probably get a lot more costumers, especially from pre and post cruse ship travellers. The complimentary use of computers and food and drinks was wonderful. I would come back just because of that nice gesture. Great shuttles to and from airport too. Thanks!"

"I like travelling and I like Sixt . I use Sixt rental when I visit abroad. From Nurnberg, from Berlin, from Cologne from Amsterdam . That time was from Barcelona airport. Sixt station was some kms away from the terminal but with shuttle no problem!!! Very friendly persons drove us to Sixt office and the surprice was that I booked a Polo VW and they gave us a MINI and the parking were full of nice new cars . Also I want to congratulate you for this high level service; me and my friend decided to rent a car at Athens airport 5 minutes before our flight to Barcelona. In a minute the application of Sixt came to my iphone, I made the selection, perfect menu, and in a minute received answer that our car was alreay reserved!!! Like in the movies of James Bond! Last AUGUST I rent one from Amsterdam and the employee there dedicated 20 minutes to find for me the most suitable packet. Keep on , thanks for your time Ps At 3 of February I fly to Munich and of course I'm going to prefer your company again "
