Easy to book. The staff in Cairns Airport were excellent as were the staff outside at the pickup point. The car was clean and did not put a foot wrong. Will definitely use SIXT again.

Very easy pick up and return. Vehicle easy to drive and fuel consumption OK. Photos of various minor scratches and spots taken before driving off as evidence in the event of any dispute. First time we've dealt with Sixt but way better experience than many other car rental companies. Happy with overall experience. We'll use them again!
