Excellent service. Heidi and all her team at SIXT CBR Airport were professional and accommodating after very disappointing service from Europcar. They sourced a vehicle for me when I was stranded with 3 kids, 3 bikes and luggage. Heidi did everything possible to help us out. Can’t thank them enough for all their hard work and making it happen for us.

Excellent customer service!! I was served by Kelly and my experience with Kelly is enough to make me reuse this company again in the future. After my car broke down, buses sold out, trains stopped running and i saw that planes were ridiculously expensive - i realised that i was stranded at Canberra airport. I walked in to Sixt to see about hiring a car and was served by Kelly, who was so lovely and considerate and did her utmost to help me out. Being an under 25 driver and trying to book with so little notice, it was expectedly quite pricey - but Kelly made sure she did her best to ensure i got the cheapest price available. I was given a Kia Rio which was in excellent condition with very minimal (if any) damage. I am so grateful for Kelly’s help and service, and would definitely recommend this company based on my experience with their customer service alone! Thank you, Kelly!
