Sixt rarely fails and I am glad I rented from them in Santorini as well. The car I wanted first was not available, but when I said that I specifically wanted that car and nothing else, staff worked their magic and a little later I drove off in the car I had booked. I guess I was lucky, but still they did the effort of looking for it! Happy customer - will rent again!
