After experiencing some difficulties with a pre booked rental at another rental company, Sixt helped us immensely, accepting our Visa debit card as payment ( which the other company refused to do) and providing us with a very nice car ( Fiat Tipo) at a reasonable price. The staff were all friendly and courteous, especially Rafael(?). Will definitely use Sixt again.

They said undercarriage is not included in the insurance even though I ticked it and i included everything, otherwise everything went well, the issue with similar car companies is that you dont know how good they are until you face an issue with the car.

The service was very good and fast. They made us a very good offer and we accepted it. When we brought the car back, they were again very fast. The deposit was back after a week (as they said at the beginning).
