We rented a car for 9 days. This is my second time in three years renting from Sixt. David is awesome. He speaks 4 or more languages. He is super friendly and reasonable. Most rental agencies in Mexico pressure you into buying CDW insurance, which doubles your rate. My Visa covers the CDW if I use it to pay and the rental period is not longer than 12 days. It cost me $400 for 9 days which i thought was fair. I will call David directly next time I'm in beautiful Guadalajara to set up my rental from Sixt.

I did not know about Sixt until a relative recommended it to me. The arrival in Guadalajara is matched with a person waiting or calling you to check on your status. They are prompt to drive you to the nearby office where the cars are waiting. You get what you order online and are not hassled for additional things that other big named agencies would say are required. Getting in and out is very easy and have not had any problems the last three rentals that lasted weeks.

Made reservation over the net, decided to rent car for longer period than anticipated. Excellent customer service and best pricing I could find near Guadalajara's international airport. Ask for David or José Luis, they will take care of your car rental needs.

We rented a car from Sixt for 8 days and had an overall good experience. Process was easy, staff is friendly. They pick you up and take you to the airport, which is convenient. The car itself was a little iffy, however. We rented a Chevy Aveo. The check engine light came on a day into our trip but made it through with no issues. No hidden fees. Highly recommended.
