Jigna (T2) was the most pleasant customer facing person I have met in quite some time. Despite some challenges we faced, she remained consistent throughout the process. Her positive attitude towards others reinforced my understanding of her genuine nature and dedication to her personal brand as well as Sixt.
Both Heathrow terminal 2 and terminal 5 Sixt car rental employees should be recognized for their pleasant and helpful demeanor and Sixt for the ease of services provided.

5.0
We had an unexpected flight cancellation at Heathrow and urgently needed a car for 24 hours to get to family nearby. The whole situation was stressful, especially as we were traveling with our baby, but thankfully we were helped by Jignasha Bhatt at Sixt.
Jignasha was incredibly kind, patient, and efficient. She took the time to understand our situation and found the perfect solution quickly, despite the last-minute nature of our request. Her professionalism and warmth made a big difference during a tough travel day.
Thanks to her help, we were able to get where we needed to go safely and comfortably. We’re very grateful for her support and would happily recommend Sixt to anyone needing reliable service and genuinely helpful staff.
