Hat tip to a very professional and excellent member of staff at the Gatwick branch of SIXT - Rhys. Took the time to engage, recommend a suitable vehicle and then kindly walked me to the vehicle to make sure all was in place and met my expectations. Very well done!

I selected the Lucky Dip car and was provided with a VW T-Cross auto which was good considering the price paid. Service both on collecting the vehicle and returning it was prompt and courteous. I have used several different car companies before when renting from LGW, and would willingly return to Sixt.

I had a great experience with my rental on March 15, 2023. The agent was polite and experienced, my wait time to be served was less than 5 minutes and the agent processed my reservation and documents very efficiently and expertly. He helped me locate the place where I was able to pick up the vehicle. Exiting the rental area was also easy and the return of the vehicle was easy as well. I returned the vehicle very early on a Sunday when no staff was there, but the drop off box was clearly marked which made it easy for me to leave the vehicle quickly and safely. Within a few hours I received a conformation e-mail from Sixt that my return was processed successfully. Oh, one of the best things about this rental was that it was very close, just a few minute from the terminal, so I did not have to take a shuttle to and from the rental! I highly recommend this place.
