I had seen mixed reviews before I rented here (Newcastle airport) but I can only say that the staff were very friendly and professional, the service was excellent and I got a free upgrade. I had a flat tire during the rental but the emergency service to replace it was very good. No hassles when I returned the car, again, the staff handled it all so well. I will certainly consider SixT for my next rental.

Mohammed is a warm-hearted staff with great patience and a lovely smile. He gave us useful advice on choosing appropriate cars. We are glad to work together with him and looking forward to work together again in the future. Plus: We made a wrong selection of manual car online and he helped us kindly and patiently to upgrade it into an automatic one. We use that car to enjoy a pleasant journey around England.
