Charlene is the best! Great service, knowledgeable about the cars, super friendly, and she made all-around great rental experience. Also, super convenient, clean location with a special selection of vehicles. We’re now a one EV car family, so Charlene and Sixt will be seeing a lot more of us for road trip and fun cars. No reason to rent anywhere else.

Great, great customer service. Best place on the westside to rent a car. Actually everyone in person at Sixt, in any store is awesome: nice, helpful, competent, smart. It's true that Sixt's phone customer service leaves a lot to be desired, but don't be put off. Once you're dealing with in-store team (especially in Venice or Santa Monica), you're in good hands.

Highly recommend SIXT rent a car. Holidaying in the USA from Australia we left the car rental until the last minute and these guys were amazing. Lovely modern affordable cars so we felt safe driving from L.A to Vegas. Staff on both ends were 10/10. Really nice people, did their job really well I will only use these guys now wherever I can when travelling. Thankyou so much
