I’m general was happy with the rental process and car. However, I won’t rent again with Sixt due to their sensitivity to my DL having some puppy teeth marks. The marks don’t affect my photo or any other information but they said that they’re likely not going to accept a rental in the future. But I’ve rented approximately 20 cars with other companies and the same DL without a warning (not to mention 20+ flights through TSA without a warning).

It was a good experience at sixt , Mrs Maria helped us a lot during our tenure of 8 months of renting the car. She is a thorough professional in management and ensures customer satisfaction by utilizing permutation and combination to ensure availability to customer. Thanks to her and her team.

My sales agent, "The Robert" Camacho, took care of me and my rental like a pro. Warm greeting, friendly conversation, great upgrade, all the while ensuring I had exactly what I needed. I'd give six stars if I could.
