A very nice welcome from desk agent Markuita. She managed to upsell some insurance which I'm still not sure I needed but the peace of mind helped. We got a nice vehicle upgrade which meant I was fairly happy with the overall price paid. On my return Saeid was as friendly as you could imagine and is an asset to your station.

This place is it! Had a wonderful experience with Markuita! She is extremely knowledgeable and professional. Possibly one of the easiest rental processes I've ever experienced. Kudos to Sixt for having her!

Our experience was great all around. We were given a free upgrade to a series 2 BMW. Nicest rental car we’ve ever had. The shuttle was right at the pick up when we departed and arrived. Ray Gill checked us back in and was very quick and thorough with the return. Definitely recommend Sixt for your rental car needs!

Huge shoutout to Matthew and his trainee Mike. Very welcoming and professional. Huge selection to choose from and hooked my brothers and I up with a cool new upgrade at a fair price. Inside office is clean and cool looking, car was extremely clean. Also a cool perk for business owners is an account to receive perks. Definitely will be coming back for all future rentals. Thanks SIXT team! #EliteDS

Quick and courteous. Clean car. Nathaniel was very helpful in getting me situated on the shuttle bus with all my luggage. Bus driver was also kind and helpful but I did not catch his name (he even ran to me to bring my phone I left on the bus).
