I have been coming to sixt for years whenever I have issues with my car. Shannon is the sweetest and is always so accommodating. The whole staff is always nice and professional and the process is streamlined and quick. You're in and out in a few minutes. I would highly recommend Sixt if you're in need of a rental.
