Sixt Car Rental is the best when it comes to no hassle customer service and amazing cars. So many of our other rentals have had mechanical issues and customer service lackluster; it costs more but not by much, well worth it if you value your time and want to avoid hassles of very low cost car rental companies in Portugal.

What a great experience with Sixt at Faro Airport. I was served by Tiago, who is a really nice agent to deal with (please send my regards). Got this lovely Peugeot 308, which made my Algarve trip very pleasant. Car was prepared right in front of doors, they explained everything, all damage was properly marked on the damage report. This was second time renting with Sixt this year and always nice people there to deal with. Based on this experience, I would definitely rent here again. Obregado :)
