Everything went smoothly.

Flavio has been extremely friendly and helpful throughout the entire reservation process.
We didn’t have a booking ahead of time so he took the time to process everything smoothly.
He also gave us tips around the city and local driving habits.
Not sure why this place has a 3.3 rating as it definitely deserves much more.
Highly recommend this Sixt location instead of the one in the airport due to cheaper rates.

Surprisingly the people were nice and the car was great, contrary to the other reviews. Our car wasn’t returned on time by the people before us, so they gave us a loaner car for the day, covering the difference, and we drove back the next day to pick the car up. Although the situation could be avoided, it could have been a lot worse, and the employees handled the situation well.
