The SIXT team at the T1 terminal of Barcelona Prat airport were fantastic, are available 24/7 unlike the majority of other car hire services. My wife and I, along with our 2 year old daughter, found ourselves in a pinch due to flight delays and we're unable to get a car with our original provider. Thankfully the SIXT desk was still open and all to happy to help us arrange a car that allowed us to get our holiday back on track and our family safely to our hotel. Cannot praise the team enough, especially Cristian who helped us through the process of hiring a car swiftly and provided us with all the information we needed in a clear fashion.

Great experience. I rented a car day of and got a great rate for it. From booking the car to driving off the lot was about 30 minutes (including walking time) which wasn’t bad at all. Employees were wonderful and very helpful
