Just waiting for confirmation of $200 hold-payment to be released back into my account. Everything else was perfect except for delays regarding shuttle transfers, but that is not your fault

Kelly B.

5.0

Tevita and Dawa at Sydney International were the most considerate and helpful rental car employees we have ever come across. We made our flight from domestic, because of their kindness. 5 star gratitude is not enough. The car was also clean, looked and drove like brand new. We are impressed by sixt. It was easy to find pick up and drop off point. It was the first time we had used them but won't be the last.
