Fahad Ali was incredibly helpful in ensuring everything went smoothly. I just wish there had been better directions once I reached the parking area, as I got a bit lost for a few minutes. The best feature of this place is the 24-hour return option. I usually have to take cars from the airport, which involves a 20-minute Uber ride for me. I am definitely going to recommend my friends.

Working with the staff and crew at the SIXT Studio City location on Ventura Blvd. was a breeze. I had a simple mistake with an over-charge on my credit card, which the company quickly resolved. The credit back to my card showed up within 24 hours. They are a friendly group of people. Who doesn’t like friendly? If I’m not flying in or out of the airport, SIXT is my go to rental car company for all my rental car needs. SIXT also beats out any other app based car rental company. Orbitz or Expedia can’t touch em’! Go SIXT! - Brett Baker

Hello, I am very satisfied with the service provided by you. I rented a premium sedan at Priceline for a total of $61 for one day, including insurance. Once there, they gave me the keys to the new 2024 Volvo S60 😍 Beautiful car, super clean and economical, I would rent it again without a doubt. It is worth mentioning the good treatment of its two morning employees 😊 I plan to rent again for my birthday on October 13 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
