I must confess, I had never heard of Sixt, so I didn't know what to expect...but if was not only pleasantly surprised, but VERY pleased! Shuttle from airport was quick and the driver was very helpful. The check-in process couldn't have been smoother (Rayshonna was stellar!). Car was clean and in excellent condition. Return process was equally as smooth (thanks for your help Sherman!). Not only would I not hesitate to use Sixt again, but given the choice, I would happily select them!

I dropped off my car on Sunday morning at 5am. I was told by Brittney that the shuttle starts at 5am to the airport. When I got there there were no shuttles running at that time. I saw a shuttle bus that was warming up at 5:20a. The driver at that time told me he was not scheduled to clock in until 5:30 AM. They changed his schedule. He said from 4:30 to 5:30 and did not tell anybody that was dropping off a car at the 5 AM time slot thank you for letting me know And wasting my time and freezing SIXT. How about in the future you tell your clients that are dropping off the car on a specific day that you change your shuttle service. Everything else was great except for that shuttle service. The driver was awesome.
