Thaddeus at the rental counter & Lorena in vehicle pick-up were both fantastic. The 2024 BMW 430i convertible that I rented was immaculate. Unlike other agencies that charge for features like navigation and expanded stereo, my car from Sixt had everything enabled: navigation, HD Stereo, Sirius radio– all were included at no additional charge. Returning the vehicle took less than 3 minutes. It was a Sunday evening, so a little busy; but there were plenty of attendants and mine met me as I stepped out of the car and had me on my way in under 3 minutes. I never really knew what I was missing with regard to service level experience until I rented with Sixt, and I'm impressed. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. ☆☆☆☆☆☆
