Desmond C.

4.0

The desk in the terminal was very helpful and quick with processing the booking. The Sixt parking area is close to the terminal. The staff at the parking area were not helpful. I had to check and verify the damage report, and the fuel was meant to be full but was well below full.

4.0

Staff very good and efficient. Only downside was although I’d purchased a top insurance separately which insisted I’d need no more coverage, the staff did try to scare me into taking out an additional insurance for apparently vandalism 🤔

Selected a "BMW1 or similar", recieved an Alfa Romeo Stelvio Veloce Q4. The car was great and basically new. The pick up and return procedures were seamless. Recommended.
