Sixt is not at the Airport, it is a short journey away from the city airport, however this should…read morenot deter you from renting.
When you book ahead, Sixt usually offer deals competitors simply can not match, especially for the 25-30 age bracket. If you have any doubts in terms of what you need to bring or show (like the lady below), a simple phone call ahead of time will see this situation avoided. If things are not as expected, you can obviously amicably part company without any fallout, but that generally doesn't happen.
From the first time I used this branch, they have and continue to operate a fair, pragmatic and efficient service, something which I value.
For example, when I first booked, I was missing some things that were probably going to hold up the process upon arrival. When I explained this over the phone, the guys were more than accommodating and we ironed everything out. So upon arrival, I literally walked in and within minutes was driving up the road in my rental. If you have any concerns in terms of documentation, or absolutely whatever else, just phone the number and speak with an agent, its really that simple, and EXACTLY what I did.
As a result of this, I rent from Sixt at least once, if not twice, a month when I am home for the weekend, and have no reason to switch.
In terms of making everyones life easier;
When landing, if you are only carrying hand luggage, its usually best to ring when you land or leave the plane so that the free pick up service is prompt. Otherwise wait for your bag.
Essentially the pros are;
If you are efficient and pragmatic in the planning stages this is a complete gift.
Its cheap and cheerful and thus exceptional value
Customer retention; the more familiar you become with the company let alone the branch, there's perks.
Cons;
Its not at the Airport. However, providing you plan appropriately, the length of time it takes for you to get to Sixt, get your keys and roll out onto the highway, is less than that of one of the desks at the Airport as there is a lot of due diligence at the desk itself in terms of documents etc and then some of the cars are about a 5-10 minute walk from the terminal anyway.
The only waiting about you'll do is with the shuttle, because as you're signing documents, someone else from Sixt is pulling your car up for you. The flip-side of this is, going through a massive parking lot to find it yourself and then getting out of the Airport, all of which takes time and if the weather isn't so pleasant (which is often the case), then this will not be enjoyable.
So, all in all, 5/5 use them regularly and continue to do so.
