Jodie at the front desk makes the whole process fun and seamless.

I initially booked online with a £10 per day car hire who were based outside the airport and wanted over £995 as a deposit for 3 day car hire. At this point, I visited the Edinburgh Airport Car Hire Centre and met with Vlad at the Sixt desk. I explained the situation and he could not have been any more helpful. He provided a great offer on an Audi X3 and the customer service was exemplary. He explained where the pick up car was, how the returns worked, how the insurance was and any questions I had, he answered expertly. When I got to the car, it was sat waiting for me in the bay, it was spotlessly clean even though it had a few scratches and dents. The car was a dream to drive and really enjoyed the 3 days I had with it. When I returned the car to the airport, I was met by Miguel so again was very friendly and informative. He looked over the car with me, we talked about the car and again a seamless handover. The car was fine and he signed it off. Customer services and manners cost nothing and both gentlemen were exemplary members of staff; offering handshakes, advice and directions. Moral of the story; you get what you pay for and Sixt are definitely worth paying for!

Excellent and fast service. Outstanding!
