The location at the airport is ideal and easy to get to, the Sixt staff at the desk (she was alone at that time) was excellent and friendly, and upon our return of the vehicle (before they opened) was seamless...too seamless, as my wife inadvertently locked her new purse inside the vehicle with some significant personal effects. We left notes for the staff and called the help lines...who indicated it was up to the staff if they would send this item or not. (Luckily we had her passport)...and so when I landed at our connection, I returned the phone call from their Sixt BIO staff, and she informed me that they would gladly send the item to us for free if I simply responded to their email with my mailing address. Guess what: 1 week later, the purse and ALL of its contents arrived safely! This was an AMAZING act of great service, and certainly was above and beyond. Great job by their entire staff, and I hope they enjoyed the Peligrino's we left for each of them. I WILL definitely rent from them again!
