Rented cars from this location multiple times, the staff is always beyond friendly which is very rare these days. Location is easy to find, cars are always new and clean. Never had an issue with them charging me from the deposit for bogus damages like other companies. Go for sixt if you don't want any headaches. Congrats for the really good services and really nice staff at the Santander airport.
