First of all Sebastian was a star. First time renting a car in the UK. He made the rental experience very easy. The office upstairs was closed but they had their office in the basement (-3). No waiting. Completely hassle free. Booked a VW polo. Got upgraded to a Peugeot 3008 hybrid. Amazing car! Drove it all the way to Slains Castle and around Aberdeenshire with no issues. Booked the full coverage so we had no worries. Highly recommend them. We are coming back in March and booking them again!

Had a fantastic pick-up experience at Sixt in Edinburgh, the team was friendly, thoughtful, knowledgeable, & made sure we had a car with the right tires for our planned travel into the Highlands in December and the car is fantastic. Highly recommended!

5.0

I reserved the wrong vehicle through a third party (better to go to Sixt directly) and then needed to switch vehicles for more luggage space; a real nuisance. The Waverly Place Sixt folk were super friendly and patient, able to clear everything up and sent us on our merry way happy campers!
