Noleggio abitualmente per le mie trasferte di lavoro da Genova e mi sono sempre trovato molto bene: personale sempre cordiale e disponibile, macchine sempre pulite e in ordine, servizio veloce e professionale.
Cerco sempre di preferire i noleggi con Sixt quando i prezzi non sono esagerati
Buonasera sono Valerio spacca, recentemente ho usufruito dei servizi offerti da sixt,e più precisamente dalla agenzia sixt di Roma Eur, viale Europa.ho trovato una professionalità di alto valore.insieme ad una disponibilità dal punto di vista umano che non è facile trovare da un punto di vista commerciale.in particolare due persone,che gestiscono l attività di Roma Eur,che mi hanno offerto un servizio abbinato alla loro disponibilità che mi ha veramente guidato dall inizio alla fine del rapporto di noleggio.delle due ho solo i nomi: Marco e valerio.consiglio vivamente a chi ci segue,di intraprendere,qualora ne abbiamo bisogno di scegliere sixt per noleggiare un auto,e di affidarsi con totale fiducia a Marco ed a Valerio.

Utilizzo sempre per le mie trasferte in Europa per lavoro auto noleggiate con Sixt, sempre un servizio ottimo, dall'accoglienza, alla pulizia della macchina e alle condizioni perfette. Prezzo buono con ottimi servizi
Ho noleggiato un van a Istanbul con full assurance. Tutto bene, personale gentile e cortese. Ho solo avuto qualche problema con la carta di credito poiché non arrivava la conferma elettronica del pagamento ( problema loro) poi è arrivato il direttore e ho pagato con il sistema tradizionale
Overall very good but there are customer service glitches.
I used SIXT Italy twice and the experience was very good. My flight was diverted to another airport yet it was not a problem at the SIXT desk to transfer my booking from the initial location. They did not have a car in my group but offered an upgrade for a very small additional payment. There was no problem with the return.
The second time I used them I had to remind them about snow chains and a child seat I booked but got them right away.
I give them 4 stars rather than 5 due to the invoice enquiry which they dismissed without explaining anything and which unnecessarily escalated to a complaint. However, it was sorted out to my satisfaction.
I recommend the "lucky dip" offer which is a surprise car for the price of a small city car. I was happy with my surprise.
Affittiamo ogni anno un'auto, non è economico ma abbiamo avuto sempre una bella macchina. questa volta abbiamo avuto una delusione...non era confortevole e abbiamo avuto parecchi disagi.
Normalmente all'aeroporto dovevano darci un contatto di riferimento e abbiamo avuto difficoltà a rintracciare qualcuno del Customer care o personale dell'agenzia.
Quando finalmente siamo riusciti a metterci in contatto, il responsabile è stato però molto cortese, ci ha proposto di andare a prendere un'altra auto, ci ha fatto uno sconto per il disagio, si è scusato. In seguito ci ha contattato la signora Paola del Customer Care, anche lei gentilissima si è fatta spiegare la situazione, si è scusata, ha fatto le varie verifiche.
