    "Great vehicle & great customer service "

  • | 04.03.2013

    "I frequently hire vehicles, I haven't used Sixt for a while, but the service was excellent and the member of staff was friendly and efficient. I would not hesitate to recommend Sixt."

  • | 03.03.2013

  • | 27.02.2013

    "The staff at your Abbeyhill branch are very polite and professional and I will definately be booking again."

  • | 27.02.2013

    "I found Sixt as a last minute try using the internet on the train on my way to Edinburgh. You were able to take my booking and enable me to get to your office by 5.00pm. Europcar close at 4.30 pm and you can't book on line within two days of the hire. As long as your price is in line with the others I will now tend to use you if I come to Edinburgh station. I also fly quite a lot and have used Europcar previously mainly through Easyjet. From what I can see if I book a car with you the total price is almost identical. Cost of car is slightly more expensive but your insurance is cheaper. So I very much hope to use you for the next trip in March especially if you can meet us at the station on arrival.In addition the service in the branch was excellent."

  • | 25.02.2013

    "The staff at Sixt were absolutely delightful, and went above and beyond my expectations of customer service, helping out in any way possible at every interaction I had before, during and after my rental. I shall definitely be using Sixt again."

  • | 24.02.2013

    "Overall the car and service was good, the price which is posssibly the most important factor was also very reasonable. On the Friday our train was substantially delayed and upon calling the Edinburgh office they were very helpful. The service representative was also very helpful. I forget her name, but she was the blond lady and she gave us some very useful advice and directions for getting out of Edinburgh. Overall as I said we've had a good experience and assuming that price remains competitive I would be happy to use Sixt again."

Facts about the Sixt location Edinburgh

Edinburgh city, the capital of Scotland is set in an idyllic world heritage site, offering oodles of historical sites dating back from the bronze age. With a population of almost 500,000 Edinburgh is the second largest city in Scotland and a top UK tourist hotspot with 1 million overseas visitors attending the Fringe independent performing arts and comedy festival in August alone, making the city well known as the European cultural hub for performing arts venues.

The city is also infamous for its authors including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle- The author of Sherlock Holmes, Louis Stevenson,creator of treasure island and the strange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and in more recent years JK Rowling, the author of Harry Potter, wrote her first book in an Edinburgh coffee shop.

The city is divided into two parts known as new town and old town. Old Town has preserved much of its medieval buildings including Edinburgh Castle which holds the annual Edinburgh Military Tattoo with massed pipers and fireworks during the festival season. There are many places of interest including St. Gile's Cathedral and the Royal Museum of Scotland, during the 16th centuryold town saw a tendency of 'high rise style stone buildings' which give Edinburgh a unique skyline. During the industrial revolution many underground vaults were inhabited by immigrants, today you can take tours to see the underground city.
New Town built in the 18th Century holds a very Georgian feel, which was created by James Craig, a 22 year old who won a competition to design expansion of the city. New town holds many interesting sights including the National Gallery of Scotland, and the Scottish Academy building.


Top Five Things to do in Edinburgh:

1. Visit Edinburgh Castle
2. Walk up Arthurs seat (the tallest hill in Edinburgh with the nicest view)
