"Fantastic rental experience!!! Given that this was my first time renting a van with Sixt, I was a little uneasy as I hadn't driven a vehicle like this before and the conditions werent great for driving. Beth at the branch was brilliant in explaining what the best options for my rentals would be without being to pushy or aggressive with her selling. Credit has to go to the branch manager Jamie for running such an efficient operation, The check out and check in procedures were quick and I was left with the great feeling that I had gotten everything I needed to do done with much time to spare and not having spent as much money as I would have with some other rental companies. I cannot speak highly enough of the team at the branch! All the best! Mr. G "

"internet booking site is not totally practical via mobile phone,offers do not convert to your agents-even if they are available. The manager and assisstants handled my quandry admirably, connecting me with my choice of vehicle and my dateline. Payment was not possible over internet as there were no options offered for my debit card, only credit card options were available. This was also overcome as a problem by your team swiping my card prior to pick up of vehicle. Thanks go to your staff at Manchester for there planning in not losing potential customers."

"What can I say, I am blown away with the level of service from Sixt customer services & Piccadilly team. I specified during my booking that I would like the cheapest economical car, with 4 door and with cruise control within the ECMR group which I gratefully received. I didn't even think there would be a car in your fleet within ECMR group which had all those options or that it would be available as the Piccadilly office is quite small and new. By receiving a car that i specified left a huge impression for me about SIXT, I don't just see you guys providing a service but thrive in continuing customer service by going above and beyond. You guys have, more than ticked all the boxes for me and I will definitely only be using SIXT for my future car hire requirements and recommend SIXT to everyone I know. Thank you and all your staff once again for making my car rental a pleasurable experience. "
"Excellent service and excellent van, far superior to a company I have used in Salford. Would definitely use SIXT again."
"Really friendly and helpful staff. I was so glad you were open on the bank holiday - that's why I chose you, never having rented with you before - and that's how I discovered how good you were. The car I had was good, and nothing at all went wrong, so I was pleased with that. But the overriding impression I had was of ease of booking/speed and convenience of collection and drop-off/friendly staff, all which make all the difference. Based on this, I will use you again and recommend you to others. Thanks! "
"Sixt provided the best value service by far. I called to check something about my booking and the member of staff was very helpful, he even recognised me by my accent the next day when I went in to pick up the car. To me that is going the extra mile and is an example of great service."
