Chris M.

Always helpful staff, letting me pick the car up slightly early. Sadly this branch got shut by my return date and I had to return it to T5 but managed to rearrange the drop-off time to fit with another flight.

Katie W.

I have hired a lot of cars from a number of places but this was by far the most positive experience. The customer service was excellent, they went above and beyond when I explained my needs and were incredibly pleasant to deal with. The car itself was wonderful and it was a very quick and easy return when we brought it back. I was so impressed with such a high standard of service, I would not hesitate recommending this car hire branch. I look forward to hiring again from them soon!

David A.

Due to previous experience with other companies on previous occasions I expected this to be an unpleasant experience that had to be endured in order to get a car. I was very pleasantly surprised to find the staff were not pushy, and that they were extremely polite. This was not only at the desk but also on the phone when I needed an extension, all the people I spoke to in the return area and the drivers of the courtesy buses. I will certainly use the company again in the hope of a repeat of this standard of customer care.

Moe M.

Very friendly and professional staff. Thank you!

Scott W.

I booked a car for one week from Sixth and found their service brilliant! I have used other companies but now usually go with Sixth. Corinne checked me in, looked after all the details and gave us a great car. I’ve had too much good service from this company all over the UK not to keep using them.

Bee Master L.
