Great sixt Location, the team are friendly and very helpful, i don't understand some of the bad reviews, i have never had an issue with car payments , everything works how it supposed to, cars are always nice and clean and pretty new. They have EV too if you want to use a Tesla or other EV. I have rented multiple cars from this site over the last few months, and i will continue to do so
