Things to see in Hungary with your Sixt Car Hire
Hungary is a facinating country with a rich history and varied regions.

Alternatively, collect your car rental at Miskolc to explore the famous Eger-Tokaj wine growing region. Debrecen is the perfect choice for exploring the wide open vistas of Lake Tisca and Puszta, or you could pick up your car hire at Gyor for a relaxing drive through the beautiful Pannonia region.

We received exemplary client service from Norbert and his team. We hired a minibus for a company trip to the Netherlands. The Sixt team was great from step one. They are professional, considerate and a pleasure to do business with. Our car was broken into in Amsterdam and the team was also efficient and helpful in sorting out all our problems. I am positive that we will only use Sixt for car rental services in the future.

Friendly, helpful staff, clear and direct communication. Didnt make me feel like im dancing on thin ice as where they will come up with some dodgy added charges. Upon returning the vehicle, Bálint assured me that all is under control, and helped me get back to the terminal area. Highly recommended!
