The staff were extremely helpful and supportive, the process of picking up and dropping off the car was very easy, this is our first time with sixt but compared to other providers they were better in every area.
Sixt is our car rental choice going forward.

We are an American family who spent two weeks in Ljubljana over the holidays. We rented an electric car from Sixt’s downtown location, and worked primarily with Jure Becan. We had never driven an electric car, never driven abroad. We needed clarification on everything from charging, parking, directions, billing—and Jure Becan helped us every step of the way, including nights, weekends, and holidays. We highly recommend Sixt, and Jure Becan in particular.

Pick up in the city centre was efficient and helpful. On returning the car to the airport we were surprised that the office staff did not want to check the car before we signed the paperwork and left. This is standard practice so that both parties agree no damage has been done - either during the trip or in the car park. After we insisted, the girl there reluctantly checked it but was obviously annoyed.

We had a completely fine experience with Sixt at the Ljubljana airport. The car was good, came to about 340 euros for 3 days with zero excess insurance, navigation and second driver. The deposit was 500 euros extra but this was returned within 24 hours.
There was a scratch on the car before hand, we videoed and showed the man at the desk who helped us and he said this was purely cosmetic. There was a friendly member of staff at the end who did a full walk around inspection of the car and confirmed all in good order and then gave us a document to sign to confirm this. This was very reassuring.
Reading other reviews always worries me, but I think it should convince you take out fully comped insurance. I'm sure most people who have done this have had no problems.

There was no hassle about insurance as my card covered it. They put a hold on my card but its wasn't put through. Agent was very helpful. We got and nice upgrade BMW for 4€ a day. However be warned that the airport not Sixt charges 10€ a day for premium location. That was 120€ extra that was not reflected in original invoice. You also pay 80€ to take out of the country. Sixt was good but I ended paying 120€ more than expected.
