This is my 2nd hire at this Sixt location. Fabulous customer service & follow up (left some straps in the van last time and Adrian put them aside). Adrian makes you feel like you are the only customer they've got - very engaging & attentive. The efficient Sixt process & systems round off a no brainer 'go to' reason for van hire in my experience.
