I needed a car for a trip with my family, and I was very lucky to go to the SIXT. Sebastian offered me a great new Volvo hybrid, and we drove through all the planned locations in 4 days with a full tank. A great comfortable car and a great recommendation. I got the car quickly, although I speak English very poorly, but there were no difficulties. Thanks Excellent service, I recommend it.
