4.0

The desk in the terminal was very helpful and quick with processing the booking. The Sixt parking area is close to the terminal. The staff at the parking area were not helpful. I had to check and verify the damage report, and the fuel was meant to be full but was well below full.

I recently rented a car from SIXT and had a fantastic experience. From start to finish, the service was professional and efficient. The booking process was straightforward, and the staff at the office were friendly and helpful. The vehicle I received was in pristine condition, well-maintained, and exactly what I needed for my trip. The pick-up and drop-off procedures were smooth and hassle-free. I especially appreciated the clear instructions and transparent pricing. Overall, I highly recommend SIXT for anyone in need of a reliable and stress-free car rental. I will definitely be using their services again in the future. Thank you for a great experience!

5.0

Sixt, Palermo Airport, Sicily: Quick and efficient to pickup car at arrival. We even got a nice upgrade. No trouble returning the car. I have multiple very bad experiences with different car rental companies (even reputable) in Southern Europe, so our experience with Sixt NOT trying to scam us was very nice for once :) Highly recommended.
