My experience as excellent overall: a short ride by sky train from terminal, no waiting, nice clean, new car (Chevy Traverse - which is huge but apparently “mid size SUV) - for both pickup and drop off. The only reason I have 4 stars was a slight discrepancy between the price I paid through booking.com and Sixt charged my card - apparently it was a “broker fee” but neither side were transparent about this whilst booking! Probably more booking.com issue than Sixt and if so I will revise to 5 stars later once I have confirmed this

the agent that assisted me here was Kasey. I walked in expecting a Tahoe but was a bit disappointed that I couldn’t get one. He understood my frustration and worked with me. Got me inside a Yukon instead and turns out it was much better than what I was expecting. Locked in a good rate and i was able to hit the road on time! Definitely worth the look in if any other rental company is giving you issues in the neighborhood. Thank you!

Sixth at JFK is a spectacular rental location. I been renting here for the past few months under my first name Robert C. Rivers. This by far was my best experience thanks to Ravvi-Manager. Ravvi took really good care of me. He gave me one of his top BMW 7 series as a upgrade which was very kind of him. Ravvi also made my experience delightful as he briefly gave me a description about the pros& cons about the vehicle. He also help me saved money with getting a toll pass. Ravvi was kind professional knowledgeable about his job but also had a very good sense of humor. Sixth is in great hands with Ravvi. I hope I can get Ravvi assistance during my next rental which is next month.
