If you come to DCA Sixt there’s a good chance you can meet someone who will care about your experience and help you to meet your needs. Overall as a brand Sixt is super cool and I can say my second ever experience which was last minute was solid. Give Sixt a try they are not like the older brands. I learned today the brand is German hence majority of the fleet being German cars. Can’t beat that

I had an amazing experience working with Rigo and Rochdi at SIXT. Their professionalism, efficiency, and friendly attitude made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. They went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed, answered all my questions with patience, and provided exceptional customer service from start to finish. I highly recommend their services and I’ve already decided to return again before even my current booking is over. Thanks again, Rigo and Rochdi, for your outstanding help!
