Great service at rome airport.

Syed J.

Upon arrival in Rome, I Googled rental car companies in the area and found one with a high number of positive reviews. I promptly visited the location and was greeted by friendly and knowledgeable staff who assisted me in every step of the rental process. The quoted price was even better than what I had found online.

During my 8-day rental, the experience was seamless and I received a courtesy call the day prior to the return to ensure everything was satisfactory. On the day of return, I was even given extra time and the process was efficient and without surprises. The staff member, Vanessa, was exceptional in her customer service, going above and beyond by following up and returning a forgotten item.

I am extremely satisfied with the service provided and would highly recommend this rental car company to others.

Kristian V.

I was happy with the rent.

I received the final invoice and the rest of the rent was deducted from my account, Sixt still have not refunded my deposit amount which was higher than the rest amount and it is very disturbing that Sixt draws more funds from my account and still did not return my deposit.

Marco S.
