We were very satisfied with the on-site service. The Sixt team (at Olbia airport) was very helpful and friendly. After leaving the airport, the Sixt branch can be reached quickly and easily.
We especially thank Marco for the nice rental car and the quick help after our damage, he was wonderful. Thank you very much!
