We have been going on vacation to Europe since 2009.
We rented cars all the time.
We were satisfied with the rental of the SIXT, the car was provided even better than ordered, at the same price. Rental services are also at a high level.

Helpful and efficient team at airport desk. Car a quick walk away in multi storey carpark. It costs more to rent on the Swiss side compared to renting on the French side but it does mean that you can get to the airport without having to drive through the centre of Geneva or run the risk of driving on the Swiss motorway without a vignette ( eventually your luck will run out...).
No idea why the Swiss authorities think that it is better to force car rentals on French side of the airport to drive through the centre of Geneva especially as most of those renting are driving in and out of France and unlikely to drive on the wider Swiss motorway network rather than the few kilometres on the motorway section to the airport. Surely creates more pollution and traffic

I'd say SIXT do not try to catch you on some mistake (and to earn on it) as some of competitors. They provide sustainably good level of service to make the client happy and returning. I respect and appreciate it a lot. Thank you for your service!

Very efficient service.
Kevin was very helpful when I picked the car up and drop off was very easy too. They were busy, but I just dropped the key and I had the receipt with no damage or extra charges before I reached CheckIn desks

We had a great BMW, smooth collection. I messed up by not entering P51 on level 1 but the Sixt man from Basel went above and beyond helping me return the car and catch my flight with my family! Thank you so much. I have now saved the pin on my maps for level 1 entry for any future trips! Thanks
