Kay at the front desk is amazing! I showed up late to my rental (didn’t realize you have to be on time, different than airport car rental). And she really hooked it up. When I told her I was moving she put me in a bigger (and super nice) car. Amazing customer service

Hi.
I always use the services of your company and am very satisfied. The location where I take New York City Battery Park cars, the employees of the company in this office are very professional, friendly and will always pick up the right car. I wanted to thank the girl who works at the reception desk. Very high level of service. The cars of this company are always clean, new and comfortable. I am very satisfied with the price, quality and reliability of this company. And I will confidently rate the company SIXT 5 stars!!!!

If you are looking to not only rent a car, but also a 5 star ⭐️ experience, then you better come here. I have been coming to Sixt Battery Park for a while now, but I truly had the best experience today. THE Deborah and Romario not only were super fast and efficient, they made my trip special by putting a smile on their face, being kind, and making sure I had a great car. Always coming back to Sixt, especially to this location.

I was with my friends, renting a car. We were helped by Ricardo from the Sixt team. Very friendly, very helpful and polite. There was an issue with our credit cards which lasted almost an hour until it got solved. Ricardo patiently helped us throughout the whole process and in the end he promoted our car type for free. I guess because we spent that much time there. A very nice gesture, we were super happy for that. Thanks Ricardo!!
