Remon was very polite and respectful. Shoutout to him for making my life easy and making the process smooth.
Saeid. S was polite, friendly and helpful in the return process of the car. He showed me how to direct my Uber pickup into the rental so I don’t have to walk much

Booked a rental through Sixt after Avis next door stood me up. Michael and team were extremely helpful during the check-out process and helped get a car on time despite having made the booking only a few minutes ago. The car itself was clean and wonderful to drive. At drop-off, Saeid quickly helped with ensuring everything was good to go and I was on my way within minutes.
