I rented a car from Sixt for the weekend, as an English only speaker Lucy was really helpful. The location was why I chose that office. They had good availability of cars too. Drop off couldn't be easier. My sister lives nearby and frequently rents from this location.

I loved the electric car, it was a pleasure to drive and perfect for my needs (a Fiat 500e). However, the rental sales agent had tried to pursuade me to pay more to 'upgrade' to a petrol vehicle (for an extra 20 EUR per day!), and made some false claims about the electric car - that it may only cover 100km in range (actually it was good for 260km+), and cost 40 EUR to charge up (many times more than the reality). I ignored his bad advice. I understand he wanted to earn more from me, but I felt lied to. Sixt should be trying to encourage electric cars for the good of the planet, not mislead people into avoiding them.
Vehicle was given to me with 72% charge... it was fine for my needs on that day, but 100% charge was expected.

A great experience in Sixt Lyon 6 agency. Initially we ordered a low-end estate car with a mechanical gearbox. However, we had to go to the mountains and the winter tyres option was not available on that vehicle. We paid an extra €250 for winter tyres and got a free upgrade to an amazing BMW 3 Series wagon. I can definitely recommend this agency.
