We rented from Sixt at the Phoenix Airport for our vacation trip. We were offered an upgraded automobile. The upgrade price was more than fair; so we agreed. The process was quick and easy. The attendant was polite and knowledgeable. The return process was even faster. I highly recommend Sixt. We have used Enterprise most often, have used Budget and Hertz. We will rent from Sixt again for sure.

Sixt was able to accommodate from a compact car to a SUV when my height interfered with the vehicle to make sure I was more comfortable, free of charge. The vehicle was clean and came as imagined.
