Paid for a three week car rental through Expedia - from the 30th September until today, the 19th October. Bearing mind it is a peak time - I played around with the dates to find a better deal and opted for a manual compact SUV for €271. Very reasonable! Upon check in, two ladies were infront and they were charged last minute for a Fiat convertible (little did they know it would be raining the next day..) for a 1 or 2 day rental at €160. I found this price to be quite high but again, they didn’t pre book. For my booking, it turned out that there weren’t many cars available at all, so, I was given a Peugeot 308 GT automatic. I didn’t take out the optional extra insurance for no other reason than I was in a very safe area as well as being a safe driver. Having read some previous reviews on here, it worried me a lot that maybe I might be charged for even a simple scratch that could have been missed upon inspection of the car. So, I had done a recorded video of the car before leaving. Anyway, 3 weeks later and I’ve taken the car back which was very easy and straightforward. The check out guy was thorough as he should be, and all was fine - since the car was well taken care of anyway :) he had done a great job and was very welcoming and kind. Overall, great place, very friendly workers. The first man on the desk to check me in for the car, unfortunately I can’t remember his name, but he was very nice, and wore a nice gold plated watch - the system was running slow and so we had to redo the check in process but I could tell he enjoyed his job and deserves a raise Sixt :) very welcoming and efficient. I will be returning as I need another rental and so won’t hesitate to come back. Thank you :)

We were recommended sixt by a friend, but after seeing some of these negative reviews we will admit we were a little anxious. Pick up went fine, the lady in the Lisbon centre was super friendly and gave us some great coffee recommendations. The car was very tidy, very fuel efficient and a pleasure to drive. Once we dropped our car off, we were helped straight away by Andre and Diana who had it all sorted for us within the hour with no issues whatsoever. Maybe the people in these reviews didn’t look after their cars!

Great rental car service in the Algarve region! Check in with Diana was very easy and she explained everything about the car and rental conditions in great detail. Picking up and dropping off the car with Sandiego was also efficient and effortless. Thank you both for your help!
