  • Traffic Tickets: If you receive a traffic ticket, you must pay the fine to the officer, so it’s important to carry a means of payment with you just in case.

We rented a car on November and picked it up and returned at PDL airport. We had a really good experience with SIXT. No hidden charges and return is flawless, the guy who checked the car and explained to us the detail charge it will be.
