We rented a car for two days to go visit the Chartres area. The people at Sixt were really helpful, kind, and they even upgraded our car. Great service, and easy pick up and drop off.
Giancarlo C.
5.0
Very satisfied with the service and with the car! Golden tip for returning the car during peak hours: a lot of people stop/park their cars close to the entrance of the Méditerranée Parking Garage, in a “queue” formation. Depending on the number of cars, it really looks like there’s a huge queue to enter the Parking Garage. Don’t get fooled by that! Just go around them, because the parking entrance is always clear. We’ve seen a queue that went as long as reaching the previous intersection and people were arguing there because it really messes up the traffic.
