We were in and our very quikly and everything went as smoothly as it possibly could. Our rental agent was great...courteous, knowledgeable but not pushy. I highly recommend.

Michael W.

5.0

The rental process was quick and excellent. The lady at the reception and the lady at the return where both professional and friendly. The efficiency and short time of both delivery and return process are worth noting. They did not have the Station car we have reserved, so the lady at the rental desk looked carefully for options and gave us an upgrade Estate that suited perfectly our needs including 4WD that avoided the need of carrying chains or ski rack. Yes, some reviews are correct that you have to walk about 100 mts to the delivery point and that you have to know the return point which is different form the delivery, but the directions they gave us with a little map and the exact address of the return garage entry, which has clear SIXT signs, where perfect and the whole process was easy. I will consider renting again from this station in Munich.
