The drop and pickup cars has no access to people, you have to go same way same road as the cars. The parking is mixed with other boxes like logistic store I couldn’t reach other garage without guidance of worker. But besides that everything was great with the car quality, people sympathies, information in advance! Thanks to Sixt!
