Thank you Mark, at Southampton airport, for your reassuring patience when I was picking up the vehicle. You and your colleague were so friendly and helpful. You took my stressful situation in your stride and helped me through sorting out the mess of my 3rd party booking through Carjet.
The car was the perfect size, clean and (thanks to your colleague) warm and parked as close as it could be.
And thank you for the quick course in how to work a modern vehicle.
My advice: book directly with Sixt for quality customer service both in person and on their customer service helpline.
