Amazing customer service! Great prices, new vehicles, shuttle service from the airport and 2 awesome employees. I felt very welcomed and It was probably one of the best renting experiences I have had (even comparing to other Sixt locations abroad). Well done!!

When you think about cars, you think about Germany. So Sixt is the only car rental agency I trust in Uruguay. Great cars (ok, ok, not only German), great service, likeable personnel. And very competitive prices. What I like most is that I can trust the team at Sixt - something you cannot say about everybody in the car rental industry. After many rentals, Diego, Gonzalo & Team are a 10/10 for me.
