This is a franchise location. Absolutely not up to Sixt standards. My second Sixt franchise experience. Both times terrible and absolutely no comparison to the usually very good "normal" Sixt product.
Please dear Mr. and Mrs. Sixt, stop franchising or make sure your franchisees more or less keep up to your company's usual standards!
On the Canary Islands I have had the same experience with Hertz. Avis appears to be the best franchise over there but still its better not to expect anything of a high standard for some reason...
