Great and efficient. We arrived to Queenstown, booked the LR defender online branch lady helpful smiling and welcoming with good instructions how to get to the vehicle with a map. Drop off was smooth as well, their staff were in the car park to collect the keys so we could go straight to our flight without visiting branch again. Great job 👏

Hired a motor for my wedding and these guys are awesome! I booked online and it was a very smooth process. I did have additional questions because there was some minor issue with the app. I dealt with a lady called Sophie from the contact centre who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for us. Collecting the car at Queenstown Airport was easy with a friendly and helpful lady at the counter. We had an early departure so drop off was outside of hours but that was also a breeze. Very happy overall, will use these guys again when the opportunity presents. PS the Merc was fantastic to drive! Thank you SIXT

We hired 2 cars in Queenstown. The service was great from pick-up to drop off. We left 2 sunglasses in one of the car, called them the next day , they was able to check and got them in the post to us straight away.
