I generally only ever use Sixt. Cost is higher than some but they have a high level of customer service, excellent fleet and no dodgy car salesman approach. I know what I am getting with Sixt and I happily pay a little bit more for peace of mind and great customer service.

Great service and pick up location, loved that the rental counter was right at the arrival area and was greeted warmly and served professionally by Sonia at the check in counter. The car location is at the adjacent multistory carpark and return was pretty hassle free as well at the same location. It would be good if there are more signs at the airport on how to get to the sixt return area. We arrived around 6am to return and was able to drop our keys in the drop off box which was great - received an email shortly after that return was complete! We also ordered an infant seat which we were told to pick up from a staff at the carpark. The seats were cleaned and wrapped in plastic cover but it would be so much better if the staff could help with the installation of the infant seats / if the seats are already installed upon your arrival.. after all the reservation was made months in advance. Aside from that, everything was great - and car was in good condition!
