This was a super easy rental car experience. From booking, to payment, to picking up the car, to dropping it off -- everything was smooth and efficient. Communications with the Sixt representatives at Koh Samui airport was very helpful. The car was clean and came without issue. I would definitely rent with Sixt again!
