Amazingly enough, there was no line and no customers at the Sixt car rental office on a residential side street near LaGuardia Airport on Thanksgiving Day. We sailed right in and right out. In minutes we were driving a very large GMC Acadia SUV. Not the compact car we reserved (or paid for) but very comfortable and clean.
This Sixt experience was a marked improvement over recent rentals with Budget during Thanksgiving, when we had to deal with painfully long lines and rigamarole. This is the second time in recent months that we have had an excellent experience with Sixt (the earlier time was October in Bari, Italy) so we will definitely be return customers if the price allows! Apparently sixt is a German company founded in 1912 and made a deal in 2020 with Lyft so people can use the Lyft app to rent a Sixt car.
I’m not the only happy camper.
