Adriano is exceptional
Adriano at the Sixt office in Rovinj is the kindest, most helpful human ever. When we returned our car, he helped solve some issues we had from our website interactions, and offered to give us a ride to Old Town near where we were staying. He even offered some great restaurant recommendations for us. He was a Sixt agent and a travel agent all rolled into one. Much appreciated!
