SIXT expands to Canada
Car rental and mobility providers SIXT is accelerating its international growth strategy with entry expansion into the billion-dollar Canadian market.
The brand will open in Vancouver first, then Toronto, which are the country’s two largest car rental destinations.
SIXT will offer a higher percentage of premium and lower mileage vehicles, including BMWs and Mercedes-Benz.
Canadian branches will also soon offer digital counter-by-pass, which allow customers to not only bypass the counter but also pre-select the vehicle they want to reserve within two hours of pick-up.
The brand’s first Canadian branch will be located in downtown Vancouver’s Library Square.
“Expanding into Canada is a huge step for our business, and we are excited to bring the premium SIXT experience to our northern neighbors,” said Thomas C. Kennedy, President and Chief Financial Officer at SIXT North America.
The Canadian expansion follows the opening of several new locations across the US including Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT), Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI), Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG), Albuquerque International Sunport Airport (ABQ) and Portland International Airport (PDX).
Sixt is now located in 36 US airport markets with plans to expand to the top 50 markets.
In the US, SIXT has continued to expand operations with over 1,200 employees serving 100 rental locations in 23 states.
SIXT USA recently expanded its position as the fourth-largest car rental company in the US.
The brand has also enhanced the digital experience with the SIXT app, allowing users to rent, ride, subscribe, and in some parts of the world share rides, all in one app.
