SIXT: a global family business
Sixt was created in 1912 by Martin Sixt. At first, the idea was to offer daily rental packages and this service was mainly aimed at English noble families or rich Americans at the time. And that's how the adventure began with three Mercedes.
In 1951, the "Auto Sixt" car rental concept was launched and the fleet expanded and diversified (commercial vehicles...). Agencies are located in strategic locations such as airports and railway stations. Partnerships with airlines and hotel chains are being set up to ensure that customers benefit as much as possible from them.
In France, Sixt has been present since 1997 and continues to grow internationally. The objective is to be present in as many countries as possible to be as close as possible to its customers. Thus, whether they are in Europe, North America or Australia, Sixt is there to listen to them. The company's philosophy is to be always at the forefront of innovation and avant-garde.
Booking services are constantly evolving to simplify the procedure as much as possible and save a lot of time. All this of course in a personalised way to establish a relationship of proximity and trust. A century-old experience and know-how that the company puts to the benefit of its customers.
