Car rental provider Sixt announced the opening of new branches in Charlotte and Baltimore, strengthening its network on the East Coast. Last week, the mobility provider opened its Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) location, and recently celebrated the opening of its Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) branch in March 2022.
This follows the opening of three new locations across the country including Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG), Albuquerque International Sunport Airport (ABQ), and Portland International Airport (PDX) at the end of last year. In addition, Sixt invested in the Tampa market by doubling its footprint at Tampa International Airport (TPA).
“As travel continues to boom, we are growing SIXT USA’s presence across the East Coast to offer consumers premium rentals at affordable prices, at these major hubs,” said Michael Meissner, president and chief operating officer at Sixt USA. “Charlotte and Baltimore have so much to offer, from their culinary scenes to the incredible festivals they host, and we’re thrilled to equip visitors with the best vehicles to enhance their experiences while exploring these destinations.”
