Car rental provider Sixt announced in a statement the brand’s expansion to the Canadian market, accelerating its international growth across North America. The brand’s first Canadian branch will be located in downtown Vancouver’s Library Square. Following Vancouver, Sixt will soon open in Toronto.
Sixt brings to Canada a higher percentage of premium and lower mileage vehicles, including BMWs and Mercedes-Benz. Canadian branches will offer digital counter-by-pass, which allows customers to bypass the counter and pre-select the vehicle they want to reserve within two hours of pick-up.
The Canadian expansion follows the opening of several new locations across the U.S. including Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT), Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI), and Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG).
