Sixt, a global mobility provider, announced on Oct. 12 the continued growth of its U.S. network with the opening of a new location at Nashville International Airport (BNA), with operations beginning immediately.
The company's Nashville expansion follows the opening of three new locations in the U.S. earlier this year, including Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI), Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT), and Kauai Lihue Airport (LIH). Sixt also recently opened a Canadian location near Vancouver International Airport in Richmond, British Columbia, which follows the opening of SIXT’s first Canadian branch in Library Square in Vancouver.
“We are thrilled to expand our Sixt network to Nashville International Airport, bringing our premium product and service to leisure and business renters in the Nashville market,” said Tom Kennedy, CEO at Sixt USA. “With the addition of Nashville, we are now in 37 of the top 50 airports in the U.S.”
Sixt also launched its digital checkout service, which will be featured in Nashville and allows customers to bypass the counter. Customers who download the Sixt app can select their specific vehicle within two hours prior to pick up, grab the key at the key booth, and go.
Nashville, the “Music City,” is one of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S, with June 2022 airport passengers of 1.83 million – the highest in its history.
