In November, Sixt USA opened its newest location at Eagle County Regional Airport in Vail, Colo.
In the past year, Sixt has launched several branches across the U.S., including Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, Charlotte Douglas International Airport, Nashville International Airport, and Kauai Lihue International Airport.
Vail averages more than 1.6 million visits annually, with 2021 being one of the busiest years on record, according to Eagle County Regional Airport. The branch opening was timed with most ski resorts across Colorado officially opening their doors in early November.
“We are excited to continue our U.S. expansion by adding Vail to our growing network,” said Tom Kennedy, president and CEO at SIXT USA. “Vail has long been one of the most popular skiing destinations in the United States, and we are looking forward to offering our premium product and rental services to the thousands of skiers and vacationers alike that choose to travel through Eagle County Regional Airport.”
