Sixt USA officially announced the opening of two new U.S. locations on Feb. 28. The rental operator has opened locations at Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) and at Canada’s Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), further extending the company’s presence across North America.
These openings follow a series of several new locations in the U.S. last year, including Vail’s Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE), Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT), and Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI), with a new branch opening in Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) later this spring.
“As travel continues to pick up and consumers seek out new destinations, we are thrilled to continue expanding Sixt’s presence and offer our premium rental experience to travelers across North America," said Tom Kennedy, chief executive officer at Sixt USA in a statemennt. "The opening of Pittsburgh complements our branch network along the heavily traveled Northeast Coast corridor.”
About 12 years after Sixt expanded its business to the U.S., the country is now the largest individual market for the brand with 100 rental stations in 22 states and about 1,200 employees. It now serves 39 airports, and increased turnover in the U.S. by about 60% in the first nine months of 2022.
