Sixt Rent-a-Car, the global mobility provider with more than 2,200 locations in over 100 countries, is renowned around the world for offering customers “drive first class, pay economy,” a unique blend of premium vehicles, white glove customer service, and competitive pricing.
Celebrated in Europe for its bold advertising style, the fast-growing rental car brand — already #4 after just seven years in the U.S. — brought its signature approach to the U.S. for the very first time in New York City, turning the Big Apple’s iconic 6th Avenue into “Sixt” Avenue for a day.
