Sixt SE and its U.S. Franchise Unit (Sixt Franchise USA, LLC) have announced the opening of a new branch in the Indianapolis Airport market.

This new location continues the U.S. expansion of Sixt’s franchise network.

“The franchise opening in Indianapolis greatly enhances the Sixt network in the U.S.,” said Ashley Panara, Sixt’s executive franchise manager. “Travelers flying into Indianapolis will enjoy renting a wide range of vehicles from economy cars through SUVs, minivans, and passenger vans.”

Tom Wood Group, the franchisee of the new Indianapolis branch, brings over five years of car rental experience, along with an extensive amount of experience in the dealership business.

Tom Wood Group owns and operates dealerships, including Porsche, Audi, Jaguar, Lexus, Volvo, Subaru, Ford, Toyota, Land Rover, Volkswagen, Nissan, and Honda in the Indianapolis market. With its new venture with Sixt, Tom Wood Group will start with a range of vehicles from hybrid cars to pickup trucks.

"We believe that incorporating Sixt’s premium car rental model into our collection will be beneficial to our future growth,” said Jeff Wood, president of Tom Wood Group. “We anticipate expansion here in Central Indiana and believe converting our existing car rental business to Sixt will enhance our operations.”
