Sixt Opens Rent A Car Facility at London Gatwick Airport
Sixt moved from its previous location near the airport to make it easier for travelers to rent a vehicle directly at London Gatwick Airport.
Sixt Rent A Car announced Jan. 8 the opening of its new location at the London Gatwick Airport this month. The airport facility is Sixt’s 15th location in London.
Renters will have access to economy, luxury, SUVs and vans from brands such as Aston Martin, BMW, Citroen, Ferrari, Ford, Mercedes and Rolls Royce.
The facility opened at the second largest airport in London on Jan. 1. Sixt previously operated near Gatwick, but the company said it wanted to move into the airport to make it easier for travelers to rent a vehicle.
“Our goal is to make it as simple as possible for businesses and holiday makers to have access to a range of high quality, well specified vehicles backed by unparalleled service at affordable prices,” said Paul McLoughlin, managing director of Sixt Rent A Car UK.
