Sixt New Zealand will be welcoming its customers in Auckland, Christchurch, Queenstown, and Wellington starting from December 1. Additional branches in major cities and at the relevant airports across New Zealand are planned.

The car subscription allows customers to explore flexible car usage options of six, nine, or 12 months with a brand-new vehicle that best suits their individual mobility needs. Benefitting from the close ties to the Giltrap Group, the vehicle fleet comprises European and Japanese premium vehicles from compacts and limousines to SUVs, all-wheel drive, luxury sport vehicles, and electric vehicles.
