Sixt announces expansion in Italy

Sardinia is the latest Italian destination to become home to the car hiring company, Sixt.

As Sixt looks to expand across Europe, it has announced plans to open offices on the island of Sardinia. An office in the airport on the island’s capital city, Cagliari, is already open in time for the summer rush. A second office in Olbia in the north of the island is set to open in the next few days.

Sardinia is an ideal destination for Sixt as it attracts thousands of visitors every year. It is also a relatively easy island to drive around and only the cities tend to have any traffic. The drives are also beautifully scenic, making it a popular place to hire a car and drive around for a few days.

Sixt will offer customers a number of different models from BMW and MINI to deliver a high-quality driving experience around the island. There will be models from the entire fleet offered by Sixt, including city cars, convertibles and SUVs. This diverse offering gives customers the kind of experience they want, which can make a huge difference to their holiday. They are all resilient, sporty and premium models, ensuring a top-quality performance.

Sixt is only offering these two car brands as part of its commitment to the pair having been partnered for a number of years. It is confident that customers will find models between the two ranges to make their trip to Sardinia more enjoyable, whether they need something small for getting around the city or want to try something more adventurous for driving along the coast.

With a mission to offer more freedom and flexibility for people around the world, Sixt is more than simply a car rental organisation. Customers can also rent taxi services and drivers, so even if they can’t drive themselves, they can enjoy the freedom of private transport. It currently has more than 238,700 cars around the world, offered by both its franchise and co-operation partners. There are offices delivering car hire and other transport services in more than 105 countries worldwide.
