WHY IT RATES: Travel agents and advisors working with clients traveling to Hawaii now have another car rental option in Maui.-Donald Wood, Breaking News Senior Writer.


Sixt is on an expansion course in the USA: The international mobility service provider has opened its first Hawaiian station on Maui island and thus expanded its presence to one of the world's most beautiful and popular holiday destinations.

Travelers can pick up their dream vehicle directly at Maui Kahului Airport and explore the island's special sights, including the Road to Hana, the famous whaler and plantation city Lahaina, the south coast with Ma'alaea Bay or the old sugar cane city with the coral reef Spartan Reef.

With the launch in Maui, Sixt is also bringing its proven premium services to the Hawaiian Islands. This includes consistent customer service as well as a fleet of high-quality vehicles that covers all mobility needs on the island. For example, travelers can choose from a wide range of convertibles or SUVs from renowned brands such as Jeep or Mercedes-Benz.

Sixt sees a high demand for its products and services in Hawaii and is already planning on opening branches in Honolulu and Waikiki.

Successful expansion in the USA

The launch in Maui marks the latest step in Sixt's successful US expansion. With its premium strategy, the mobility service provider has a special position in the American market and has developed into the country's fourth-largest car rental company since the start in 2011.

Sixt currently has 54 branches, including 20 of the top airports in the United States. The mobility service provider is strongly represented in Miami, Orlando and Los Angeles airports, which are among the five largest airports in the global Sixt network.

In recent months, Sixt has opened several new branches in important travel destinations. Including branches in the San Antonio Airport, Philadelphia Airport, Denver Airport, Union Square in San Francisco, Chicago O'Hare Airport and Battery Park in New York City.

Award-winning premium services

Sixt's premium services have already received several awards in the USA. Most recently, the mobility service provider was honored with the World Travel Awards as the country's Leading Car Rental Company and the Trazee Award for the Most Popular Car Rental Company Among Millennials.

Detlev Patsch, Chief Operations Officer (COO) at Sixt SE: "Sixt in the USA-that is a special success story. We are putting the pedal to the metal and offering our premium services to more and more travelers at the country's popular travel destinations. We will continue on this course in 2019. The branch in Maui is of particular importance because the Hawaiian islands are some of the most important and most beautiful tourist destinations in the world."
