SIXT USA, a subsidiary of mobility company Sixt SE, has reached a milestone.

The rental car brand opened its 50th U.S. airport location at John Wayne Airport in Orange County, Calif., with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by SIXT leadership and local officials.

The new location gives SIXT, which launched its U.S. operations in 2011, a presence in 50 of the nation’s largest airports among its more than 100 locations in 25 states.

The company was founded in Munich, Germany in 1912 by Martin Sixt just three vehicles. SIXT currently operates more than 2,000 branches in more than 100 countries worldwide, generating some $3.68 billion in revenue and surpassing $1 billion in the U.S. in 2023.

Through the first nine months of 2024, the company said, revenues have grown more than 20 percent over the prior year.

“The opening of our 50th U.S. airport location underscores the successful growth of SIXT, and there is more to come,” SIXT North America president Tom Kennedy said. “Demand for our premium offerings is high, which demonstrates putting the customer at the center of everything we do has paid off.

“SIXT is dedicated to serving business and leisure travelers in the markets and destinations that matter most to them and our new John Wayne Airport branch and continued expansion across North America reinforces that commitment.”

John Wayne Airport director Charlene Reynolds said SIXT’s “commitment to quality and variety in transportation options enhances the experience for travelers in Orange County, adding convenience and style for both business and leisure guests. We look forward to a successful partnership that supports our dedication to providing exceptional service to all who travel through our airport.”

The new location join other recent branch openings at Houston’s Hobby Airport, Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport, Times Square and Williamsburg in New York, downtown Anaheim, Calif, Chicago’s Lincoln Park and downtown Minneapolis.
