21st consecutive record quarter: SIXT grows revenue in the key summer quarter by 11.8% and raises full-year guidance
Highlights: Five growth drivers
SIXT’s growth is built on five pillars in which the company has been investing for years:
Brand: Revenue via SIXT’s own digital channels such as the website sixt.com and the SIXT app grew significantly faster than the business as a whole; their share of revenue has risen further.- Technology: In 2026, SIXT is investing more than EUR 100 million in its technology platform and plans to increase investment further in 2027. The most visible result is the SIXT app: it is the fastest-growing booking channel, particularly in North America, and with the new SIXT Seamless Journey it accompanies customers seamlessly through their entire rental.
- Internationalisation: In Germany, its home market, SIXT grew by 11.1% to EUR 371.6 million in the third quarter. However, three quarters of the Group’s growth now comes from the international segments: the Europe segment alone grew by 14.7% to EUR 688.6 million in the third quarter, North America by 7.7% to EUR 416.8 million. SIXT thus generated almost three quarters of its revenue internationally; ten years ago it was only around 50%.
- Network: Within a year, SIXT has expanded its branch network in the Europe segment from 496 to 534 and in North America from 141 to 155 branches, most recently adding Trapani, Rimini and Reus as well as Dallas Love Field and Boise.
- Premium Vehicles: The share by value of premium vehicles in the fleet rose to 62% in the third quarter (Q3 2025: 55%). In the first nine months alone, more than 30,000 additional premium vehicles joined the SIXT fleet. These include new models such as the Audi Q6, BMW iX3 and Mercedes GLC.
SIXT Seamless Journey: technology investments are paying off
With the SIXT Seamless Journey, the SIXT app becomes a continuous companion throughout the rental, from booking to return. This is made possible by the in-house technology platform that connects booking, fleet, branch and service. For customers, this means:
- Everything in one place. Bookings from the app and from other channels are in the SIXT account. Driver’s licence and ID are stored digitally in advance; rebooking, cancelling, and adjusting extras and protection is possible at any time.
- No waiting, no searching. After online check-in, the app shows the way to the vehicle. Customers can choose their vehicle themselves. On return, the app guides them step by step to the return location, and confirmation arrives digitally.
- Everything in your own hands. Extending the rental, adding extras or changing the return location, all in the app. SIXT gets in touch by itself via WhatsApp or push notification when something is due, and answers questions directly.
For SIXT, every booking via the app is a direct booking that strengthens the customer relationship. App and customer are most closely connected through SIXT ONE. The rewards programme launched in the US a year ago and already has more than 2 million members globally. SIXT ONE members book via the app significantly more often and repeatedly, and a growing share of rentals already comes from them.
