Pullach, Germany – April 08, 2026 – SIXT, a leading global premium mobility provider, is expanding its international presence by entering a new partnership with ECOS Mobility & Hospitality Limited. ECOS is one of India’s leading mobility companies with a strong corporate client base and an established travel industry network. Through the partnership, ECOS will act as a General Sales Agent for SIXT’s international car rental services in India, making them more accessible to Indian corporate clients, business travelers, and travel agents when traveling abroad and seeking reliable, high-quality mobility services.
Through SIXT, Indian travelers gain seamless access to a global mobility network with more than 2,200 rental locations across over 100 countries, including strong coverage at major international airports. SIXT operates a global fleet of several hundred thousand vehicles and offers premium models from leading manufacturers such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and other premium brands. SIXT services can be booked through multiple channels, including direct reservations via the SIXT website or mobile app, as well as corporate and travel agency platforms facilitated by ECOS Mobility.
Rüdiger Proske, Senior Vice President International Franchise & Leisure Business at SIXT: “India is an important outbound travel market for international mobility services and continues to see strong growth in international travel. Through our partnership with ECOS Mobility, we are strengthening SIXT’s presence in India while making it easier for corporate and leisure travelers to access our global car rental network wherever they travel. The cooperation also reflects our international growth strategy to offer customers worldwide high-quality mobility services.”
The collaboration comes as international travel from India continues to grow rapidly. In 2025, around 32.7 million Indians traveled abroad, reflecting steadily rising outbound travel demand and highlighting India’s growing importance as a global source market for international tourism and business travel. Industry forecasts expect more than 50 million Indians to travel abroad annually by 2030, while the country’s outbound tourism market could grow from over USD 20 billion to more than USD 60 billion within the next decade, driven by rising incomes, improved international connectivity and a rapidly expanding middle class.
The collaboration complements SIXT’s broader international sales strategy, which includes working with local sales partners and teams in major outbound markets to connect global travelers with SIXT’s mobility services worldwide. Similar approaches are already in place in markets including China and Brazil, where outbound travelers increasingly rent vehicles when visiting destinations such as Europe and North America.
