  • Along with pre-booked rides, SIXT ride now also offers on-demand taxi services via Booking.com, currently being piloted in a few select European markets and cities

Pullach, 24 June 2021 – Digital and international: The expanded partnership between SIXT and Booking.com is making it easier for travellers to experience the world around them. Both pre-booked and on-demand SIXT rides are now available via the Booking.com app.

The international mobility provider SIXT, who offers one of the world’s largest platforms for modern mobility with its mobility platform ONE, and Booking.com, have already been cooperating successfully in Germany for several years through the provision of rental cars to travellers. The partnership has now grown to include SIXT ride’s pre-booked transfer and limousine services, which will be offered across Germany and internationally via the Booking.com platform. In addition, the on-going integration of SIXT ride also enables on-demand taxi services across Germany and in selected cities in France (Paris and Marseille) to provide even greater flexibility for travellers.

Ride services, both pre-booked and on-demand, are popular modes of transport for travellers, at a time when many prefer individual transportation options.  Rides also open up the greatest possible convenience and minimise any unnecessary contact when traveling in-trip.

Growing together in international markets

The strategic partnership between the two companies is part of SIXT’s long-term digitalisation and internationalisation strategy and reinforces SIXT ONE’s position as a leading mobility platform. The mobility provider is thus continuously developing its offering in the interests of its customers in order to make travel as convenient and easy as possible for them. The partnership with Booking.com will provide SIXT with an opportunity to engage with a diverse global audience of customers and to offer their mobility products at a relevant point in the traveller journey.

Consistent digitalisation of services

With the expansion of its portfolio on Booking.com, SIXT is giving its customers easy access to various mobility offers from their doorstep to their final destination. The pre-bookable transfer services and limousine services of SIXT ride are now offered via Booking.com not only in Germany but also in the United States as well as France, Italy, Slovakia, Great Britain and Benelux. In addition, SIXT ride’s on-demand taxi service is being gradually rolled out via Booking.com across Germany and in selected cities in France.

Together with its partners, SIXT ride offers ride services in around 250 cities and more than 60 countries worldwide.
