Sixt’s vice president of North American operations Craig Olson said in a statement that Tampa is one of America’s top travel destinations. He went on to add that interest in the Sixt franchise network has been very strong throughout the US and that agreements have recently been signed in several exciting new locations, notably Las Vegas.

The company has opened numerous US locations since its initial launch in North America last year; outlets currently in operation include Phoenix, Orlando, Seattle, West Palm Beach, Miami and Fort Lauderdale.
