At the same time, Sixt started operating their Škoda Limousine Service for Škoda Auto, for which it received personal praise from the CEO of Škoda Auto for the professional behavior and perfect driving of Sixt drivers. A similar compliment came from the Police of the Czech Republic, especially with the emphasis on high experience and evaluation of the best trained drivers for driving in convoys of diplomatic vehicles in Sixt.

SIXT's market share in Germany is almost 40%. Owned on the Czech market by private individuals and the company Speed ​​Lease a.s.

2015

The expansion hit the USA, the first open branch in Miami, Florida was launched with an initial fleet of 300 cars at one branch. Sixt had the same number for the whole of the Czech Republic at the same time. SIXT LEASING is expanding and for this reason a major franchisor in Italy has lost its license and Italy has become a new corporate country and not only a leasing team is being built, but all branches in the new SIXT open space style are being reconstructed or built quickly.

SIXT and BMW have established a joint venture Drive Now - the only profitable carsharing operated in Berlin, Munich, San Francisco and other cities.

A new MyDriver product was introduced as a cheaper alternative to Sixt Limousine Service, even for the Czech Republic.

2018

Sixt CR has been on the market for 20 years. It was the first of three initial franchises personally signed by the Sixt family, and the expansion in the Czech Republic was not long in coming. Czech Sixt re-enters Slovakia with its business activities, which it sold the franchise in 2005. This time the rental is still operated by a former subfranchant, but the franchisee for operating leases (SIXT LEASING brand) is provided directly by Sixt ČR (Speed ​​Lease Slovakia s.r.o. - SIXT LEASING SLOVAKIA). The aim of such a step is to provide Czech-Slovak companies with the care they are already accustomed to, especially from the Czech Republic, and to facilitate the management of the company's car fleet when entering the Slovak market.

2019

For the first time in history, the Czech SIXTt fleet includes Chevrolet Camaro cars (at the time it was the only model of its type in the Czech territory) for rent just at Sixt. Another addition is the RANGE ROVER or MASERATI Levante, and other premium brands are planned. Sixt thus confirms its strategy of being a premium car rental company for ordinary people as well. Do not only offer cars, but also offer an experience for comparable money. QUALITY HAS A FUTURE - is the motto by which Sixt in the Czech Republic tries to draw attention to lingering values..

2020

Sixt strengthens the electronic and digitization of branch operations to make it easier for customers to meet their requests. The global crisis with COVID 19 from government regulations ordered the closure of the stone branches of the rental company, as well as in connection with the closure of state borders and airspace over the Czech Republic, the SIXT branch in Ruzyně has been closed which still needs to travel, and Sixt has meanwhile successfully strengthened its role as carsharing and operating leasing.
