FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – SIXT USA, a subsidiary of Sixt SE – a global leader in premium mobility services – announced the opening of its newest car rental branch today at William P. Hobby Airport (HOU).
Located at 7979 Airport Blvd., Houston, Texas 77061, this new branch will offer a premium fleet featuring a diverse selection of standard and luxury coupes, sedans, and SUVs. Customers can choose various vehicles to suit their needs, preferences, and budgets, a news release said.
The opening solidifies SIXT’s presence in Texas where it now operates eight car rental branches in the state’s largest cities including Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio, a news release said.
“We are excited to announce the opening of our second airport location in Houston at Hobby Airport, which served 14 million passengers in 2023,” said Tom Kennedy, President, SIXT North America. “This new branch brings our total to four locations in this dynamic city. Houston, known for its rich history, iconic landmarks and foothold in the energy and tech business landscapes, is an important hub for business and leisure travelers alike.

The new Houston location joins a growing list of recent branch openings including Milwaukee International Airport, Kansas City International Airport, Tucson International Airport, Washington D.C. Union Station, Denver Cherry Creek, Miami Doral, Westin Boston Seaport, and Jersey City Newport Centre, among others.

“At William P. Hobby Airport, North America’s first and only 5-star airport, our commitment to excellence in service and passenger experience remains unwavering. Welcoming Sixt Rental Car to our facility aligns perfectly with the mission and vision of Houston Airports—to connect the people, businesses, cultures, and economies of the world to Houston,” said Francisco Cuellar, Chief Commercial Development Officer for Houston Airports. “As Hobby Airport continues to grow and welcome more passengers, it’s crucial that we partner with companies like Sixt that offer safe and reliable vehicles as passengers navigate every corner of the Houston region for business or pleasure.”
