Walser will open a Sixt rent a car franchise to service Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, as well as open additional Sixt franchise locations in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.

FT. LAUDERDALE, FLA. – Sixt SE and its U.S. Franchise Unit (Sixt Franchise USA LLC) announce the signing of a franchise agreement with Walser Automotive Group. Walser will open a Sixt rent a car franchise to service Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, as well as open additional Sixt franchise locations in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.  

“Sixt is thrilled to have Walser join the Sixt franchise system. Walser has consistently strived to revolutionize the customer experience they provide in all facets of their business, and is a progressive dealer group with a strong presence in Minnesota for over fifty years. This provides a solid foundation for expansion of the Sixt franchise network into the state,” commented Craig Olson, Executive Vice President of North America Franchise Development for Sixt. “Large dealership groups like Walser are a great fit for the Sixt franchise system, as their core strengths can be leveraged to maximize the potential of the car rental business.”

“We believe that incorporating Sixt’s premium car rental model into our existing portfolio of businesses will be of great benefit to our operations,” commented Paul Walser, CEO of Walser Automotive Group. “Expanding our business into the airport and downtown car rental market is a priority for us and it’s great to be part of a fast-growing franchise system like Sixt. We look forward to growing our network of Sixt locations as the Sixt network expands throughout the US.”

Car dealership owners, independent rental car operators, and entrepreneurs are great candidates for Sixt franchises.

In the U.S., Sixt is represented in twelve states, with franchisees already operating locations in eight of those states. Sixt also operates corporate branches in Los Angeles, Miami, Ft.
