Eurorent, the owner of SIXT Polska, has finalized the acquisition of SIXT Slovakia, expanding its footprint in Central and Eastern Europe. With this acquisition, SIXT Polska is now responsible for operations in both Poland and Slovakia, marking a significant step in the company’s regional growth strategy.
The transaction, completed in September 2024, is a strategic expansion for Eurorent, allowing SIXT to enhance its mobility services to meet the evolving demands of international customers. The acquisition strengthens SIXT’s market leadership in mobility solutions across Central and Eastern Europe, reinforcing its ability to provide innovative and flexible rental services across borders.
“The acquisition of SIXT Slovakia is a key milestone in our expansion strategy for Central and Eastern Europe,” said Łukasz Żurek, President of SIXT Polska. “By combining our expertise in both markets, we can better leverage synergies and introduce new solutions that meet customer expectations. After analyzing the first quarter of our operations in Slovakia, we already see positive results in both operational efficiency and our service offering. We are closely monitoring customer preferences in Slovakia and Poland to tailor our services to the unique characteristics of each market.”
SIXT Polska highlighted that this strategic expansion creates new opportunities for fleet management and customer service in the region. By analyzing consumer behavior in both countries, the company aims to adjust its offerings to match local demand more effectively.
Market data reveals notable differences in rental behavior between the two countries. In Poland, nearly 89% of customers return their rental cars within the country, whereas in Slovakia, cross-border rentals dominate. In fact, 61% of Slovakian customers return their vehicles abroad, with Vienna being the most popular destination, accounting for 33% of all cross-border bookings.
The integration of operations in Poland and Slovakia also allows SIXT to better manage seasonal fluctuations in demand, optimize costs, and improve operational efficiency across both markets.
As part of the global SIXT network, which operates in over 4,000 locations across 105 countries, SIXT Polska provides a wide range of car rental services, including short-term and long-term rentals as well as premium limousine services with chauffeurs. The company has been present in Poland since 2002, building a strong reputation in the car rental sector.
With the integration of SIXT Slovakia, SIXT Polska is set to expand its influence in the region, offering greater flexibility and enhanced services to its customers across Central and Eastern Europe.
