UK Car hire firm, Sixt, has announced the launch of its services from the Abu Dhabi International Airport.

The launch of the new outlet means that passengers can now access world-class car rental services with the benefits of pre-booking using their website from anywhere in the world.

Sixt, which has over 4,000 stations worldwide, already has two existing outlets in the UAE; one in Sharjah and one in Dubai.

Malcolm Cooper, manager for Sixt’s car rental services said that growing demand from tourists, business travellers and new expatriates is providing new opportunities in Abu Dhabi.

He went on to say that business has grown rapidly in the past decade and the launch of the first Abu Dhabi branch forms a part of Sixt’s core part of their plans.

Customers will be able to choose from available vehicles including a range from compact economy cars, through to full size and luxury vehicles.  The company will also maintain a range of special purpose vehicles such as four-wheel drives and SUV units.

Mr Cooper said that he is looking forward to providing travellers to Abu Dhabi with an easy-to-use and hassle free rental experience, and offer affordable and reliable vehicles.
