The technology stack centers on a direct-to-consumer online reservation platform (sixt.com.tr), a mobile application with quick and mobile check-in, self-service kiosks at airport branches, the SIXT BusinessRental corporate portal for enterprise account management, and the SIXT+ subscription platform. The booking infrastructure connects to SIXT SE's global platform, providing inbound tourists and corporate clients cross-border vehicle access. A four-tier loyalty program (SIXT Express, Gold, Platinum, and Corporate cards) offers up to 10-15% discounts and integrates with airline frequent flyer programs (Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles, Lufthansa, Emirates, Qatar, Air France/KLM) and hotel loyalty programs (Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott, Kempinski, Best Western).

The business model is transactional and subscription-based rental revenue, with over 40% of the corporate fleet composed of premium brands (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, VW, Ford) elevating per-rental revenue. GTM is multi-channel: direct-to-consumer via web and call center; enterprise field sales via a dedicated corporate team; and channel partners including authorized travel agencies (TURSAB members), airlines, hotels, banks, and corporations through the SIXT Cooperation Programme. Ancillary revenue comes from insurance add-ons (Top Cover, Mini Damage, Super Mini Damage, Mega Mini Damage), extra-driver fees, fuel service charges, HGS toll processing, extra-kilometer packages, child seats, and traffic fine processing. Customer satisfaction, per on-site survey, is reported at 5.0 across 10 reviews.
