SIXT Egypt

What SIXT Egypt does

SIXT Egypt is a premium car rental franchise operator in Egypt, established in 2003 and powered by Abou Ghaly Motors, an established Egyptian automotive group that serves as the controlling strategic parent. The company operates 27+ branches across all major Egyptian airports (Cairo T2/T3, Sphinx, Borg El Arab, Sharm El Sheikh, Hurghada, Marsa Alam, Luxor, Aswan), city hubs (Citystars, Obour City, Maadi, Mohandessin, Smouha), and resort destinations (El Gouna, North Coast, Sahl Hasheesh). Its fleet spans 8+ international brands including Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Nissan, Jeep, Peugeot, Geely, Alfa Romeo, and Subaru, positioning it in the premium/luxury tier of the Egyptian rental market.

The core technology is an online booking platform (outbound.sixt.aboughalymotors.com) integrated with the SIXT global reservation system, enabling customers to book internationally while paying in Egyptian pounds and accessing standard SIXT products such as Full Insurance (150 USD maximum deductible) and Top Cover (50% deposit reduction). A dedicated corporate registration portal handles B2B account setup in under two minutes. Distribution is omnichannel: physical branches at airports and city hubs, the e-commerce booking site, a corporate business portal, and a call center reachable at 17277.

Revenue is generated through three streams: transaction-based vehicle rental (daily and weekly pricing by vehicle class), insurance/protection upsells, and corporate discount subscriptions under the SIXT Plus program. Primary customer segments are tourists and leisure travelers (airport transfers, sightseeing, beach resort travel) and business/corporate travelers (corporate accounts, fleet mobility solutions), with international renters as a secondary segment. Marketing is executed through the corporate website, Instagram, and the online booking funnel. The company participated in the SIXT World Conference 2025 in Munich, signaling ongoing franchise alignment with the global SIXT network.
