Update article
Dear all,

I would like to suggest updating the article as some information is outdated and some important information missing as described in detail below.

Please note that I have a financial conflict of interest as I am being paid by Sixt. Therefore, I will not make any edits myself but hope that uninvolved editors could review my suggestions and make changes if they find them appropriate.

You can find my suggestion in my user space User:Conandcon/Sixt all backed by sources there. Here is also a  so that you can see my suggested changes vs. the current article. I am also very happy to go through this subsection by subsection if this is easier!

Detailled description of proposed updates

Introduction:
 * Sixt is no longer only a car rental company as it offers additional services such as carsharing and ride-hailing. Therefore, I would like to suggest changing the description "a multinational car rental company" to "an international mobility service provider". This has also been described by Germany's leading business newspaper Handelsblatt - here. "Sixt ist kein Autovermieter mehr, sondern ein weltweit agierender Mobilitätskonzern, der im Plattformgeschäft mitspielt. Unter einem Dach werden Mietautos, Carsharing und Fahrdienste vermittelt." Translation: "Sixt is no longer a car rental company, but a globally active mobility group that plays a role in the platform business. Car rental, car sharing and driving services are all brokered under one roof."
 * Correct the number of locations from 5,000 to 2,100 and update the number of countries from "over 105" to "approximately 110".
 * Delete the last sentence "It is the largest car rental company in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Bolivia and Israel." as these are all franchise markets (except Germany) and formally "Sixt SE" is therefore not a car rental company in those countries.

Infobox:
 * Change title from "Sixt rent a car SE" to "Sixt SE" as this is the official name
 * Delete the field "trade name" as this is firstly wrong and secondly seems redundant taken in consideration the title and the "traded as" field
 * Key people: Change Gunter Thielen to Friedrich Joussen, who has been Chairman of the Supervisory Board since 2017
 * Services: Add "ride hailing" as an additional service to complete the list
 * Number of emplyoees: Update from 4,308 to latest 2018 figures (7,540)
 * Subsidiaries: Delete "myDriver" as a subsidiary as this is part of sixt ride since the organizational changes in February 2019

History:
 * First sentence: Sixt has been the first car rental company in Bavaria not in Germany according to its own company history documentation
 * Add a sentence at the end of the section describing the sale of DriveNow and add a short description of the changes in February 2019 adding car sharing to its services and combining its services rental, sharing, ride hailing into one app.

Management:
 * Last paragraph: Change "...appointed as additional Director of Sixt" to "...appointed as additional Board Members of Sixt" as "Directors" are considered something else in most German companies.

Business units:
 * Car rental: Change name "Car Rental" to "Mobility" as the business unit has been renamed following organizational changes. Accordingly change the first sentence to "The business unit Mobility..."
 * Car rental: Change the list of service areas into "rent, share, ride and Sixt Unlimited" following the mentioned organizational changes in February 2019 (from "rent a truck, rent a car, limousine service, Luxury Cars and Sixt Unlimited.")
 * Leasing: In the third sentence change the word "to" to "through" ("Furthermore, it offers lease financing and services through franchisees...") as this describes it more precisely from our point of view
 * Leasing: In the third sentence update/correct the number of countries from "more than 40" to "around 30"
 * Leasing: In the last sentence add the platform autohaus.24.de as it has been fully acquired in 2016 ("... via the online platforms www.autohaus24.de and www.sixt-neuwagen.de")
 * Other areas of business: Delete this section as Leasing has been described before, Sixt X is not a business unit but rather a division as described, DriveNow has been sold, Sixt ride now being part of the business area "Mobility" and Autohaus24 now being part of the leasing business area after the complete takeover in 2016.

In addition, I would like to discuss the second paragraph in today's section "Car Rental": It seems not to be written very neutral and it lacks an independent source. Of course, I am well aware of my COI. Therefore, I did not suggest any changes here in my draft but wanted to rather just point it out for uninvolved editors to decide what to do here.

All the suggestions I made are backed by (new) sources in my user space draft. I am looking forward to feedback. Please let me know if you have any questions or if I should do something different.

I greatly appreciate everybody's time and help with this! Thanks in advance, Conandcon (talk) 13:47, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

Update article
Dear

Thanks again for looking into my request above. I would like to suggest a few additional things also clarifying parts of my request above. All, please note that I have a financial conflict of interest. Therefore, I will not make any changes myself but rather suggest things here.

"Sixt SE is a German multinational car rental company with about 5,000 locations in over 105 countries."

2. Please add the following as the first paragraph of the introduction section:

3. Using as the reference:

4. Reason for change being made:

Please update the number of shares being hold by the Sixt family from 60% to 58.3%

1. Please remove the last sentence of the second paragraph of the introduction section:

"It is the largest car rental company in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Bolivia and Israel."

2. Reason for change being made:

Bolivia and Israel are franchise markets and formally "Sixt SE" is therefore not a car rental company in those countries.

Suggested changes to the Infobox:

1. Please remove the title of the infobox:

"Sixt rent a car SE"

2. Please add the following as the title of the infobox:

"Sixt SE"

3. Using as the reference: Please see official name in the annual report on page 20 (pdf page 22):

"Sixt SE, with its headquarters in Pullach/Germany is a listed European Stock Corporation (Societas Europaea) and is the parent and holding company for the Sixt Group."

4. Reason for change being made:

"Sixt rent a car SE" is not the name of the company. "Sixt SE" is the official name. Therefore, the title of the info box would need to be corrected.

1. Please remove the following:

"Sixt rent a car"

2. Please add the following as the title of the infobox:

"Sixt SE St"

3. Using as the reference:

Please see the website of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange:

"Sixt merged  the  activities  of  the  Sixt  Limousine  Service and the transfer service Sixt mydriver within the business category Sixt ride in 2018."

3. Reason for change being made: Delete "myDriver" as a subsidiary as this is part of sixt ride since 2018.

Suggested changes to the History section:

1. Please add the following sentence at the end of the history section:

"At the beginning of 2018, Sixt sold its stake in car sharing service DriveNow for 209 million euros to its joint venture partner BMW."

2. Using as the reference:

3. Reason for change being made:

DriveNow was one of two big German car sharing providers. Its sale to BMW for 209m euros made the joint venture of BMW and Daimler (Mercedes) possible, which changed the German car sharing market fundamentally. As a major milestone within the history of the company, this should be added.

Again, I greatly appreciate everybodies help and time with this request. Kindly let me know if any questions arise. All the best Conandcon (talk) 16:05, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

History section
Dear all,

I would like to suggest to add some information to the history section. It currently ends in 2015, missing major company milestones since then. Where only major German newspapers reported I added articles from an english-language special interest magazine. I am very happy to help translating if necessary though.

"In February 2019, Sixt started an own mobility platform and a new car sharing service named Sixt share. The services car rental, car sharing, ride hailing and car subscriptions are all combined into one app."

2. Using as the reference:

Would you be willing to review my suggestions again? What do you think? Best, Conandcon (talk) 08:42, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't like anything that transforms the page into a "single-page landing site" so I wouldn't recommend adding "www.autohaus24.de" in the end. Otherwise it's just technical corrections supported by links. These links though... should be best from non-affiliated 3rd-party sources, not from the company's sites. Nikolay Komarov (talk) 09:14, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your reply Nikolay Komarov. I am not sure what you are referring to regarding the "single-page landing site" and autohaus24 as I am not suggesting to add anything in regard to autohaus24. Regarding the sources I proposed only 2 are primary sources that support hard facts (employee numbers and locations). In this regard these seem the most accurate sources as this information will always come from the company directly - and it later might be picked up by media. What do you think? Best, Conandcon (talk) 09:31, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Just wanted to make sure that you saw my reply above. Let me know what I can do to address your concerns and/or whether you are okay with implementing the suggested updates. Looking forward to hearing from you. Best Conandcon (talk) 14:31, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Key people in infobox updated per your request, marked as done above. Retswerb (talk) 02:48, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much, Would you be willing to also look at my other suggestions? What do you think? Looking forward to hearing from you. Greetings from Germany, Conandcon (talk) 15:39, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

Update Expansion Australia
Dear all,

I would like to suggest to add a short information about Sixt's recent expansion to Australia to the history section of the article.

''Please note that I have a financial conflict of interest as I am being paid by Sixt. Therefore, I will not make any edits myself but hope that uninvolved editors could review my suggestions and make changes if they find them appropriate.''

1. Please add the following sentences at the end of the history section:

"In December 2021, the company expanded to Australia via a partnership with the Australian National Roads & Motorists' Association. 160 branches and a total of 16,000 vehicles are thus franchised under the Sixt brand."

Using as reference:


 * German tier-1 media:


 * Alternative English-language special interest media:

3. Reason for change being made: Significant milestone in company history.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I am very much looking forward to thoughts of independent editors. Best, Conandcon (talk) 19:21, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

 * The references provided for these claims are both based on press releases issued by the company:
 * 1) From AutoRemarketing: "The global premium mobility service provider announced three-year sponsorship deals with the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles on Thursday,
 * 2) From LLBOnline: "Konstantin Sixt, CEO at SIXT, said, “Looking at Times Square shining in orange is a testament to what our U.S. team has achieved. SIXT has significantly improved its footprint in the U.S. and our advertising campaign is a sign of our strong ambitions, always in the name of providing the best possible experience to our customers."
 * Those types of references do not represent spontaneous reporting by reliable, independent, secondary sources.
 * Thank you very much for your feedback. There are of course more sources. However, most of them in German. One for example is from Germany's most important business magazine Manager Magazin: Sixt sponsert NBA-Klubs Los Angeles Lakers und Chicago Bulls. As this is German and behind a paywall, I suggested the other sources above. Do you find this source more suitable? Looking for your feedback. Thanks again for taking the time to look into this.
