Sixt car rental

Sixt operates at the Rent-A-Car Center, located at 7135 Gilespie St, Las Vegas, NV 89119, approximately three miles south of Harry Reid International Airport (LAS). The center serves both Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 and houses multiple rental companies, including Sixt. After landing, follow signs to the Rental Car Shuttle to reach the center.

Reaching the Sixt Desk

• From Terminal 1: After collecting luggage at baggage claim (Level 1), follow signs for Ground Transportation. Exit through doors 10 or 11, where the blue-and-white Rental Car Shuttle stops at the center median. The shuttle ride takes about 6-8 minutes.
• From Terminal 3: Proceed to baggage claim (Level 0) and follow Ground Transportation signs. The shuttle stops are outside doors 51-54 (west end) or 55-58 (east end). The ride to the Rent-A-Car Center is also 6-8 minutes.
• Upon arrival at the Rent-A-Car Center, follow signs to the Sixt counter, one of two located in the main lobby. Look for bright orange Sixt signage for easy identification.
