FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., April 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Sixt SE and its U.S. Franchise Unit (Sixt Franchise USA LLC) announce the signing of multiple franchise agreements with VERC Car Rental.  VERC Car Rental will convert their existing locations in Massachusetts to Sixt franchises, open a new Sixt franchise to service Boston-Logan International Airport, as well as open additional franchise locations in Suffolk County.  Sixt is actively seeking growth-oriented franchisees in an initiative to expand its franchise network into the U.S., Canada, the Caribbean and Latin America as part of its effort to further internationalize the group's business. 

"We are extremely pleased to have VERC Car Rental join the Sixt franchise system.  VERC's existing network in the South Shore area, and their desire to expand into to the Boston area, will help establish a strong presence for Sixt in the Northeast U.S." said Craig Olson, Executive Vice President of North America Franchise Development for Sixt.  "VERC is a family-run business like Sixt and has been serving rental car customers since 1979. We look forward to helping them take their business to the next level."

"We are very confident that the addition of Sixt's tools and technology, along with access to Sixt's customer base, will enhance our business model." commented Paula Vercollone, CEO and President of VERC. "Expanding our business beyond the South Shore has been a goal of ours and we feel we have aligned with the best franchise system in car rental with Sixt."
