Top SaaS companies in Germany

SIXT started in 1912 with three cars in Munich. Today we run a fleet of more than 360,000 vehicles, generate 4.3 billion euros in revenue and serve customers in over 100 countries – renting out premium cars, vans and trucks from a single day to a flexible monthly subscription, and moving people with chauffeur, transfer and car-sharing services. All of it through one app, one login and a dense network at airports and in city centres.We grew organically: in the last decade we nearly tripled our revenue and doubled our pre-tax earnings. Listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange since 1986, we are still entrepreneur-led – with the founding family as anchor shareholder.We build our own technology: more than 550 engineers and data specialists in our own development centres create the app, the pricing engine, the fleet intelligence and the AI agents that run in our daily operations. On one platform, our customers find SIXT rent, SIXT+, SIXT ride and SIXT share.This is how three cars became 360,000, and we call it "The Big SIXT": We value customer excitement above all else – premium, simple, worth talking about. We are one team, Team Orange, where everyone takes full ownership and shares in the result. We are on the offense and we love to win: clear priorities, play to score. We protect our brand every day and love what we do. We are curious – we question how things are done, ask for feedback and welcome change. And we love to show results: obstacles don't hold us back, we address root causes and take bold decisions when they are needed.Working at SIXT means real responsibility, a fast pace and the expectation that tomorrow should run better than today. If that sounds like you, take a look at our open roles.
