Edit request
You can find my suggestion in my user space User:Conandcon/Sixt all backed by sources there. Here is also a diff 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.
To expedite your request, it would help if you could provide the following information:
Please state the verbatim text and references to be added to the article (if approved) by the reviewer. These should be supplied here on the talk page, rather than on a page that you control (such as your draft).
The exact location where the desired claims are to be placed should be described.
Exact, verbatim descriptions of any text and/or references to be removed should also be given.[1]
Reasons should be provided for each change.[2] (You have already done this, to an extent.)
In the section of text below titled Sample edit request, the four required items are shown as an example:
Sample edit request
1. Please remove the third sentence from the second paragraph of the Sun section:
"The Sun's diameter is estimated to be approximately 25 miles in length."
2. Please add the following claim as the third sentence of the second paragraph of the Sun section:
"The Sun's diameter is estimated to be approximately 864,337 miles in length."
3. Using as the reference:

4.Reason for change being made:

Kindly open a new edit request at your earliest convenience when ready to proceed with all four items in your request, placed here below, on this talk page. Thank you!

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.
@Spintendo:, Thank you for your remarks above, which I hope I have implemented now in this request.

2. Reason for change being made:
In case above mentioned suggestion in the section business units are being implemented: 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.

^The request does not state what it is about the description of the company as being one of car rentals, which is deficient in the inclusion of other, more modern forms of car rental, such as ride sharing.
^Minor developments at the company are not germane for the article. SeeWP:NOTNEWS.
^This information was removed from the article because it is not clear what is meant by the word represents.
^This portion of the text was removed, as a directory of the businesses sections is not warranted. The business areas are: fleet leasing for corporate customers, fleet management through its subsidiary Sixt Mobility Consulting GmbH and leasing for private and commercial customers via the online platforms www.autohaus24.de and www.sixt-neuwagen.de."SeeWP:NOTADIRECTORY.
^This text was removed, as the article ought not to act as a brochure for the company's services. SeeWP:NOTBROCHURE.

Suggested changes to the Introduction section:
First sentence
1. Please remove the first sentence of the first paragraph of the introduction section:
"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:
"Sixt SE is a German multinational car rental company with about 2,100 locations in approximately 110 countries."
"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.
Trade name
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:

4. Reason for change being made:
"Sixt rent a car" is not the official trade name. "Sixt SE" is the offical trade name, whereas "Sixt SE St" are the common shares and "Sixt SE Vz" are the preferred shares.
Subsidiaries
1. Please remove the field "subsidiaries" from the infobox.
"Subsidiaries: myDriver"
2. Reference:
Please see the annual report on page 37 (pdf page 39):
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.

^The asked-for changes in this section of the edit request are already in the article. The text states that they are available in "over 105 countries". As being available in 110 countries meets the definition of "over" 105, this statement is accurate.
^As it was already unclear what was meant by the metric "largest", this statement has been omitted.
^It is not clear what is meant by the term stake. Also, as this is simply the transfer of property from one company to its business partner, this is not news. SeeWP:NOTNEWS.
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.
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.
Extended content
Suggested changes to the History section:
Penultimate paragraph
1. Please add the following sentence at the end of the penultimate paragraph of history section:
"In 2011, the company opened its first branch in the USA in Florida."
As Sixt is a listed company, this is a crucial information for readers. Also, when looking at the over 100-year company history this transaction stands out. It was covered broadly in German press – please see Google results.
End of history section2
1. Please add the following sentence at the end of the history section:
"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."
This is a major milestone in the company’s history as Sixt is transitioning to a mobility service provider. Investors deemed this move significant with the share price rising 7 percent that day (see Manager Magazin article above).
End of history section3
1. Please add the following sentence at the end of the history section:
"In 2020, Sixt sold all its shares in Sixt Leasing SE in order to focus its business on its mobility services."
This is another big milestone in the company's history and in transitioning into a mobility service provider.
End of history section4
1. Please add the following sentence at the end of the history section:
"In June 2020, Sixt acquired 10 concessions at U.S. airports from Advantage Rent a Car. The acquisition increased the number of Sixt stations in the United States to more than 85."
Thank you for trying to avoid a conflict. I've checked the big diff [1] you suggested previously and I'm fine with it. I'm also fine with the most recent update suggestions. These all are facts worth mentioning in the article. Nikolay Komarov (talk) 16:12, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox Industry
1. Please remove the following as industry from the infobox:
"Car rental"
2. Please add the following as industry to the infobox:
"Mobility service provider"
3. Reason for change being made:
As already listed under services in the infobox today, Sixt offers much more then just car rental. I would therefore like to suggest to change the industry to mobility service provider as this seems more accurate.
Infobox Key people
1. Please remove the following as key people from the infobox:
"Erich Sixt (CEO and Chairman of the Executive Board), Friedrich Joussen (Chairman of the Supervisory Board)"
2. Please add the following as key people to the infobox:
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
@Nikolay Komarov: 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)[reply]
Thank you very much, @Retswerb: 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)[reply]
Partly done: Thank you for requesting these. I implemented some of the other changes requested. "Subscription" as such is not mentioned in the link provided, and was therefore not included. PK650 (talk) 22:04, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dear all,
I would like to suggest to add Sixt’s nationwide marketing campaign in the US to the article – including just having announced long-year sponsoring contracts with NBA teams Chicago Bulls and LA Lakers. Please find a respective suggestion below including independent secondary sources. Please note that I have a financial conflict of interest as I am being paid by Sixt SE. I hope that uninvolved editors could review my suggestion and make the addition if they find it appropriate.
NBA Partnership
1. Please add the following sentence to the end of the article:
Starting at the end of 2022, Sixt ran a marketing campaign in the US including billboard ads at Times Square and - as of October 2023 - sponsoring contracts with Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers.
The references provided for these claims are both based on press releases issued by the company:
From AutoRemarketing: "The global premium mobility service provider announced three-year sponsorship deals with the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles on Thursday,
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.

"7,509 (2022)|6,399 (2021)"
2. Please add the following as number of employees to the infobox:
