A new partnership has been agreed between a nationwide vehicle hire provider and a major tyre and fleet services specialist, covering tyre management and associated support across the UK. Under the agreement, Kwik Fit will oversee all tyre-related and ancillary work for the UK fleet operated by SIXT van & truck, which runs a nationwide van and truck hire network serving both business and private customers.
Under the partnership, tyre management, authorisation and operational support for SIXT van & trucks fleet will be carried out by the Kwik Fit team. The SIXT van & truck fleet is being fully integrated into the Kwik Fit’s fleet management system which also covers mobile fitting and rapid-response support.
SIXT van & truck opted for a partnership with Kwik Fit because of its strong account management and back-office support, national coverage and extensive stockholding, and the backing of a country-wide mobile and rapid response network.
Jim Williams, Head of Operations for SIXT van & truck UK, said:
In supporting our customers it’s critical that we have a national partner who can help us in minimising vehicle downtime. Crucial to that is not only tyre availability and expertise, but robust back-office systems and a team that works as a seamless extension to our own. Kwik Fit has demonstrated how it can add significant value to our operations and we’re delighted to be working with them.
Tom Edwards, Fleet Sales Director at Kwik Fit said:
The SIXT van & truck team have clearly shown an appetite for a true partnership and we are very proud that they have chosen Kwik Fit to play a key role in their operations. We look forward to building an even stronger relationship and supporting them in their long-term goals.
The partnership reflects SIXT van & truck’s commitment to delivering a premium, dependable service to customers across the UK. By working with established, respected national providers, SIXT ensures its fleet operations are supported by trusted expertise, giving customers confidence that their vehicles are maintained to the highest standards, wherever they operate.
As SIXT van & truck continues to expand its UK footprint, with further depot growth planned in the South West region in 2026, strategic partnerships play an essential
role in maintaining consistent service quality nationwide. The business is investing in both infrastructure and customer experience as it strengthens its presence in key commercial markets.
SIXT van & truck also continues to support customers transitioning to lower-emission mobility, offering a growing range of electric vans alongside its modern diesel fleet. The recent launch of Drive+ Telematics further enhances fleet visibility, helping customers monitor utilisation, improve driver behaviour and maximise operational efficiency.
By aligning with major, credible partners such as Kwik Fit, SIXT van & truck reinforces its focus on reliability, transparency and operational excellence, ensuring customers can focus on running their businesses, confident their vehicles are in expert hands.
