RENTAL company Sixti has expanded the range of cars it is offering to customers.

Its newest additions include the smart forfour and the new Ford Focus. Stuart Johnston, head of UK sales, said: ‘Car rental companies need to react quickly to the demands of customers – this is why we have decided to expand our fleet range.

In London, the prospect of a wider congestion charging area, parking issues and overcrowding on the tube mean more people are opting out of owning a car and, for Sixti, this represents an opportunity.’
