SIXT has opened a new branch at Brighton Railway Station, becoming the only car rental provider on site at one of the South East’s busiest transport hubs, which has direct rail connections to London, Gatwick Airport, and across the South Coast. The branch offers 24-hour vehicle return, giving customers flexibility around how and when they hand their car back. SIXT said its presence at the station speaks to a growing shift in how people choose to travel: arriving by train and collecting a car only when they need one, retaining the freedom of a vehicle at the destination. 

Collinson International, the business behind Priority Pass, has partnered with Greater Thameslink Railway (GTR) to introduce premium airport travel benefits for Gatwick Express passengers. It gives preferential rates on LoungeKey Pass to passengers travelling to or from London Gatwick Airport with Gatwick Express. The launch is part of GTR’s enhanced Gatwick Express services, which includes earlier morning train services over the summer and fast track security access.

Global accommodation platform, AltoVita, has announced an official incorporation in Australia, marking a significant milestone in the company’s growth across the Asia-Pacific region. It said a constrained housing market, coupled with Australia’s mining, critical minerals, renewable energy, defence and infrastructure sectors, are driving sustained demand for temporary accommodation. AltoVita offers more than 330,000 keys across Australia, spanning serviced apartments, aparthotels, hotels, professionally managed homes, and co-living spaces, in key business hubs as well as high-demand regional markets such as Karratha, Port Hedland and Kalgoorlie, where accommodation supply is constrained by ongoing mining, energy and infrastructure projects.
