Lucid Motors (LCID) is expanding its EV rental business overseas thanks to a new deal with Sixt in Saudi Arabia.
Lucid is growing its EV rental business overseas
The Lucid Air is now available to rent in Saudi Arabia through Sixt, with the new Gravity SUV set to join the fleet soon.
Lucid announced the partnership on social media on Thursday, saying the deal will “make it easy to access luxury mobility.”
No other details of the deal were released, but the move is part of Lucid’s growing presence in The Kingdom. Lucid secured an agreement with Saudi Arabia in 2022 to sell up to 100,000 electric vehicles. The following year, it opened its first overseas manufacturing plant (AMP-2) in King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC), Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
In the initial phase, Lucid is still shipping vehicles from its Casa Grande, Arizona (AMP-1) plant for final assembly at the Saudi facility. Shipments have mostly been Air models thus far.

Lucid plans to fully assemble vehicles at the plant, which is expected to begin next year. Once up and running, the plant will add 150,000 vehicles to Lucid’s annual production capacity.
On the company’s third-quarter earnings call, interim CEO Marc Winterhoff said Lucid produced over 1,000 vehicles for final assembly in Saudi Arabia, in addition to the 3,891 it built in Arizona.

Winterhoff added that Lucid is delivering vehicles to Saudi Arabia under the arrangement. With Gravity output ramping up, Lucid expects higher deliveries in 2026.
On Sixt’s website, the Lucid Air Touring is available to rent from the Riyadh Airport for about 1,228 riyals ($327) per day with 1,000 km included. Upgrading to 3,000 km costs an extra 245 riyals ($65) a day.
In comparison, the Tesla Model 3 is listed at 662 riyals ($176) per day and also includes 1,000 km. For 3,000 km, it costs an extra 132 riyals ($35) per day.
Lucid announced a similar deal with Sixt last year to add the Air to its EV fleet in Germany. The Lucid Air Pure, Touring, and Grand Touring are available to rent, starting at 999 euros ($1,161) per month.
