Carwow

Carwow operates an online car marketplace where users compare new and used car deals, lease and finance offers, and sell their cars through its Sell My Car service. The company also offers Carwow Leasey, a fleet and business leasing service for cars and vans, and publishes car reviews and video content. Its 2024 acquisition of Autovia formed Carwow Group, which includes a broader portfolio of automotive brands.

Customers are private car buyers and sellers, and businesses leasing vehicles through Carwow Leasey. Dealers and manufacturers supply the offers shown on the platform; the website describes offers from thousands of trusted dealers. The lease listings show monthly payments and initial payments that include broker fees, but the input does not state the revenue model in full.

Carwow was founded in 2013 by James Hind, Alexandra and David. Its headquarters are in London, and the careers page states that it has four locations in the UK, Germany, Spain and Portugal. The website lists about 500 employees and a last funding round of $52 million led by Bessemer Venture Partners. Open roles include sales, engineering, data science, finance and marketing positions in London, Munich and Porto.
