CarSwitch is a tech-enabled used-car marketplace founded in Dubai in 2016 that facilitates buying and selling of pre-owned vehicles across the United Arab Emirates (Dubai, Abu Dhabi and nationwide) and Saudi Arabia. Rather than a traditional classifieds site, CarSwitch operates as a fully managed service: every car undergoes a 200-point inspection before listing, sellers get an end-to-end managed selling service (professional photography, listing, negotiation and RTA transfer handling), and buyers get price transparency, a free online car-valuation tool and installment financing through banking partners such as Emirates NBD, FAB, ADCB, ADIB, DIB and Emirates Islamic. The company has inspected 130,000+ vehicles and facilitated over $500 million in sales. CarSwitch was surfaced as a portfolio company of 500 Global and added to the API Evangelist network; it is a consumer marketplace with no public developer API program.
