Carwow is a UK-based online automotive marketplace that helps consumers buy, sell, lease, and finance cars without haggling or hidden fees. Buyers browse new and used car deals, compare dealer quotes, arrange leasing (including salary sacrifice and fleet through Carwow Leasey), find electric-vehicle deals, and access vehicle financing and credit brokering. Sellers get free car valuations, part-exchange, and van sales. Carwow also publishes professional car reviews and ratings, runs a large YouTube channel, and offers comparison tools, EV charging maps, a car history checker, and insurance services. Founded in London and backed by Accel, Balderton Capital, and Bessemer Venture Partners, Carwow operates across the UK and Europe. It maintains a public GitHub organization of open-source engineering tooling but does not currently publish a public developer API.
