Company mission

Carzam's mission is to take the hassle out of the car buying journey.

Our take

Buying a car is expensive, confusing and time-consuming. Carzam solves this problem by simplifying the car buying journey.

The company was founded by two experienced car retailers, and it has successfully tapped into the growing demand for hassle-free car buying. Customers are free to browse cars from home without being sold to, and in its first year, Carzam sold 13,500 used cars.

Carzam faces stiff competition from similar brands, including Cazoo and Cinch, but its impressive revenue figures (£150 million in its first year) indicate that the company is holding its own. Recent funding will also allow Carzam to bring a wider range of used cars to customers more quickly, which will be instrumental in the company's future success.
