Freedom Without Owning a Car
Our mission: to make owning a car unnecessary through a sharing model that offers the flexibility, comfort, and driving pleasure of a private vehicle.
CarVia aims to convince people of shared mobility with transparent terms, simple and flexible payment processes, and a diverse selection of vehicles. Our goal is to reduce the number of cars on the road to a minimum.

"From Sharing to Monthly Subscriptions: Halving the Number of Cars
CarVia’s vision is to significantly reduce the over 48 million cars in Germany. With each car currently being used for an average of just one hour per day, the team's approach isn’t about prohibitions, but rather innovative usage concepts that optimize vehicle utilization. According to studies, one carsharing vehicle can replace between 7 and 20 privately owned cars in the long term. It’s no surprise that CarVia is launching a fully digital carsharing service in the summer of 2022, offering the perfect balance of driving pleasure and sustainability for every use case."

"Recently, I had the pleasure of learning about the entrepreneurial counterpoint to a car rental service for show-offs. Joschka Reik shared with me the challenges of his business. He is one of the founders of CarVia, a young car rental company based in Munich. The fleet mainly consists of sports cars from Porsche. They rent cars to wedding couples just as much as to men who want to fulfill their dream of driving a 911 for a day. Tourists also love having the cars arranged through their hotel concierge."
