Carsup was born in 2019 following a very simple observation: Every owner of an exceptional car, old or modern, encounters difficulties in the management, storage, maintenance, in the purchase, sale and even, in the use of his/her car. These complexities appear at different times and in different forms: - Buying or selling their car and getting rid of the associated hassles (insurance, financing, registration, etc.). - Finding a secure, practical storage place near their home with services of Maintenance in Operational Condition in order to have a car ready to drive, 24/24h 7/7. - Choosing a reliable partner and avoiding players who sometimes charge prohibitive prices for mediocre quality services. - Fully enjoying this object of pleasure and avoiding all these questions (when, where, with whom, how, etc.), which are detrimental to the very essence of their passion: driving. Relieving collectors of these constraints is the sole objective of Carsup. Our commitment is simple: to allow you to own and enjoy your exceptional car with complete peace of mind. "Pleasure without constraints" This promise is based on 3 pillars: - Transparency, with fair prices and clear pricing. - Quality of the services, with trained, dedicated and rigorous teams - Innovation, with high-end tools, including a mobile application allowing owners to manage their cars and associated services with transparent access to all information. From secure car parks with private parking spaces, to mechanical maintenance and repairs, administrative tasks or even brokerage, Carsup is committed to finding the most appropriate solution for your automotive needs. Thanks to these fundamentals and with more than 1000 cars under management, Carsup is Europe largest luxury car park and concierge service.
