About the Company

CarOnSale

European B2B used-car marketplace and auctions

CarOnSale is a European B2B marketplace that connects professional car dealers with exclusive used-vehicle inventory and manages the full transaction flow. It runs dynamic auctions, vehicle inspections and COSCheck condition reporting, pricing intelligence, logistics coordination, payments, and auction fulfillment. Dealers can list surplus vehicles and receive guaranteed pricing offers or put them into auctions; buyers access a curated pool of vehicles from licensed OEMs, with transparent condition and history data, and can bid in daily auctions or use Buy Now. The platform functions as a technology-led facilitator that cuts intermediaries and friction in wholesale used-car trade, standardizes inspection, delivery, and payment processes across Europe for cross-border deals, and offers tools to outsource parts of the remarketing workflow to help dealers scale without adding staff.
