CarGurus operates an online marketplace that connects buyers and sellers of new and used cars, primarily in the United States, with additional presence in Canada, the United Kingdom, and Germany. Users can search for vehicles, compare prices, and read reviews on the platform. CarGurus employs advanced algorithms to rank car listings based on price, dealer reputation, and vehicle history, which helps users find the best deals. This focus on data transparency and user-friendly design distinguishes CarGurus from traditional car buying methods and competitors like AutoTrader and Cars.com. The company generates revenue mainly through subscription fees charged to dealerships for listing their inventory, along with advertising services and value-added offerings such as financing options and vehicle history reports.
