Kavak runs an online platform and network of physical stores for buying and selling used cars, with a focus on certified, guaranteed vehicles. It uses data and technology to verify cars, streamline transactions, and reduce fraud, while offering financing options and after-sales services. Cars can be bought or sold through the website or mobile app, and Kavak operates its own reconditioning center to prepare vehicles for sale. The company earns money from car sales, financing, warranties/after-sales services, and other related fees across its international markets. Kavak differentiates itself by increasing transparency in the used-car market, providing certified cars, a trusted marketplace with financing, and a hybrid online-offline shopping experience, backed by a large reconditioning operation. Its goal is to formalize the used-car market, make transactions safer and easier for customers, and expand access to financing everywhere it operates.
