CarVia -
Car rental the way it always should have been.
A Porsche 911 is a promise. A line at the counter, "or similar" on your booking confirmation and a rushed look for scratches rarely live up to it. That gap never let go of us.
So we do three things differently. You drive exactly the model you booked. Our own team handles the handover, in person instead of anonymous. And our in-house technology takes care of the paperwork, so there's time for what this is really about: the car.
From booking to return. Born in Munich, now all across Europe.

Our story
2026 - Expanding across Europe
CarVia launches in France, Spain and the Netherlands and is now available across Europe.
2025 - BMW, Porsche & Mercedes
With our Mercedes cooperation, we now work with all three major German premium manufacturers. Car sharing and long-term rentals expand our offering, backed by a new brand identity with a new app and website.
2023-2024 The car world bets on CarVia
We launch an exclusive partnership with BMW Welt and bring current BMW models to life right at the brand's home. Before that, CarVia was the official Mobility Partner of the IAA.
2020-2022 From Munich to all of Germany
Stuttgart becomes our first rental hub outside Munich. Frankfurt, Hamburg, Berlin, Düsseldorf and Nuremberg follow.
2017 - The beginning
Joschka and Julian Reik found CarVia in Munich as a premium car rental company. Every Porsche comes with a roadbook of the region's best drives.
Our founders
Joschka Reik
CEO / Co-Founder
Joschka leads strategy, product and CarVia's expansion. His standard: every detail of the rental should feel as good as the first mile.
Julian Reik
CFO / Co-Founder
Julian runs finance and has grown CarVia largely on its own resources for years. He finds improvements where others stopped looking long ago. Our customers are the ones who benefit most.
Join CarVia
We're building the premium car rental company Europe has been missing. For that, we're looking for people who love cars, hold themselves to high standards and want real responsibility in a fast-growing company.
Here you help shape things instead of just going along, whether at a hub, in customer care, on the tech team or building new locations across Europe.
CarVia in the press
"From sharing to monthly subscriptions: cutting the number of cars in half
CarVia's vision is to significantly reduce the more than 48 million cars in Germany. With each car currently used for an average of just one hour a day, the team's approach isn't about bans, but about innovative usage concepts that put vehicles to better use. According to studies, one car sharing vehicle can replace between 7 and 20 privately owned cars in the long run. So it's no surprise that CarVia is launching a fully digital car sharing service in summer 2022, with the right mix of driving fun and sustainability for every use case." (Translated from German)

Geheimtipp Stuttgart
"Recently, I had the pleasure of getting to know the entrepreneurial counterpoint to a car rental for show-offs. Joschka Reik told me about 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 Porsche sports cars. They rent to wedding couples just as much as to men who want to fulfill a lifelong dream with a day in a 911. Tourists also love having the cars arranged through their hotel concierge."

GQ Germany
"Pure driving time on each day's route is about 4-5 hours. In a convoy, connected by walkie-talkie to the instructor up front, you take on countless mountain passes. Driving tips and the odd anecdote about the tour come over the radio! The breathtaking changes of scenery thrill everyone in the car." (Translated from German)
