Frequently Asked Questions

What is Carbi?

Carbi matches young drivers with their first car from trusted local dealers. Fill in a quick form, we check hundreds of dealers for low insurance cars and you get matched within 24 hours. No endless scrolling or no pushy sales guys.

Do I have to pay to use Carbi?

Not while we're in BETA phase and learning. In the future, car buyers or dealers might pay a small fee. For now, you pay the dealer for the car that's it.

How quickly will I hear from a dealer?

We'll start looking for your car as soon as you submit the form. If we find a match, we'll be in touch within 24 hours and the trusted dealer will reach out so you can arrange a viewing.

What if I don't like the car you find?

Just let us know and we'll keep searching. There's no obligation to buy and we won't stop until you find the right car. That said, we put a lot of effort into matching based on your specific requirements, so we're hopeful that your first match will be a good one.

Do you only work with trusted dealers?

Yes. Every dealer must have at least 4.6 stars in online ratings. If any customer has a bad experience with a dealer we recommended, they'll be removed from our list.

Why should I trust Carbi?

We're unbiased and want the same as you - to find the best car for your needs.

Do you make money from the dealers?

Not while we're in the testing phase. In the future we might charge dealers a small fee for finding them a customer.

Will I get pressured to buy?

No. If a dealer pressures you to buy, let us know and we'll stop recommending them.

How does Carbi choose which cars to recommend?

We start with a list of available, low insurance group cars at trusted dealers within your search radius. Then we look at your individual requirements and find the best match.

Why not use Autotrader?

AutoTrader is good if you already know exactly what you want. But it can be complicated and it shows you thousands of cars. We pre-filter for young driver friendly, low insurance group cars and quickliy find a single closest match instead of weeks of searching. Plus, not all dealers list all their cars on AutoTrader because it's expensive.

Why not go to a local dealer?

We'll connect you with a trusted local dealer who has the best match for what you're looking for, once we've done the legwork. Or you can do that legwork yourself and take a bit longer.

Should I buy privately?

If you know exactly what you're looking for, you can save a bit of money buying privately. It comes with more risk though - no warranties and you can't take it back.
