Karzoom offers an all-inclusive vehicle subscription, direct from franchised Dealers. They continue to add more dealer partners to their network have now manage the car subscription service for many large dealer groups, including Hendy Go,Perrys FLEX, Brayleys, Eden and Sherwoods Car Club.  Karzoom cover a large part of the UK, including the South Coast, Thames Valley, Home Counties, Lancashire,Derbyshire, South Yorkshire and the North East, with more counties continually being added.

With many more dealers in the pipeline, and aims to cover the UK - what a way to hit the ground running! 

Mike Fazal, the co-founder, describes it best:

“We have established partnerships in place with some of the industry’s major players and intend to grow our partnership network as we expand our service across the UK.  Franchised dealers are best positioned to provide this unique subscription service to their local customers and we are best positioned to support them delivering that service through the use of our technology platform and insurance partner solution from Zego.”

How does Karzoom work?

The process of signing up and subscribing to a vehicle is very similar to other UK car subscription providers. 

New customers normally go through the following steps:

• Select the location from where you need a car (more locations coming soon) and the required dates and time. 
• Select a car from the list that is available along with any optional services, such as additional mileage or European cover.
• Submit your personal details to create an account.
• Within 24 hours, you’ll receive a confirmation of the final price which is based on your individual circumstances (e.g. car insurance checks).

If you’re happy with everything, you can reserve the car by paying for the first month’s rental period and then it will be either available for collection within 7 days or delivered to your home address, where that service is available. You can select a 1 to 3 months subscription and then either renew your agreement or exchange your car for a different one!

Karzoom is focused on working with dealerships across the UK, with new dealers and locations being added all the time.  Meaning customers can look forward to experiencing the same excellent customer service and quality vehicles they are used to from our trusted dealer partners.
