What is Carly?

Carly is a car subscription product that bundles vehicle access, insurance, maintenance and roadside into a single monthly fee — sitting between traditional leases and short-term rentals. Its product surface covers single monthly fee covering insurance, maintenance and roadside alongside flexible swap of vehicle classes, with the recurring subscription paid through the operator's direct billing or partner-billing surfaces. Customers buy a tier matching their usage profile; the entry tier is suitable for testing the product and higher tiers add features such as short commitment vs. multi-year lease.

Why choose Carly

Operator and ecosystem context

Carly is run by Carly Solutions GmbH out of Munich, Germany, established 2014 (founded by Maximilian Mai and Sergej Knaus). That matters because the car subscriptions category is increasingly consolidated and the operator's ownership structure (public vs. private, parent group, regulatory footprint) shapes how aggressively the product is supported and how stable the subscription terms are over multi-year renewals.

Plan structure and pricing tiers

The tier ladder splits across Light for testing the service, Standard for everyday use, and Plus for power users or households. Anchor pricing for 2026: OBD adapter approximately EUR 60-80; subscription approximately EUR 50-100/year. Consult Subger's true-price tracker for Carly for all-in renewal costs after taxes and FX conversion.

Car subscription terms and fleet features

Beyond the headline features, the 2025-2026 differentiator for Carly is 2024-2025 expanded to support 35+ car brands with OBD-II diagnostics, coding and used-car health checks via the Carly mobile app. That gives the subscription a credible roadmap for the year ahead and distinguishes it from operators running their car subscriptions catalog on autopilot.
