About UCAR

UCAR Mobility Group is a French automotive mobility company historically focused on short-term vehicle rental, with a broader offering that now covers mobility solutions for private customers, businesses and automotive manufacturers. Founded in 2000, the group grew around a franchise-based, local proximity model, supported by a dense nationwide network in France. In its recent communications, UCAR states that it employs around 100 direct staff and about 500 people across its entire network, with a footprint of roughly 380 to 409 agencies and a fleet of nearly 7,000 vehicles. The company also highlights all-duration rental solutions, as well as vehicle-sharing and fleet-management services. The group’s history reflects steady expansion in the French rental market, followed by a major ownership restructuring in 2022. In April 2022, UCAR announced its strategic combination with Cosmobilis, a group active in automotive distribution and mobility-related services. Following the transaction, UCAR became part of the Cosmobilis group, giving it access to commercial, digital and operational synergies. This integration strengthened UCAR’s ability to broaden its mobility offering and to accelerate growth in a rapidly changing competitive environment. UCAR’s core business remains passenger car and light commercial vehicle rental, delivered through a network of physical agencies and online booking channels. The group positions itself around flexibility, competitive pricing and local proximity. Its services cover short-, medium- and long-term rental, as well as solutions for replacement vehicles, business travel, leisure and occasional use. UCAR also develops services for automotive dealers and franchise partners, which is an important lever for commercial expansion. Geographically, UCAR is primarily focused on France, where it operates a nationwide network. Its strategy relies on being present both in major urban areas and in more peripheral locations, allowing it to serve a broad local customer base. Among the company’s notable features, UCAR presents itself as a leading player in French vehicle rental and states an ambition to “revolutionize mobility” by offering accessible, flexible and sustainable solutions.
