Karmo: About Us

“Accessing a car should be affordable, convenient and flexible”

Established in 2019, Karmo has evolved with the market and is now the largest car subscription provider in Australia.

Following the acquisition of Motopool in October 2024, we united the expertise of two leading car subscription providers under one executive team. This collaboration has allowed us to blend our successes, share knowledge and continue to deliver the best car subscription service to our valued customers.

Founded on the principle that accessing a car should be affordable, convenient, and flexible, Karmo is dedicated to reflecting what matters most to you at each stage of your life.

Over the past few years, we have meticulously designed an offering that adapts to your needs. The choice of vehicles has expanded, our hubs have upgraded, our staff has grown, all while remaining competitively priced compared to traditional car ownership options.

As the car subscription model continues to grow in Australia, we are proud to support forward-thinking individuals and organisations who embrace the idea of ‘access not ownership’.

Our mission

We want to redefine car ownership.

Our subscription model has been designed to make new cars more affordable, convenient and more flexible than ever before. From trying to find a car that will work for every stage of your life, to stressing about sinking thousands of dollars into a depreciating asset, it’s easy to forget how bad the car ownership experience can be because we’re simply used to it.

We are driven to liberate the world of vehicle ownership and remove the barriers to vehicle access to enable seamless mobility for people and communities.

Our Values

We believe that a thriving work culture is the foundation for innovation and success.

Oneness – unity in action
Customer – the customer is at the heart of everything we do
Freedom – we challenge norms to stay ahead and shape the future
Progress – fuelling our innovation, adaptability and momentum
Reliability – we do what we promise.

Our Name

Mobility began with the river – a natural force that carried people and goods with purpose and pace.

We created Karmo (a blend of the Japanese ‘Kawa’ for river, car, and mobility) to honour that legacy.

We believe transport should be as natural and adaptive as the waters that first moved the world.

Just as rivers evolve with the landscape, we’re here to guide the next generation of movement in a changing world.
