Renting Finders

rentingfinders.com ↗ ·Madrid ·Seed

Renting Finders is a Madrid-based online marketplace for car leasing. Individuals, self-employed professionals and companies can compare and sign long-term vehicle rental contracts from the major leasing operators without a down payment, and a single monthly fee covers insurance, maintenance, repairs, tyres and taxes. It earns commissions on the contracts it places. Founded in 2018 by Arturo Álvarez Podhorecka and Javier Maside Echavarren, the company operates in Spain and Portugal and runs the Renting Finders and Swipcar brands. It bought Swipcar from Cazoo in December 2022, which took it past 10,000 active subscriptions, and its revenue is close to €4 million. In July 2022 it raised a €700,000 round led by Faraday Venture Partners, with Tadium Invest, IPGlobal, Koejans Capital and Sembi taking part. It has also received an ENISA loan and was selected for Lanzadera's Scale Up programme in 2023.
