AutoScout24 is the largest pan-European and Canadian online car market, with over 30 million users per month, more than 45,000 dealer partners, and around 2,000 employees. Operating in 19 countries across Europe and Canada, the platform offers a comprehensive solution for online car trading, connecting private customers, car dealers, and partners from automotive, finance, and insurance sectors. The marketplace features over two million vehicle listings including used and new cars, motorcycles, camping vehicles, and commercial vehicles.
Founded in Munich in 1998 as MasterCar AG, AutoScout24 has evolved into an international marketplace through strategic acquisitions. The company expanded its portfolio by acquiring LeasingMarkt.de in 2020 (Germany's largest leasing marketplace), AutoProff in 2022 (a B2B platform for digital car trading), and Trader Corporation in 2024 (operating AutoTrader.ca and AutoHebdo.net in Canada). In 2021, AutoScout24 launched smyle, the world's first car marketplace with a fully online e-commerce solution, enabling buyers to purchase vehicles entirely online with payment, insurance, registration, home delivery, and a 14-day return policy. The company's editorial team has been providing industry-renowned vehicle tests and reports since 2001 through the AutoScout24 Magazine.
