PARS

What PARS does

PARS (Professional Automotive Relocation Services, Inc.) is a U.S.-based fleet vehicle relocation and logistics services provider founded in 1998 and headquartered in Gainesville, Virginia. The company serves corporate fleet managers, third-party fleet management companies, and large enterprises with company-owned vehicle fleets across industries including healthcare, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, telecommunications, and retail. Its core services are vehicle driveaway (professional drivers physically relocating vehicles), carrier transport (haulaway on specialized trailers), secure vehicle storage with inventory management, license and titling administration across state lines, and reconditioning/make-ready services including mechanical repair, body work, and detailing.

PARS operates a proprietary technology platform comprising a web-based customer portal for real-time order tracking, electronic condition reporting, and storage facility inventory mapping, paired with a driver mobile application launched in 2021 that enables photo-based vehicle condition documentation, damage assessment, and electronic signature capture at pickup and delivery. The company executes tens of thousands of vehicle transport trips per year through an independent contractor driver network and maintains offices throughout the United States. Pricing is quote-based, varying by vehicle type, distance, and service requirements, with fuel charged at actual cost and ancillary services billed at cost without markup. On December 9, 2025, PARS was acquired by RPM Freight Systems, LLC and now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary within RPM's automotive logistics platform, which also includes Dealers Choice Auto Transport. RPM has stated a longer-term goal of scaling the combined platform toward $1 billion in revenue, with geographic expansion into Europe underway.

Revenue model

1. Fleet Vehicle Transport Services: Core revenue stream from vehicle driveaway and carrier transport services for corporate fleet vehicles. Services are priced based on distance, vehicle type, pickup/delivery locations, and complexity of the move. Pricing uses actual cost models (actual fuel costs) rather than flat fees.
2. Storage and Administrative Services: Vehicle storage management services including facility storage, plus administrative services such as license and titling. These services include third-party costs (inspection, agency fees, facility storage) billed at cost without markup.
3. Reconditioning and Maintenance Services: Reconditioning and make-ready services including detailing, body work, mechanical repair, and general maintenance. These are coordinated with fleet management companies and may include securing maintenance rebates.
