Priority Automobile Company

What Priority Automobile Company does

Priority Automobile Company is a Kuwait-based luxury and mass-premium vehicle leasing operator headquartered in Safat, Kuwait City. Founded in 2006, the company was the first lessor in Kuwait to sign a 5 million KWD Audi 2006 fleet contract, establishing its position in the domestic luxury leasing market. It maintains a fleet spanning Audi, BMW, Toyota, Lexus, Land Rover, Jaguar, Cadillac, GMC, Ford, Nissan, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Chevrolet, and Mazda, with the stated portfolio breadth intended to address both corporate and individual customer demand across price tiers.

The company's core offering is a bundled monthly subscription lease. Contracts are priced in Kuwaiti dinars with a down-payment structure, and customers receive door-to-door delivery, free maintenance, car replacement, full insurance, and 24/7 road support as standard. Distribution runs through direct call centers, the company website, Instagram, and email, with online payments added on top of the traditional intake channels. Customer segments are split between corporate entities (fleet contracts) and individual consumers (personal leasing).

Priority Automobile operates as a privately held company with a headcount in the 11-50 range. There is no disclosed revenue, outside funding, M&A activity, leadership roster, or patent/technology portfolio in the available data. The business model is asset-heavy fleet leasing, with unit economics driven by residual values, financing cost, utilization, and the attached service bundle, but none of these levers are quantified publicly.
