What DAVO CAR does

DAVO CAR s.r.o. is a Czech Republic-based automotive dealership and integrated auto center founded in 1997 and headquartered at Olbramovice 203, near the Prague–České Budějovice corridor, with a recently opened second branch in Plzeň. The company operates from an 80,000 m2 sales site carrying 1,852+ listed vehicles spanning sedans, SUVs, Kombi, MPVs, commercial vehicles, and electric vehicles, including a premium sub-brand DAVO Exklusive. Its core business is retail sale of used vehicles to individual consumers and corporate fleet buyers, supported by an in-house service ecosystem: DAVO Servis (maintenance), DAVO WASH (car wash), detailing, STK emissions testing, DAVO OiL (fuel station with EV fast charging), and Autopůjčovna DAVO CAR (car rental and operational leasing).

The company monetizes through a diversified stack: one-time vehicle sales with an administrative fee of 1,500 CZK per transaction and a 3,500 CZK transfer fee; financing brokerage commissions from multiple creditor partners (representative example: 250,000 CZK vehicle, 30% down, 72-month term at 6.55% p.a., 6.86% APR); insurance and extended warranty sales (DAVO CAR Protect, Defend) included free on vehicles priced 39,999 CZK and above; recurring revenue from the on-site service center, car wash, fuel station, EV charging, and rental fleet; plus custom vehicle import and export services. Go-to-market is sales-led through a physical showroom combined with an online catalog, email newsletter, phone hotline, and third-party SAuto marketplace listings, with a separate e-commerce rental subdomain.

Operationally, DAVO CAR runs a multi-brand portfolio (Autocentrum DAVO CAR, DAVO Exklusive, DAVO Servis, DAVO WASH, DAVO OiL, Autopůjčovna) targeting individual consumers as the primary segment and corporate fleet buyers as a secondary segment, all within the domestic Czech market. The business is privately held by undisclosed private individuals with no parent company, no subsidiaries, no disclosed funding rounds, and 51–100 employees. The company's competitive proposition rests on scale of inventory at a single roadside location, full handling of registration paperwork, and bundling of sale, finance, insurance, warranty, and after-sales service.
