Car Solution Rent

What Car Solution Rent does

Car Solution Rent S.r.l. is an Italian vehicle rental company headquartered in Milan, founded in 2005. The company provides long-term and short-term vehicle rental services alongside a subleasing offering targeted at automotive operators. Its fleet exceeds 100 units, and management claims a 30.6% market share in its segment of the Italian rental market as of 2025.

The business operates a subleasing management portal that automates fleet workflow for its operator clients, creating an embedded software touchpoint on top of the physical rental and subleasing transactions. Customer segments span automotive operators (via the subleasing product), businesses and professionals (via corporate and long-term rentals), and private individuals (via short-term rentals). Revenue is generated through rental fees and subleasing margins, with disclosed revenue of approximately €1.1M in 2025-2026 against a 1-10 employee headcount.

In February 2026, A21 Holding completed the 100% acquisition of Car Solution Rent, integrating it with a parent ecosystem of 650+ affiliated body shops across Italy. Post-acquisition, the company has announced an expansion to 10 regional hubs across Northern Italy, a new EVSAFE electric mobility initiative launched by the parent, and a public revenue target of €5M by 2028. Mirko Suma was appointed to a leadership role, and the board and headquarters were reorganized to align with the parent's operating model.
