DUBAI, UAE | 3 November 2026

Cars24 and Alba Cars have officially announced that they are joining forces, marking a significant milestone for two established automotive businesses and creating new opportunities for growth in the UAE market.

Both founded in 2015, the companies bring together complementary strengths. Cars24 contributes its global automotive technology platform, financing capabilities and extensive infrastructure, while Alba Cars brings its strong premium retail presence, established customer relationships, digital marketing expertise and recognised brand in the UAE.

Together, the businesses retail more than 1,000 vehicles every month across the UAE, creating one of the country’s most significant automotive retail operations, with ambitions to expand further across the region.

Over the past eleven years, Alba Cars has grown into one of Dubai’s recognised premium used car retailers, with a team of more than 200 professionals, approximately 300 monthly vehicle sales and an extensive selection of vehicles spanning more than 20 automotive brands.

Cars24, meanwhile, has established an international presence across India, the UAE and Australia, supported by substantial investment in technology, vehicle financing, refurbishment and automotive infrastructure.

The combination creates opportunities to further strengthen both businesses, bringing together the convenience of digital automotive services with the personal customer experience, brand recognition and physical retail expertise that Alba Cars has developed over the years.

Customers can expect greater vehicle choice, improved financing options, enhanced aftersales capabilities and a more seamless experience across buying, selling and owning a vehicle.
