The news follows Cazoo’s acquisitions of UK car subscription service Drover and vehicle reconditioning firm Smart Fleet Solutions (SFS).

Cazoo had planned to launch its own subscription service in late 2021 and this cluster of acquisitions will accelerate its plans in the European Cars-as-a-Service (CaaS) market.
