Car rental in Vancouver and Richmond. Carview was founded in 2023 by Peter and James Takaki because of the cityscape views that tower East Vancouver. Whether you’re driving at night headed towards downtown, or driving under the mountains in the background, Greater Vancouver as a region has beauty like none other. And what better way to explore than with a fitting car. Thus, the name came from our love of the view of Vancouver. The view of the city when driving at night is absolutely beautiful. Our old mission back then was to provide a badass car rental experience for our renters. Also, we wanted to highlight the beauty of modern cities.

Ultimately, we want driving to feel like a new type of activity. We'll go to new lengths to carve out a new market. We imagine people used to rent horses back in the day. How fun it was and alive the experience. Imagine horseback riding the horse you just rented into distant lands. Now, how can this feeling be replicated into car rentals?
