Carva

Intelligent car ownership

Your car.
Smarter.

Carva connects your driving, vehicle health, fuel, maintenance, documents and parking into one experience — and uses what it learns to tell you what actually needs your attention.

Useful offline

Saved records and manual tools work on your phone. Maps, AI, sharing, backup and current online data need a connection.

Evidence only

Carva never invents a figure. If it has no data, it says so.

You choose

Nothing is shared with anyone until you explicitly turn it on.

The platform

One app instead of a glovebox, a spreadsheet and a guess.

Five connected areas. Each one makes the others smarter.

Drive

Journeys captured automatically, with route, distance, time and a replay of where you went.

Garage

Vehicle health, service history, diagnostics and warning lights — in one place.

Fuel & costs

True full-to-full economy, cost per kilometre, and how optimistic your dashboard really is.

Documents

Insurance and inspection scanned, dated and reminded before they lapse.

Carva AI

Ask about your own car and get an answer grounded in its actual records.

Parking

Carva notices where you left the car and walks you back to it.

Driving insight

How you accelerate, brake and corner — measured from real journeys, never a target.

Road trips

Everyone on one live map, with group chat and short voice notes. Join a club and run competitions.

Carva AI

An assistant that has actually read your service book.

Most car advice is generic. Carva AI answers using your vehicle's own specifications, service history, fuel record and recent journeys — so "what's due next?" gets a real number, not a guideline.

  • Grounded in your own records, not averages
  • Suggests questions from what it can actually see
  • Explains a sound or warning light in plain language

Drive

Your drives, captured without asking.

Carva notices sustained movement and starts recording. No button, no forgetting. When you stop, the journey is written up and your parking spot is already saved.

  • Route, distance, duration and speed from real GPS
  • Cinematic replay of any journey
  • Parking remembered automatically at the end of a drive
  • Road trips with live positions, chat and short voice notes

Garage

Know what the car needs before it tells you.

Service records, expenses and warning events build a picture over time. Carva only publishes a health score once real records back it — never a number invented from nothing.

  • Service history and what's due next
  • Dashboard warning lights identified by camera
  • Live engine data with a plug-in OBD scanner
  • Battery monitoring and connected devices

Fuel & ownership

Economy you can actually trust.

Carva calculates consumption full tank to full tank, instead of averaging whatever two readings happen to sit next to each other — then tells you how far your dashboard's own figure drifts from reality.

  • True full-to-full km/L
  • Cost per kilometre from real spend
  • Your dashboard's offset, measured over time
  • Expenses, documents and reports in one record

Road trips

Take the whole group, on one shared map.

Set a meeting point, a destination and stops, then share a join code. Everyone's position, an online roster and a group chat stay in sync for the length of the trip.

  • Live positions on one shared map
  • Route, stops and departure time set once for the group
  • Group chat with short press-and-hold voice notes
  • Join by code — no account required for the passenger seat

Privacy by design

Your car's life is yours.

Carva keeps a local copy of your records and clearly marks features that send data online.

Local first

Your records are written to your device and manual record-keeping works without an account. Online maps, AI, backup and shared features need a connection.

Your backup, your account

If you sign in, Carva backs your records up to a private area only your account can open — so a new phone can restore them.

Sharing is explicit

Road trips, clubs and Family & Friends share only what you switch on, person by person. Turn a section off and the shared copy is deleted.
