About us
Making the Irish car market
more transparent
Carintel.ie is Ireland's independent used car market intelligence platform. We analyse thousands of listings across Ireland and Northern Ireland to help buyers check if a used car price is fair, sellers find out what their car is worth, and anyone considering importing a car from Northern Ireland understand the full landed cost, including VRT, NOx levy, and transport.
Our mission
Used car prices in Ireland can be difficult to judge. Buyers want to know if they're paying too much, sellers need an accurate car valuation before listing, and anyone looking at a Northern Ireland import wants to understand the real cost, VRT calculator rates, NOx levy charges, currency conversion, and whether they'll actually save money. We built Carintel to answer all of these questions with real data.
Our used car price checker analyses live market data across every make, model, year, and fuel type on the Irish market. We track price trends, calculate depreciation, compare dealer vs private sale pricing, and estimate NI import costs, so you can see at a glance whether a car is a good deal. By combining data analysis with AI, we provide market intelligence that was previously only available to large trade operations.

What we stand for
Independent price checker
We’re not a dealership or listings site. Our used car price analysis is independent and unbiased — we have no incentive other than accuracy.
Transparent valuations
Every car value estimate is backed by real market data. We show our methodology, confidence levels, and the price drivers behind every figure.
Real-time market data
Fair values, depreciation curves, price trends, and demand scores are derived from live used car listings across Ireland — not guesswork.
Built for the Irish market
Purpose-built for Ireland and Northern Ireland. We handle VRT calculation, NOx levy, motor tax bands, NI import cost estimation, and cross-border price comparison.
