At Caribou, we believe that taking control of your car payments should be a simple, transparent process.

Too many people are driving around with a bad deal on their auto loans and car insurance. What’s more, many people don’t realize it, or don’t know what to do about it. Through our partnerships with local and community lenders, we bring customers competitive rates and lower monthly payments for both their auto loans and car insurance. 

Caribou is built by leaders from the technology, automotive, and finance industries, and is proud to be backed by a great team of venture capital investors.
