Terms of service

Using CarPIQ is free and subject to the conditions below. By accessing the site, you accept these conditions.

Nature of the service

CarPIQ provides an estimate of the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of a vehicle for indicative purposes. Results are based on public sources and assumptions detailed in the methodology. They do not constitute personalised financial or purchase advice.

Limitation of liability

CarPIQ cannot be held liable for purchase decisions made based on the analyses provided. Prices, taxes and costs change: it is the user’s responsibility to verify data against primary sources before any financial commitment.

Automated access (scraping, bots) to the site is prohibited without prior authorisation. Attempts to overload, intrude or hijack will result in immediate blocking.

CarPIQ uses a limited number of cookies to ensure the operation of the site and to anonymously measure its usage.

Essential cookies

These cookies are necessary for the site to function (language preference, session persistence). They cannot be disabled.

Analytics cookies (optional)

With your consent, we use Plausible Analytics and Mixpanel to understand how the site is used (popular pages, completion rates). These tools do not use personal identifiers and do not track your activities on other sites.
