We believe that a car is more than just transportation – it’s a ticket to endless opportunities and experiences. Carousel alleviates the pains of traditional car ownership and leasing so that your ride meets your needs and makes your life that much easier.
At Carousel, you’re our top priority. We operate independently from major auto brands, providing the nation's largest vehicle subscription inventory. Experience exceptional rides, ranging from sport compacts to spacious SUVs and environmentally-friendly electric vehicles, all without the hassle of long-term commitments.
Carousel is the brainchild of Hawaii–based Entrepreneur Rima Braden. With over two decades of excellence in the Pre-Owned auto sales business, Braden perfected his brand of stylized customer service and dedication to client retention, building his business into the state’s largest independent dealership.
Born out of his desire to increase retention through an enhanced customer experience, Braden developed a unique offering that allowed customers in all market segments to drive the vehicle of their choice, for short periods of time then exchange them for another vehicle or return them without recourse. This groundbreaking all-inclusive system represented the birth of the Subscription Model as we know it today, and helped propel his dealership by providing access to vehicles that his competitors could not match.
Today Braden is pushing the Subscription Model forward by offering a proprietary software platform that allows dealers of all shapes and sizes the ability to offer their own subscription business. The platform integrates seamlessly with most Dealer Management Systems and the Carousel training and support staff ensures that from Marketing to Sales Training, Funding through Accounting, the value added to the traditional dealer model is unmatched.
“We started Carousel for people who love to drive, those who enjoy the freedom and convenience of variety without any long-term commitment. It’s designed around how and what you want to drive, and with our market tested business model fortified by our proprietary software, its accessible to Auto Dealers everywhere in just a few simple steps.”

Access to a vehicle, regardless of your station in life can be critical, and when you don’t need one maintaining your financial integrity is key. So, whether you are changing jobs, have a growing family, or navigating a worldwide pandemic, vehicle subscription can help you find your way home. Our model allows you to drive the perfect vehicle when you need it, drop it off when you don’t, pause your payments when you’re idle, and get back on the road when you’re ready. It’s not a rental and not a lease, it’s subscription, its Carousel.
