At Carbnb, the genesis of every project lies in a discovery: that of a forgotten wreck, an end-of-life vehicle awaiting its rebirth. But to transform a wreck into a dream accommodation, safe and comfortable, chance has no place. We need sound bases, reliable structures and an aesthetic potential that will seduce our future travelers. It is in this quest for excellence that our partnership with Inter-Car takes on its full meaning.
Inter-Car is not just a simple car scrapyard. It is a true center for the recovery of end-of-life vehicles (ELVs). Their expertise in the field of auto wrecking is recognized, and their commitment to the environment aligns perfectly with Carbnb's sustainability values. Together, we don't just recycle; we upcycle, giving new and superior value to what was destined for destruction.
A rigorous selection process
Collaboration between our design teams and Inter-Car experts is daily. Every week, we inspect new arrivals. What are we looking for? Vehicles with a soul. An old Volkswagen combi with nostalgic curves, a bright yellow American school bus, or even a luxury sedan from the 80s. But aesthetics are not enough. Thanks to the technical eye of Inter-Car specialists, we verify the structural integrity of the chassis, the absence of major perforating corrosion in critical areas, and the technical feasibility of our conversions.
Depollution: a crucial step
Before even imagining the color of the curtains or the location of the bed, every vehicle must go through a strict sanitary step: depollution. Inter-Car excels in this field. Removal of batteries, draining of fluids (oils, fuel, brake and cooling fluids), dismantling of pyrotechnic elements (airbags)... Everything is treated according to the strictest environmental standards. For Carbnb, this is the guarantee of working on healthy bases, without residual odors or health risks for our future hosts.

From wreck to palace
Once the vehicle is selected and sanitized, it leaves the Inter-Car park to join our workshops. This is where the magic happens, but it would not be possible without the quality of the raw material provided. Cutting the bodywork to create openings, thermal and sound insulation, installation of water and electricity networks... all these steps depend on the initial solidity of the vehicle. Inter-Car allows us to dare bold transformations, such as adding roof terraces or lateral extensions, with complete confidence.
A positive ecological impact
This partnership is a concrete example of the circular economy. Instead of consuming tons of concrete and new materials to build bungalows or hotel rooms, we reuse tons of existing steel and glass. The carbon footprint of building a Carbnb is drastically lower than that of traditional construction. By choosing Inter-Car, we also ensure that unused vehicle parts (engines, transmissions) are reintegrated into the reuse parts circuit, extending the life of other cars still on the road.
Inter-Car is much more than a supplier; it is the first link in our value chain. Thanks to their know-how as an auto wrecker, we can guarantee our customers unique, safe and ecological accommodations. Every night spent in a Carbnb is a tribute to this collaboration, proving that the end of the road for a car can be the beginning of an unforgettable stationary journey.
