Last Starcar Branches in Hamburg to Close - Starcar's final branches to close by February's end

Starcar Group is set to close its final branches by the end of February. The company, once a major player in Germany's car rental market, filed for insolvency in October 2022. After months of searching for a buyer, no investors came forward to save the business.

The insolvency administrator confirmed on January 23 that Starcar and its subsidiaries would be wound down. The decision followed months of failed negotiations with potential buyers. With no industry players showing interest, liquidation became the only remaining option.

Operations had already stopped by the end of December 2022. Now, the last three branches—City-South, Langenhorn, and Altona in Hamburg—will shut their doors by February 28. Before its collapse, the group ran numerous locations across Germany, though the exact number remains unclear.

The closure marks the final step in Starcar's liquidation process. All remaining sites will cease trading within days. The company's exit leaves a gap in Germany's car rental sector, with no successor announced.
