Affiliate Disclosure
CarNet is a free-to-use automotive research platform — not a car dealership or direct seller. We do not sell vehicles ourselves. Instead, we collect and showcase listings from verified third-party marketplaces. If you find a vehicle of interest on CarNet, clicking the link will redirect you to the seller’s website to complete your purchase, get more details, or begin the buying process.
To help support the tools and resources we offer, CarNet participates in affiliate programs with some of these external platforms. This means we may earn a small commission when users click certain links and complete qualifying actions — all at no additional cost to you.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are special URLs that track referrals to external websites. If you click a listing or service link on CarNet that leads to a partner platform such as Cars.com, AutoTrader, or VIN check services, we may receive a small referral fee if you make a purchase or complete a signup. This is a common and transparent method of supporting free online services like ours.
Importantly, this does not affect your shopping experience or the price you pay.
Does It Cost You Anything?
Absolutely not. Clicking on an affiliate link will never increase the cost of the product or service. In many cases, you may even receive exclusive discounts or benefits for going through our site. You always pay the same — or less — compared to visiting the site directly.
Editorial Integrity
CarNet is committed to maintaining complete editorial independence. We only recommend services, tools, or listings we have evaluated based on functionality, user feedback, or data accuracy. Affiliate relationships never influence which content we feature, and we do not accept paid placements or sponsored reviews.
Your trust is our top priority — and our team reviews everything through a lens of transparency and value.
Why Affiliate Programs Matter
Affiliate revenue allows us to build and maintain useful car research tools without charging our users. From VIN lookup tools to real-time listings and comparison features, these programs help fund the platform’s ongoing development, infrastructure, and support — while keeping it 100% free to use.
We disclose these relationships openly and use them responsibly, so you can explore CarNet with confidence.
