About us
Inside the travel channel since 2012
Icarous grew from a simple idea: everyone who flies, boards or takes a train has to get to the terminal first. That leg was neglected, and we turned it into a product now sold by thousands of points of sale.
We're a profitable company, with proprietary technology and a highly automated operation. That efficiency is the foundation of the phase we're opening now: more integrated channels, more quality inventory and replicating the model beyond Spain.

Our value
A singular product, solved with automation
Parking excites no one: nobody dreams of parking. It's a need that shows up right when the trip begins and, handled badly, ruins it. And it's no ordinary product: the customer trusts us with their car for days, for the price of a dinner. That's where our work lies.
Product
We master the particulars of parking: real drop-off and pick-up times, capacity, seasons, incidents, and above all safety, insurance and guarantees. Looking after a car is a responsibility, not an inventory line.
Automation
A modest-ticket product is only profitable if its operation costs next to nothing. We've automated the full cycle —search, booking, voucher, payment, settlement and support— so that scale doesn't drag structure behind it.
Channel
No one looks for parking: they look to travel. That's why we're where the trip is decided —agencies, travel sites and airlines— and not on a website waiting for visitors. Without a channel there's no value proposition.
Product, automation and channel aren't three areas of the company: they're the same idea. A service that inspires trust, run almost hands-free and offered right where the customer is solving their real need.
