Toronto, ON — May 12, 2026 — Hav-A-Kar, a business built on decades of trusted relationships and deep community connections, is entering an exciting new chapter as part of the AUTO|ONE Group.

For years, Hav-A-Kar has been more than just a leasing provider; it has been a familiar and trusted presence for its customers. Many relationships have grown far beyond transactions, evolving into long-standing connections built on trust, reliability, and personal service. That foundation remains at the heart of this next chapter.

As Hav-A-Kar joins AUTO|ONE Group, customers will continue working with the same team they know and trust, now supported by expanded resources, enhanced digital capabilities, and access to a broader national network. The transition has been thoughtfully structured to ensure continuity, with no disruption to existing leases, services, or customer relationships.

“We’ve always believed this business is about people first, joining AUTO|ONE Group allows us to maintain that same personalized approach while giving our customers access to more tools, more flexibility, and more opportunity.”
– Terry Green, President, Hav-A-Kar
