An aesthetic alternative to the garage, cost-effective and legal (with installation requiring no building permit), the carport is one of the star products in the CliKIT catalog. The made-to-measure kit concept remains, with its advantages including an accessible price adapted to every situation. Several criteria and factors can influence the price of a carport. Before you get started and select the carport that will shelter your vehicle, CliKIT presents the things you need to know.
The carport price guide
A car shelter that enhances the property beyond its obviously practical side, the evolution of the carport has diversified greatly due to its current popularity. With CliKIT's made-to-measure aluminum kit concept, combined with the many possible developments thanks to accessories and other additions, the price can also vary greatly.
Several criteria and factors can influence the price of a carport. Before you get started and select the carport that will shelter your vehicle, CliKIT presents the things you need to know.
What are the factors that influence the price of a carport?

At CliKIT alone, you will find several types of carports. There are the classic, traditional wooden car shelters, or the more modern yet equally timeless aluminum carports, and even solar carports. Between these three families, the differences are already significant. Add in the notion of surface area, height, and the options you can imagine, and you will easily understand that many factors can change the total cost of a carport. We list them one by one.
Aluminum carport: standard vs premium, which to choose?
The price can tend to increase if you choose a carport made with high-quality aluminum, treated and renowned for its absolute resistance to all conditions, including over time.
With CliKIT, the choice is a no-brainer, as we consider it a mistake to try to save on the quality of a product.
Still following the kit assembly concept, CliKIT aluminum carports are fitted with high-end profiles.
Powder-coated aluminum holds the QUALICOAT certification and is a clear guarantee of a structure that will not deteriorate over time.

Size and dimensions: single or double space?
Logically, a larger surface area or height means a higher total cost for a carport. With more materials required to build this shelter, dimensions will be one of the factors most responsible for increasing the final price.
You should therefore ask yourself whether you want to shelter one car or several on your carport. Sometimes, constraints may arise from the available space or the layout of the location where you wish to lean or free-stand your carport.
The type of carport: lean-to or freestanding?
There are aesthetic preferences but above all, practical constraints. With an existing garage or a paved driveway that wraps around one side of the house, the wall-mounted carport is often the logical choice selected by homeowners. Placed on a slab designed for this purpose, the freestanding carport is naturally more expensive than an equivalent lean-to model. And for good reason: it includes two additional aluminum posts for obvious reasons.


Options and accessories: a cost not to be overlooked
Your car deserves the best, and that is why you may be inclined to add options and accessories to your carport structure. The idea is even more likely if you wish to use your carport for other purposes, or at least take advantage of the free space to install furniture or store outdoor belongings. In this sense, adding side panels or lights to illuminate your car shelter will be options worth considering, but they must be factored into the total depreciation of this investment.
Taxes and administrative procedures: what impact on the price?
Does building a carport affect the living area? Do you need a building permit or a simple declaration? Here is what you need to know.
In the majority of cases, administrative procedures have no real impact on the price of a carport with standard dimensions. For a footprint of between 5 m² and 20 m², a prior declaration of works is sufficient. This is done free of charge at the local town hall. However, beyond 20 m², a building permit becomes mandatory.
From a tax perspective, adding a carport may lead to a reassessment of the property tax, depending on the municipality and the project's configuration. It does not modify the living area, but may be considered a taxable extension of the building.
How much does a carport cost depending on the material?
As already mentioned and for obvious reasons relating to raw materials and manufacturing, carports are not all worth the same depending on the materials used. Here is a closer look at the prices of the different carports.

What is the price of an aluminum carport?
Thanks to the CliKIT concept, which offers a made-to-measure and truly unlimited width and a depth that can approach six meters, the price of aluminum carports is flexible. This applies to all available models, whose fascias, roofings, or structural shapes determine the total amounts. So, sticking to standard dimensions (always adjustable), a freestanding aluminum carport starts at around 2,200 euros, with prices that can exceed 4,000 euros for the high-end model.
What is the price of a wooden carport?
Still as popular as ever and with undeniable charm in many homes, wooden carports remain highly sought after. At CliKIT, their price starts, depending on the model, from 2,000 euros to over 5,000 euros.
What is the price of a solar carport?
A timely addition that lets you charge your car while keeping it protected! Solar carports are increasingly popular and, always running on self-consumed electricity, they are packed with advantages. Their price, solar panels included, starts at around 3,400 euros and can reach 4,600 euros in standard size.
How to choose the best CliKIT carport according to your budget?
One of the many advantages of the CliKIT catalog, across carports, verandas, and pergolas alike, is the breadth of products on offer. For every constraint or particular desire, there is a budget to match. A strength that suits all types of homeowners, who can consistently benefit from a high-quality structure.
Small budget: how to pay less without compromising on quality?
With high-end aluminum across all structures and models, CliKIT carports do not drop in quality as the price decreases. This is a hallmark that reinforces customer satisfaction, whether they own a CLIMALUX model or the "Rolls-Royce" of carports, namely the PANORAMA.
There are, however, beyond the different models, a few tips to reduce the price of your car shelter. With only two posts, wall-mounted carports are necessarily cheaper, as are carports in entry-level colors, namely anthracite grey or white.

Mid-range budget: which carport offers the best quality/price compromise?
Several ranges priced between 3,000 and 3,500 euros represent the perfect compromise for mid-range budgets when purchasing a carport from CliKIT. The NEOLINE and CLIMALUX models have already won over many homeowners with their consistently striking appearance.
The posts, wider on the HORIZON Carport, provide a clear modern visual effect and absolute sturdiness. As always with the concept, it is also the customization options that can allow this model or others to reach a higher level of quality and finish. With options on the roofing, lighting, color, or carport accessories, mid-range budgets will have the opportunity to build the carport designed for their needs.
High-end carports: what can you expect for a large budget?
Wouldn't this be the best way to pamper your car and enhance your home? Beyond solar carports that can combine the useful with the pleasant, the PANORAMA carport represents the pinnacle of CliKIT car shelters. With no intermediate post, this high-end carport can reach seven meters in width. The simplicity and grandeur it embodies are ultimately quite striking signs, and its aesthetics tend to leave every visitor with a dazzling impression.


High budget: what do premium pergolas include?
Keep all the already-mentioned advantages of CliKIT aluminum pergolas and, moving toward the premium end, you get the true pinnacle of the pergola. With a choice of roof tones, varied colors, and a wealth of well-thought-out details, you have access to the ultimate in pergolas, always at an unmatched price. Simplicity and understated elegance are also symbols of luxury, and thanks to its premium products and pergola accessories, CliKIT shines in this area too.
What are the advantages of choosing a CliKIT carport?
By trusting one of the carport models available at CliKIT, you are above all embracing a concept with a recognized reputation. With no hidden costs and structures designed and engineered so you can save on the overall price by installing it yourself, with only the help of one other person, the CliKIT carport is far more accessible than other offers on the market. All this, without ever cutting corners on material quality, while benefiting from ongoing support from the start of the project through to after-sales service, sometimes several years after installation.
Here are the main advantages of a CliKIT Carport:
- Ongoing support and answers to your questions from the very start of the project
- Made-to-measure dimensions
- A DIY kit assembly that drastically reduces the cost of the structure
- A customizable carport
- A modular carport with many possible options
- A possible upgrade to a solar carport with overlay solar panels to produce energy and charge your vehicle through self-consumption
- A lower cost than a garage and very simple maintenance.

How to install a CliKIT carport yourself?
CliKIT carports, like pergolas, are designed and engineered for easy kit installation. Only the help of one other person is needed for a few hours, and only basic knowledge is required to carry out the assembly. The customer support and after-sales service ensure you have full assistance for any question or issue that may arise during installation.
The installation guides, as well as the video tutorials, are greatly appreciated by the brand's customers. With a little elbow grease, attention to detail, and a few hours to spare, you can assemble your carport yourself and have your car sheltered by that very evening.
What is the maintenance cost of a CliKIT carport?
With cleaning similar to that of a pergola, the maintenance cost of a CliKIT carport is relatively low. Throughout the year, it does not exceed a few tens of euros, even when including the cost of water, products, and cleaning accessories such as cloths or soft brushes.
To be honest, a gentle clean with natural products and a rinse with clear water is enough to properly maintain your carport and preserve its characteristics for many years.
How to finance the purchase of your CliKIT carport?
Depending on current policies, the French tax authorities may put in place assistance measures (such as zero-interest loans) for pergola or carport installations. Banks may, on their own initiative, follow a similar approach, but for payment without credit, the solution offered by CliKIT also remains advantageous.

Thanks to Alma, CliKIT offers you a secure payment in two or three installments, free of charge. This allows you to spread the cost and enjoy your new carport without having to pay the full — and nonetheless significant — sum all at once.
