An aesthetic alternative to the garage — cost-effective and legally compliant (installable without a building permit) — the carport is one of the star products in the CliKIT catalog. The custom-made, kit-based concept stands out for its 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 walks you through everything 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 greatly diversified thanks to its current popularity. With CliKIT's custom-made aluminum kit concept, combined with the many possible upgrades through accessories and add-ons, the price can also vary considerably.
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 walks you through everything 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, and the more modern yet equally timeless aluminum carports, as well as solar carports. Between these three families, the differences are already significant. Add to that 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 should you choose?
The price can tend to increase when opting for a carport made from high-quality aluminum, treated and renowned for its absolute resistance to all conditions, including over time.
With CliKIT, the choice is straightforward — we firmly believe that cutting corners on product quality is never worth it.
Still following the kit assembly and self-installation concept, CliKIT aluminum carports are fitted with premium-grade profiles.
Powder-coated aluminum carries the QUALICOAT label and provides a clear guarantee of a structure that will not deteriorate over time.

Size and dimensions: 1 car or 2 cars?
Logically, a larger surface area or greater height means a higher total cost for a carport. With more materials required to build this shelter, dimensions will be one of the main factors responsible for driving up the final price.
You should therefore ask yourself whether you want to shelter one car or several on your carport. Sometimes constraints can arise from the available space or the layout of the location where you want to lean or self-support your carport.
The type of carport: wall-mounted or freestanding?
There are aesthetic preferences, but above all, practical constraints. With an existing garage or a paved driveway hugging one side of the house, the wall-mounted carport is often the logical choice made by homeowners. Placed on a dedicated slab, a freestanding carport is naturally more expensive than an equivalent wall-mounted model. For good reason: it includes two additional aluminum posts for obvious structural 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 want 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 cost recovery of this investment.
Taxes and administrative procedures: what impact do they have 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 standard-size carport. For a footprint 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 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 custom-made and truly unlimited width as well as a depth that can approach six meters, the price of aluminum carports is flexible. This applies to all available models, where the fascias, roofing, or structural shapes determine the total amounts. Therefore, sticking to standard dimensions (always adjustable), a freestanding aluminum carport starts at around €2,200, with prices that can exceed €4,000 for the premium model.
What is the price of a wooden carport?
Still as popular as ever and undeniably charming in many homes, wooden carports remain highly sought after. At CliKIT, their price starts, depending on the model, from €2,000 to over €5,000.
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, running on self-consumption of electricity, they offer a wealth of advantages. Their price, solar panels included, starts at around €3,400 and can reach €4,600 in standard size.
How to choose the best CliKIT carport for your budget?
One of the many advantages of the CliKIT catalog — whether for carports, verandas, or pergolas — is the breadth of products on offer. For every constraint or specific 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 premium-grade aluminum used across all structures and models, CliKIT carports do not compromise on quality as prices decrease. This is a hallmark of the brand that reinforces customer satisfaction, whether they own a CLIMALUX model or the "Rolls-Royce" of carports — 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 inevitably less expensive, as are carports in entry-level colours, namely anthracite grey or white.

Mid-range budget: which carport offers the best quality/price ratio?
Several ranges priced between €3,000 and €3,500 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 consistently striking results.
The wider posts on the HORIZON Carport deliver a clearly modern visual effect and absolute robustness. As always with the concept, the customization options also allow this model and others to reach a higher level of quality and finish. With options for the roof, lighting, color, or carport accessories, mid-range budgets can build the carport tailored to their desires.
High-end carports: what can you expect for a large budget?
Would this not be the finest 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. Its inherent simplicity and grandeur are ultimately quite striking, 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 tints, varied colors, and a multitude of well-thought-out details, you have access to the very best in pergolas, always at an unbeatable price . Simplicity and understated elegance are also hallmarks of luxury, and through its premium products and pergola accessories, CliKIT excels in this area too.
What are the advantages of choosing a CliKIT carport?
By trusting one of the carport models available from CliKIT, you are above all embracing a concept with a well-established reputation. With no hidden costs and structures designed and manufactured so that you can save on the overall price by installing it yourself — with only the help of a friend or family member — the CliKIT carport is far more affordable than other offerings on the market. All without ever skimping 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
- Custom dimensions
- A kit assembly to be carried out by yourself, which drastically reduces the cost of the structure
- A customizable carport
- A modular carport with numerous possible options
- A possible upgrade to a solar carport with solar panels added on top 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 manufactured for easy kit installation. Only the help of a friend or family member is needed for a few hours, and only basic knowledge is required to carry out the assembly. Technical assistance and after-sales service ensure unwavering support for any question or issue that may arise during installation.
The installation guides, like the video tutorials, are very well received by the brand's customers. With a bit of elbow grease, attention to detail, and a few hours to spare, you can assemble your carport yourself and have your car sheltered by the very same 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.
In truth, a gentle clean with natural products and a rinse with clean water is all it takes to properly maintain your carport and preserve its characteristics for many years to come.
How to finance the purchase of your CliKIT carport?
Depending on current policies, the French tax authorities may put in place assistance schemes (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 secure payment in two or three installments, at no extra cost. This allows you to spread the payments and enjoy your new carport without having to pay the full — and nonetheless significant — amount all at once.
