'The Club' for Cars


The average lamborghini is terrible at hauling lumber. As cool as an Aston Martin is, you don’t want to take it off road for a camping expedition. It’s difficult to have all the different kinds of vehicles you might need for your various activities.

Here’s an interesting option that’s popping up: Car Clubs.

Generally, for a set monthly price, you are given access to a pool of cars. Usually based on a ‘point’ system, one might get have access to amazing vehicles for about 40 days a year – with extra time available for purchase.

There are a couple of benefits: No maintenance. They insure them. Variety.

Here are a couple of example clubs:

Club Sportiva with branches in Las Vegas, New York, and Silicon Valley

www.clubsportiva.com


The Manhattan Classic Club in New York
manhattan.classiccarclub.com


The DFW Elite Club in Dallas

Two extra benefits:

Most of the clubs sponsor social events for members

And finally, your neighbors will go crazy trying figure out what you're up to.
