Renting out your classic car doesn’t have to be just about time on the road. With DRIVESHARE, many owners choose to share their cars as part of weddings, events, photo shoots and other special occasions, where the car itself is the focus.
In fact, in our recent owner survey, nearly half of respondents told us that one of their motivations for listing was to see their car take part in events and photo shoots. This was great to hear and it highlights just how important these types of bookings can be.
Event rentals: your car in the spotlight
For event bookings, classic cars are often the centrepiece. From weddings and brand campaigns to film and photography shoots, these bookings are usually about presence rather than driving.
When your car is booked for an event, it’s typically delivered to the location by you, and no one else drives it. This gives you full control while allowing your car to be part of something memorable. Many owners choose to make their cars available exclusively for event use, especially if they prefer to limit general driving.
Listing your car for events on DRIVESHARE is simple, and you can decide exactly how it’s used. Whether it’s a high-profile shoot or a private celebration, your car gets its moment while staying in safe hands.
Chauffeured bookings: being part of the occasion
Some owners choose to offer chauffeured bookings, which are particularly popular for weddings, proms and milestone celebrations. In these cases, you or a hired chauffeur do the driving, allowing guests to enjoy the experience without worrying about the details.
Chauffeured bookings can also be a way to stay closely involved, be present at the event and see first-hand how your car contributes to the day. You set your own availability and pricing, and can decide whether this option is right for you.
How to list your car for events or chauffeuring
When editing your vehicle listing, you can choose whether your car is available for driving, event-only bookings or chauffeured use. For chauffeured bookings, you’ll see a suggested price, which you can adjust based on your availability and the type of event. If you’d like someone else to act as chauffeur, they’ll simply need to be verified on DRIVESHARE.
Thinking beyond the drive
For many owners, event and photo shoot bookings are about more than income. They’re a chance to see their car appreciated, photographed and celebrated in ways that don’t involve handing over the keys.
If you’d like to explore event or chauffeured bookings, you can update your listing at any time on DRIVESHARE in the US, or BookAclassic by DRIVESHARE in the UK and Europe, and let your car take center stage.
