Owning a classic or iconic car is a passion that DRIVESHARE lets you share with others. Whether you're offering your vehicle for special events, film productions, or simply for fellow car lovers to enjoy, there are several ways you can maximize your rental potential.

Here are some handy tips to help you make the most of your DRIVESHARE listing.

1. Take Great Photos of Your Vehicle

First impressions matter, and high-quality images are key to getting the attention of potential renters. Make sure you take clear, high-resolution images (1MB or larger) of your car from different angles:

  • Profile, three-quarter view, front and rear shots.
  • Don’t forget to show off the interior.
  • Include action shots of the car on the move to give renters a real sense of the experience.

2. Keep Your Info and Pricing Accurate

Be transparent and detailed it comes to filling out your vehicle’s listing, by include everything a renter needs to know:

  • Vehicle features, specifications, and any quirks.
  • Compare your pricing to similar vehicles on the DRIVESHARE platform to ensure you’re competitive, but don’t undersell yourself – after all, your car is unique.
  • Make sure your listing tells a story – share why you love your car and what makes it special. People connect with the passion behind the vehicle.

3. Stay Connected with the DRIVESHARE App

To make communication easier, if you're in the US, you can download the DRIVESHARE app for iPhone or Android. (This is not currently avilable for BookAclassic users.)

  • Enable messaging notifications so you can respond quickly to potential renters.
  • The faster you reply, the more likely you are to secure a booking.

4. Keep Your Availability Up to Date

Make sure your calendar always reflects when your car is available. Not only does this save time for both you and renters, but it also maximizes your chances of being booked.

5. Promote Your Listing

Don't be shy – share your DRIVESHARE listing far and wide. Here are some ways to get your car noticed:

  • Post about your listing on social media channels like Instagram, Facebook, and X.

There could be a world of rental opportunity right in your backyard. Nearby hotels, event venues, photographers, or wedding planners could be looking for a unique car like yours, so why not reach out and offer your car for events, photo shoots, or film productions?

7. Attend Shows and Events

  • Take part in local car events (use Google to see what's happening near you), wedding fairs, or sports events where your car is bound to get noticed.
