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.
