Finally, a Ride-Sharing Service We'd Actually Use
A new Air B&B for cars is here. Called DriveShare, it allows you to rent someone’s collectible car.
Created by classic car insurance company Hagerty, DriveShare is essentially a ride-sharing service for exotic and classic cars. But before you think anyone can just borrow someone’s rare collectible, interested people must be vetted and will have to make a $500 deposit as well as get up to $1-million of rental protection. Included in the fees is roadside assistance, something that will likely come in handy considering many of the cars are old.

So far, there are around 135 cars available in the U.S. on the service, ranging anywhere from a 1931 Ford Model A for $179 a day to a 2015 Lamborghini Aventador for $3,300 a day.
“DriveShare gives people an easy way to get behind the wheel of cars they’ve always wanted to drive,” said CEO McKeel Hagerty in a statement. “Our goal is to provide a common platform that connects enthusiasts and owners to expand the community of people who love cars.”
