How it works
From browsing to first drive.

Every listing shows the share price, the monthly running costs and how many points a year you get.
02
Contact the seller
Free during our launch. Sign in and the seller's details are yours.
03
See it, sign it

04
Book your days
Join the car's shared calendar. Points, peak days and handovers are all handled there.
The calendar
Fair days, written down.
Every share gets points, and every day costs points depending on when it falls. A winter weekday costs 0.5. A May Saturday costs 1.5. The August bank holiday costs 2. Bookings run for three days or more, and nobody can hoard the peak weekends.
Owners pay €15 a month per car for the calendar. Co-owners use it free.

Running costs
What a share really costs.
A third of an MGB runs to about €92 a month. A sixth of an E-Type, about €156.
That covers insurance with every co-owner named, vintage motor tax, a proper annual service, storage, breakdown cover and a reserve for repairs. Fuel and tolls are on whoever has the car.
Work out your costsFor owners and dealers
Your car, used and paid for.
Keep a share, sell the rest, and let three other people pay for the storage.
Private owners list up to 2 cars free. Dealers pay €99 a month to list as many as they like. You set the share price, approve your buyers and keep the whole sale price.
Questions
Before you turn the key.
The short answers. The long ones are in the guides.
Is a share an investment?
No. You own part of a real car and you get to drive it. Classic values go up and down, and sellers on Mile Club can't advertise shares on the basis of returns. Buy a share because you want to use the car.
Who holds the money when I buy a share?
Nobody but the seller. You pay them directly once you've seen the car and signed the co-ownership agreement. Mile Club charges a contact fee and calendar subscriptions, never a cut of the share price.
How is the car insured?
One classic policy in the lead owner's name, with every co-owner added as a named driver. Most classic policies want drivers aged 25 or 30 and over with a few years' licence history, so check the listing before you contact the seller.
Who pays for fuel and repairs?
You pay for your own fuel, tolls and anything you damage. Everyone pays a monthly amount into a maintenance fund that covers insurance, tax, servicing, storage and a reserve for repairs.
What if we all want the same bank holiday weekend?
Peak days cost more points, and nobody can hold more than two peak bookings more than 60 days ahead. Inside 60 days, unclaimed peak dates are open to whoever has points left. The calendar enforces all of it.
Can I sell my share later?
Yes. Give 30 days' notice and your co-owners get first refusal. If they pass, list your share on Mile Club like any other.
