CLUB SPORTIVA – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I join Club Sportiva?
Please call (866.719.1600) or email us today to learn more about the Club and arrange for a private tour of our Clubhouse and Paddock. Club Sportiva accepts a limited number of new Members each month. This allows us to maintain a premium level of service while also giving us a better chance to know our Members.
Why should I join Club Sportiva?
Club Sportiva provides a way for our members to enjoy the thrill of driving fun, classic and exotic vehicles without enduring the hassles of ownership. We are a member-driven organization passionately dedicated to giving you the ultimate driving experience you deserve and we are always trying to identify new ways we can enhance our member's experiences, improve our stable of classic cars and expand both off-site and on-site club events.
Do I need to own a classic car to join the club?
No, the whole idea behind Club Sportiva is for people who want to drive these vehicles but don't want the hassles and costs that go along with ownership. It is an affordable alternative to owning. Many of our members, however, do already own a fun weekend car or two and love the flexibility Club Sportiva allows them.
Who owns Club Sportiva’s cars?
Club Sportiva owns and maintains all of the cars in our paddock.
What is the condition of your cars?
All vehicles have been hand-selected by Club Sportiva. Their interiors and exteriors are in excellent condition. Moreover, the mechanical condition of each vehicle is pristine.
Can I switch cars and try several?
That's what Club Sportiva is all about. You can use a different car every day, or keep one car for a three-day weekend. Owning your own classic car isn't nearly as fun!
Can I use a car for an entire week?
Of course! All that's needed is a reservation.
Are there mileage restrictions?
The number of miles you drive is unlimited. All we ask is that you don't drive beyond 150 miles from the location that you picked up your vehicle. In the unfortunate event of a breakdown, we'd hate for you to be too far away from us!
Do I need my own car insurance?
Yes. But don't worry; most policies cover all the cars in
Club Sportiva's stable.
Will I have trouble operating my car?
Each vehicle has its own charm and character. Club Sportiva ensures you are comfortable in each vehicle you use by providing a comprehensive "driver control tutorial," covering everything from starting the ignition to operating the convertible top and radio.
Is roadside assistance available?
Club Sportiva has partnered with a travel company to offer a comprehensive 24/7 Roadside Assistance Policy that is there if you need it.
Where are you located?
Club Sportiva currently has locations in San Francisco, San Jose and Munich, Germany. Our flagship clubhouse in San Francisco offers 10,000 square feet of facilities for meetings, socializing and housing our fleet of vehicles.
Club Sportiva continues to add locations in premier markets across the United States. We are pleased to announce the addition of our 2 newest locations in Manhattan and Las Vegas. In Spring 2007 we will roll out our San Diego location and by summer 2007 our Los Angeles location will be up and running.
How do I reserve a car?
Just call us. Vehicles are reserved in advance, on a first-come, first-served basis. You can always reserve a particular vehicle early, for that special event six months out.
Why is a point system used?
A Ferrari is not equivalent to an Alfa Romeo, nor is a Bentley to a Triumph. All are unique and desirable vehicles; however, a point system allows you to maximize your point usage.
Where do I park my car when I pick up a Club Sportiva car?
Club Sportiva offers secure parking at both locations for your vehicle while you are out enjoying one of ours.
Do I have to return my car clean?
All of our vehicles are thoroughly detailed for your pick up, and once again when you drop it off.
How much storage space is there in the car?
If you're planning a weekend trip to Carmel with two suitcases in tow, the Ferrari isn't for you. But the Jaguar or Triumph might be perfect. Each vehicle is different and we'll help you select the one that suits your particular needs.
