Our Story

Founded in 2003, Club Sportiva pioneered the enthusiast Car Sharing concept. By 2008, our offering grew into a collection of high performance cars, where members had access via annual points.

Today, we provide Enthusiast and Equity memberships, with primary and partner clubhouse locations throughout California. Members (individuals, families/groups and businesses) have full access to our collection of vehicles, and a wide range of programs and services, including Managed Car Services, a variety of inviting clubhouses, and an array of special events and clubhouse rental opportunities.

Our passion for cars and desire to celebrate car enthusiasts drives everything we do. Our attention to detail delivers luxury experiences that build business relationships, foster friendships, and provide pure fun. Additionally, our Equity membership model is the first of its kind in the category.

Meet the President

Club Sportiva was formed in 2003. I started in 2009, when the second owner brought me on board as a consultant after completing his acquisition of the company. At the time, I had just finished business school and my startup company in the digital media space had just been acquired. I was ready for a new, fun project at the first “classic car timeshare” concept in the United States. While the transition was amazing, the timing was not, as we were in the midst of the Great Recession.

We persevered and over the following years, I became a partner and began working on the business model to not only save the club from the recession but to develop it into the extremely unique and fun club we have today. In 2015, I took full control of the club, and we built what we like to call "the country club for car enthusiasts." Today, we serve a growing membership of car enthusiasts that enjoy access, community, and unique experiences. We also expanded to serve corporate clients with our event venue rental with over 18,000 square feet of meeting space, conference rooms, and more!

The future looks even brighter with a unique equity membership program, making the club the first member-owned, country club for car enthusiasts. Stay tuned!
