Specializing in the newest, top-of-the-line, “super cars” the Van Horssen Group 100 members now have access to 11 cars including a Ferrari 575M Maranello, an Aston Martin DB9, a Porsche 911 GT3, and the Rolls-Royce Phantom. The club plans to add three new cars this year.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ronald Van Horssen founded the club after checking out the European clubs. He saw the business opportunity in the exotic car club model, and believes in high quality customer service and simplifying membership. He also believes in accessibility and offers multiple locations in Phoenix, Palm Springs, Las Vegas, California, and Florida.
Membership
Trying to simplify membership , the Van Horssen Group has no point system. Instead, they offer four membership levels. Each level gives members access to different cars, and deposits are used like a debit account. The basic level is $8,000, silver $15,000, gold $25,000, and platinum $40,000. There is also a one-time, $2,000 lifetime initiation fee.
Clubhouse and Special Events
The Van Horssen Group has clubhouses in most of their locations. They offer special social events like this year’s “Fish and Drive Experience” – a six day fly fishing and driving trip for an eight member group. They are also planning a golf and drive event and launch parties for new cars as they are added.
Car Use Basics
Usage is $75 to $1,500 per day depending on which car a member chooses. There is complimentary delivery and pick up, and a mileage allowance of 100 miles per day. Cars can be used one day at a time (24 hours with 2 hour grace period) or as long as members want, and reserved without restriction. Finally, a member’s personal auto insurance is considered their primary insurance. The Van Horssen Group offers secondary coverage after that. Chauffeurs are also available.
