Exotic Car Rental Network Launches New Directory Dedicated to Exotic Car Clubs

    /24-7PressRelease/ - DALLAS, TX, January 22, 2007 - The Rent Exotic Cars Network (www.RentExoticCars.net) has added a new directory devoted to exotic and luxury car clubs. Exotic Car Clubs (www.ExoticCarClubs.com) includes both exotic car share clubs and fractional ownership exotic car clubs. "This type of directory website doesn't exist anywhere else," says Cheryl Lyman, webmaster and president of CS Publications (www.cspublications.com).

"Once we launched www.RentExoticCars.net, many exotic car clubs asked to be listed," says Lyman. "Research showed us why: there wasn't a directory exclusive to the exotic car club industry. Some directories listed car clubs with rental companies. Although they belong there, we felt that car clubs deserved a directory devoted exclusively to them, so we launched www.exoticcarclubs.com."

"All segments of the exotic car sharing, rental and time share industry are growing," reports Ron Sturgeon, president of the recently formed Exotic Auto Rental Association (www.exoticautorentalassoc.com) and founder of DFW Car Club.com (www.dfwelitecarclub.com). "Since we met to form an association, I have had steady emails about the business, so it's obviously getting attention. Consumers want the product, but not enough entrepreneurs have been willing to enter this highly fragmented niche. This new directory will help exotic car enthusiasts find share clubs and fractional ownership opportunities near them by visiting an easy-to-use website."

Fractional car clubs are a small but growing part of the picture. According to a recent Helium Club report, "some clubs provide members fractional usage of or ownership in one car, whereas other clubs provide members fractional usage of a fleet of exotic cars."

AutoWeek magazine uses a familiar concept to describe how car clubs work in their article, "Country Clubs for Car People (February 20, 2006). According to the article, "The [exotic car club] premise is simple: Pay a prescribed amount each year to participate, get 10 - 20 or more days in a bunch of desirable cars. The generic name for these enterprises could be car lease clubs, but the guys behind the clubs prefer you think of them as country clubs for car people."

Exotic Car Clubs.com lists each club with contact information, specifics on the type of club, and links to each club's site. The site will also feature a calendar, news and articles about specific exotic car clubs and the industry as a whole. A blog devoted to items of interest to exotic car club members is included. Drivers are invited to share their experiences. Visitors may subscribe to the free blog feed to receive immediate notice of new events and items. Now there is one place for the exotic car club community to go for information. "The site is devoted to exotic car clubs, and we want to make it a place members look forward to visiting," says Lyman.

"Exotic Car Clubs.com gives one central site on the internet for information and news of all clubs, domestic and international. The directory will help promote the fleet-sharing industry as a whole. Cheryl is the web pioneer in this sector, and has created a unique and useful directory. It is worthy of our support," states Henri Deschamps, president and founder of Club Ferdinand (www.clubferdinand.us).
