Hosting on Shotgun, share your car, keep the wheel
What it takes to host on Shotgun, who rides with you, what you're expected to do, and how insurance works before the first seat opens.
If your car draws a crowd at a local meet, it probably belongs on Shotgun.
Hosting means sharing the passenger seat, and the stories, in a car you'd never sell. You pick the drives. You choose who's asking. We handle the rest.
What kind of cars get in
Cars with a story. Pristine, original, or built on purpose, kept right by someone who loves them. Custom builds welcome; neglected isn't.
If people slow down when yours rolls by, you're our people.
What's actually expected of you
Less than you'd think:
- Pick the drives, a favorite loop, a coast run, wherever you were already headed
- Bring someone along, one vetted shotgunner in the seat beside you
- Share the stories, the build, the history, the road you know
No schedules. No pickups. No clock to punch.
You're always the one driving
Shotgun is passenger-only: you stay behind the wheel, every time. Your guest rides shotgun, hears the story, and feels the road, the car never leaves your hands. Your call, your car.
Insurance and the legal side
Every ride will be fully insured, your car, your shotgunner, the coverage. The insurance and legal stack is locked down before the first seat opens. Never something that lands on you.
Do hosts get paid?
Yes. Your time and your car are worth something. We're locking exact numbers and will lay it all out before the first drop.
