RumbleSeat is free whether you run a car club or you're just here for your cars. The only costs appear when money moves — and they're different for clubs and for individuals.
Clubs run free and pass on two small fees. Individuals join free and pay a premium only if they win a car at auction.
Run your club free and collect dues, memberships and event fees. Two small fees apply to payments — and you decide who covers them.
Your garage, the community feed and classifieds are all free. The only fee is a buyer premium when you win an auction in the Marketplace.
Members cover the platform and card fees whenever you choose to pass them on — so your full membership or event amount lands in your account.
There's no fee to run your club on RumbleSeat. The only costs apply to the money you collect from members — and each one can be passed on or absorbed.
Everything you need to organize and grow your club — no setup fee, no monthly fee, no member limits.
When you collect dues, memberships or event fees, two costs apply to that money. Pass them to members — as a separate line or built into your price — or cover them yourself.
Down the road we'll introduce advanced premium features as optional paid add-ons. All core functionality your club relies on stays free — you'll only ever pay for extras you choose to turn on.
Pass each fee to your members at checkout, or cover it yourself and have it deducted from your payout. Flip the switches to watch it change.
Join, build your garage, and connect with the community at no cost. The only thing you'll ever pay is a buyer premium when you win a car at auction.
Everything an enthusiast needs to track, show off, and find their next car.
Added to your winning bid at checkout — capped at $4,500, no matter how high the sale. Sellers keep their full hammer price.
RumblePay, powered by KeySavvy, handles secure payment, title transfer, and lien payoff in one guided workflow — so buyers and sellers can complete a deal without the risk of cash, cashier's checks, or title headaches. Sellers switch RumblePay on per listing, so not every listing offers it — and we strongly recommend enabling it.
Sellers enable RumblePay per listing — look for the RumblePay badge when you shop — and it's billed directly by KeySavvy, not as a RumbleSeat platform fee. Not every listing offers it, but we strongly recommend it.
Yes. The platform is free for both car clubs and individual members — no setup fee, no monthly fee, no member limits. Fees only apply when money actually moves. For clubs, that's a 1% platform fee and card processing on payments you collect. For individuals, it's a buyer premium only when you win a car at auction. Classified listings are free.
Nothing to run your club. The only costs apply to money you collect from members — a 1% RumbleSeat platform fee plus credit card processing (2.9% + $0.30, charged by Stripe at cost). You choose whether to pass each fee to members at checkout or cover it from your payout. Leave both on and the platform costs your club nothing.
Joining RumbleSeat, your digital garage, the community feed, and classified listings are all free with no commission. The only fee you'll ever pay is the auction buyer premium — and only if you win a car at auction.
That's up to the club. Joining a club is free, but if a club charges for membership, dues or paid events, it can choose to pass on the platform and card fees — or absorb them itself. If a club passes a fee on, you'll see each one as its own clearly labeled line at checkout before you pay, so there's never a surprise.
When you win a car at auction, a 4.5% buyer premium is added to your winning bid at checkout, capped at $4,500 no matter how high the sale. It's paid by the winning bidder. Sellers keep their full hammer price, and there are no listing or reserve fees.
Card payments are handled by Stripe, our payment partner, which charges 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. RumbleSeat passes this through at cost — nothing added on top. Card-network rules require it to appear as its own labeled "surcharge" line at checkout, which we handle for you.
Two ways, and it's your choice. Add them as separate lines and each fee shows clearly — "RumbleSeat platform fee" and "Credit card surcharge" — with a plain-language explanation. Or build them into your price, and members see one clean total with no separate surcharge line. Either way, the member covers the fees, not your club.
Whether you're running a club or chasing your next build, there's nothing to pay until money changes hands — and even then, it's all out in the open.
