What is Autora?

Updated December 20253 min read

Autora is a vehicle co-ownership platform that gives you access to premium cars without the burden of full ownership. Instead of buying 100% of a car you barely use, you buy a stake that matches your actual needs — typically 10–20%.

How it works

Think of Autora like owning shares in a premium vehicle. When you buy a stake:

  • • You get real usage rights measured in points
  • • A 10% stake gives you approximately 36 days of access per year
  • • You can book the vehicle through our app using AM or PM slots
  • • All maintenance, insurance, and admin is handled by us
  • • You can sell your stake anytime on our marketplace
  • • Stakes are available in 10% increments (10%, 20%, …, 100%)

What makes Autora different?

1. You actually own something

Unlike car subscriptions or leasing, you own a stake in a real vehicle. Your stake has value and can be sold on our marketplace.

2. Massive cost savings

A 10% stake in a £30,000 car costs around £3,000 — giving you 36 days of access per year. Compare that to PCP (£6,000+/year) or leasing (£5,000+/year) with zero ownership.

3. Zero admin burden

We handle insurance, MOT, servicing, repairs, parking permits, and breakdown cover. You just book and drive.

4. Total flexibility

Want to upgrade to a different car? Sell your stake. Need more access? Buy a bigger stake. Want out completely? List it on the marketplace. You're never locked in.

Quick example

Alex buys a 20% stake in a 2024 Porsche Macan priced at £65,000, paying £13,000. That provides roughly 72 days of access per year using AM/PM bookings. After 18 months, Alex decides to switch vehicles and lists the stake for £12,000.

Total cost for 18 months of premium access: £1,000 + running costs (reflecting normal depreciation). Compare that to leasing at ~£850/month: £15,300 over 18 months with zero ownership.

Who is Autora for?

Autora works best for people who:

  • • Want access to premium cars without the financial burden
  • • Don't need a car every single day
  • • Value flexibility and hate being locked into long contracts
  • • Are tired of dealing with insurance renewals, MOTs, and servicing
  • • Want the option to exit or switch vehicles easily
