Irreplaceable.

A note on the maths. Time-reclaimed numbers use $60 /hour as the hourly cost of the person on your side who would otherwise be handling the task: EA, PA, family-office admin. Robert Walters UK salary data (2026) puts an experienced London EA at £24 to £28 per hour on base salary. Once employer costs (national insurance, pension, benefits, agency margin) are added in, the fully-loaded cost typically rises to £40 to £57 per hour, which converts to roughly $50 to $72 in USD. Our $60 figure sits at the midpoint of that fully-loaded band, and well below senior family-office staff on published family-office cost benchmarks (UBS, J.P. Morgan, Campden Wealth, Morgan Stanley, 2026). Losses-avoided numbers combine avoided damage (fuel, storage, cold-start), avoided fines, avoided vendor waste from unaudited subscriptions, and coverage-gap protection tracked against real market movement.
The Pricing

Straightforward, from the start.

You've seen the platform. You know what it can do. Two ways for us to do this for you with a concierge below, priced per car. Onboarding is paid once, up front, in two halves: on signing, and then on delivery. The fee then runs monthly. Thirty days' notice to end, no exit fee. No hidden charges, no negotiated add-ons, no gimmicks. On cancellation you keep your data, your files, and your domain, which we transfer to you to renew directly. Handover Records already published stay at themotorcaroffice.com forever.

The Collector
Ten or more cars · full service
from €8,500 / car onboarding
plus a monthly fee from €500 per car / month

  • The full platform: Garage, Showroom, Filing Room, Saleroom, Rally Map, Provenance Map, The Estate, and every tool released to it
  • Setup handled by our ISO 27001 and ISO 15489 accredited archival partner in your jurisdiction, either collecting your documents at your location or from a batch delivered to their nearest bureau
  • Documents are returned to you once processed. Written data-processing agreement, 30-day destruction of bureau-held copies, breach reporting.
  • Every document per car catalogued, filed and searchable, curated by the concierge
  • Monthly market valuations refreshed for you, with the working shown
  • Your own private domain and named account director

The Custodian
Fifteen or more cars · dedicated 1:1 account director
from €10,000 / car onboarding
plus a monthly fee from €750 per car / month
A dedicated named account director works with you alone. On-site archivist scanning at your storage location. Bespoke onboarding structured to the sequence and stakeholders of a collection of that scale. Up to 350 pages per car included.
  • Everything in The Collector tier
  • Dedicated named account director working with you alone, not shared with other clients
  • On-site onboarding: an archivist from our accredited archival partner attends your storage location with mobile scanning equipment. Documents never leave the room they are stored in
  • Bespoke onboarding structured to the collection's own workflow, sequence and stakeholders
  • More detailed quarterly reviews with your account director, so you can delve into the subjects you want to know more about
  • Priority scheduling on Handover Records* and Saleroom preparations
  • Coordination with your family office, trust or attorney on succession matters
  • Multi-jurisdiction and multi-family considerations handled by the concierge, not by you
Enquire about The Custodian

Priced per car, so the number tracks the collection you have, not a tier boundary. Tiers are set by collection size: ten to fourteen cars for The Collector, fifteen or more for The Custodian. The rate reflects the average value per car in the collection, because higher-value cars carry more paperwork, deeper provenance work, and closer market watching. Three bands: base rate, 1.15 times, and 1.3 times, with the boundary values shown live in the calculator above. The rate is fixed at onboarding and reviewed at each annual renewal. Prices in other currencies are converted from euros and rounded to the nearest five.

How onboarding works
Applies to Collector and Custodian engagements. Owner clients run the platform themselves.

Onboarding is sequential, one car at a time. Your concierge takes possession of the physical paperwork, either collected from your location or delivered to our accredited archival partner's nearest in-jurisdiction bureau. Every document is scanned, catalogued, filed against the platform's categories, and paired with the right images from your collection.

Custodian collections are handled at a deliberately slower pace than Collector engagements, because the on-site archivist scanning, bespoke sequencing and family office coordination need it. We'll walk through the sequence and timeline with you directly.

Nothing is rushed. Nothing is imported in bulk. Every record is placed by the person who will be responsible for maintaining it going forward.

Run the platform yourself.

For collectors whose family office, EA or private staff already handles the paperwork. The full platform is yours to run. We provide the tool, the training, and the ongoing improvements. You provide the hands. Any collection size.

The Owner
Platform licence · you and your staff run it
€35,000 / year, any collection size
plus a one-time setup of €5,000
A different animal. No account director. No per-car onboarding. You and your staff work directly in the platform.
  • Full access to every feature: Garage, Showroom, Filing Room, Saleroom, Rally Map, Provenance Map, The Estate, and every tool released to it
  • Your own private domain, brand configuration, and platform kick-off completed by our team
  • Two days of training for your staff on how to use the platform
  • Handover Records* generated and published by The Motorcar Office on request when a car leaves your care
  • Email support for platform questions
  • Your data, your documents, your domain: always yours to keep
Enquire about The Owner

* The Handover Record is the continuous provenance file the new owner receives when a car changes hands. It is generated and published by The Motorcar Office alone, because no one else holds the underlying material and every record on our domain is reviewed and issued directly by us. Included in your service, because every car that leaves a Motorcar Office collection should arrive at its next owner with the full record intact.
