Everything a car show host needs

Online registration with caps

Participants register online before the show. Set a participant cap so parking, classes, and trophies are planned before event day instead of guessed at the gate.

Class and category selection

Entrants pick their class during registration - Classic, Muscle, Import/JDM, Truck, or your custom classes - so judging sheets and lot layout are ready before the first car rolls in.

Registration payments

Charge for entries or keep registration free - you set the price and keep the proceeds. Every payment is tracked in your host dashboard with the entrant's name and class.

QR code check-in

Each registrant gets a QR code. Scan at the gate and the car is checked in instantly with a live headcount by class. Line moves fast, gate staffing stays minimal.

Attendee updates

Schedule changes, rain dates, parking instructions - push updates to everyone registered for your show instead of fielding the same question fifty times.

Free discovery on the live map

Every listing also goes on the Driveway live event map and city pages, so your registration page gets found by local car people without you spending a dollar on promo.

Car show registration questions

What is the best car show registration software?

The best car show registration software does three things well: online sign-up ahead of the show, a participant cap with a class list so parking is planned, and fast check-in when cars roll in. Driveway does all three with QR code check-in, plus free listing on the live event map.

How much does car show registration software cost?

Listing an event on Driveway is free. If you charge for registration, you set the price for your show. That makes it work for free community meets and large judged shows alike.

Can I collect registration payments online for a car show?

Yes. Driveway handles online registration including paid entries where the host sets the price. Payments and entries are tracked in your host dashboard so you know who paid and which class they entered before event day.

How does QR code check-in work at a car show?

Each registered participant gets a QR code. At the gate you scan it from your phone and the car is checked in instantly - no paper lists, no cash box, and a live count of cars per class as they roll in.
