Paid To Drive
It’s true - there ARE companies who will actually PAY you to drive your car!
Think I’m nuts? I promise, I’m not. But there’s more to this than just getting paid to drive around aimlessly. Companies want to use your car as a moving billboard. Your car will need to be covered with ads. If this bothers you, I’m sorry; there’s no way around this step.
They call placing advertising on your car “ad wrapping”. Of course, there’s no cost on your part to have this done. It’s done professionally and can easily be taken off if you want to drop out of the agreement.
Here are a few of the top companies that pay to use your car for advertising. Some of these companies will even pay the cost of a new car, but it’s VERY hard to get approved for this because the waiting lists are pretty long.
And FYI, don’t be disappointed if you don’t hear from these companies right away. They have lots of people signing up and they need to manually approve applications.
(Hints: Be honest when filling out your application. Companies are looking for specific locations most of the time, and are also looking for people who drive frequently. Legit companies will NEVER ask you for a fee to register with them. If you come across one that does, don’t join - and if you have the chance, drop me a line and let me know about it.)
