Auto Earnings

Yes, you can get paid to drive your own car. With today's gas prices well over $2 a gallon this is no small thing. Of course, there are scams in this work just like in any other, but there are truly legitimate get paid to drive opportunities.
The get paid to drive concept is straightforward. The firm that hires you places an advertisement on the outside of your car. Sometimes that firm will even provide the car. You drive it and as you drive it people view the advertisement. For this you earn money.

These advertisements are removable, so that they don't harm your car's finish or require a repaint to rid yourself of them should you discontinue the get paid to drive job. The ads are generally attractive vinyl or decals. You might get an ad wrap that is a complete-car style, or one that is partial. It may be a decal that you place in the car windows.

Generally you are hired not by the firm that you are advertising but by a media buyer or advertising company that is paid a commission by the advertised firm. The money that you earn as you get paid to drive is part of the commission paid to the advertising firm.

Of course, you must qualify for this position. The first criteria are where you live and where you drive. High visibility and high traffic are crucial. If you live in 3000 population Hicksville and your only trips are the three miles to the plant and the four miles to the grocery store, you won't get paid to drive.

If, however, you live in a suburb of Houston and commute 20 highway miles each morning and evening, returning to your highly visible well trafficked condominium complex, you may be just what the advertising firm is looking for.

You must be at least 18 to qualify for a get paid to drive position, with a valid license, clean driving record, and clean attractive car. You will be asked to sign a written agreement that indicates where and when you are going to be driving and under what circumstances. Seldom does the hiring firm pay for any auto insurance or maintenance. If you don't like an ad you can turn it down, of course.

You might even be hired by an advertising firm that will place a GPS locator system in your car to verify you are traveling when and where you agree to travel, and for the agreed upon number of miles. The firm may conduct periodic inspections to assure that the ad remains on your car and in good visible condition.

While some companies looking for drivers advertise online most do not. Primarily because the get paid to drive opportunities are so much in demand. This may suggest that those that advertise online are the least lucrative or least legitimate. Tread carefully here. What you might find online are firms that are paid by the advertising companies who are paid by the companies that need the ads displayed. While this could work out in the end for you it certainly creates another generation of folks dipping into the revenue that, if nothing else, waters down your earnings.

The best solution for finding a get paid to drive position is to subscribe to a directory of advertising companies. You may pay over $25 to do so, but the more reputable ones offer a guarantee, some up to 90 days. The directories will take you to the advertising firms and the application process. But once there you should never pay money upfront to any of these advertising firms. If you are asked to do so, assume this firm is not legitimate and steer clear.

Before you spend the money for a directory subscription and the time it takes to apply to the various get paid to drive advertising firms, keep in mind that there is probably no point in applying if you don't drive a minimum of 1000 miles each month and don't live and/or drive daily in a high traffic area. Be aware, too, that it could take up to three months before you get any positive response and a get paid to drive position.
