Get a Free Car — Really?
Is it really possible to get a free car or be paid to drive your own car?
Yes, people all over the U.S. and other countries are doing it every day. But before you begin planning your next vacation trip in your new free car, you should understand how free car programs work.
I’m sure you’ve seen cars and other vehicles driving around “wrapped” in colorful advertisements for a business, product, or maybe a new movie. Some of these are company vehicles promoting their own company. However, most others are actually ordinary people who are driving free cars or being paid to drive their own cars.
Advertising companies use “mobile ads” as a way of promoting clients’ companies and products.
Vehicles are “wrapped” with a special printed vinyl material that can be easily changed or removed without damaging paint. It can even be placed to completely cover side and rear windows because it is perforated with small holes that allows the driver to see out clearly.
How does it work?
Advertising companies all over the country use vehicle wrap programs and take applications from people who are interested in driving a free car, or in getting paid to drive their own “wrapped” car. They are usually located in larger cities, in university towns, or in regions in which a client wants to promote a new business or restaurant. A mobile phone company might be expanding into a new area. Or an energy drink company might want to build excitement about a new product release.
Obviously, these advertising companies want their mobile ads to be exposed to as many people as possible. This means they want their wrapped vehicles to be driven in highly populated areas where the ads will be seen often. University towns, busy urban areas, tourist spots, beaches, and heavily traveled streets are ideal.
When you apply for this kind of program you will be asked about your driving habits, how often you drive, where you drive, where the car might be parked during the day, and other questions that relate to the number and type of people who will potentially see your wrapped vehicle. You may also be asked about your driving record.
How do I apply for a free car?
You can of course locate and contact advertising agencies in your area as ask if they use mobile ad vehicle wrap programs. Agencies that use this type of advertising may not use it all the time. You’ll have to know when they do and when they need drivers. It won’t be easy.
There is a better way.
Specialized online services such as TheFreeCar and FreeCarSolution provide directories of advertising firms that offer free cars (or payment for driving your own car) with detailed application and contact information. They require a “membership” fee to get their directory but it can be a worthwhile investment if it means the possibility of a free car. There’s little risk because the companies mentioned above have a money-back guarantee through their payment service, even though they may fail to mention it.
What are my chances?
Realistically, it should not be a surprise that there are lots of people who want free cars or to be paid to drive their own car. And advertising companies don’t have thousands of vehicles driving around with ads on them. So the competition is going to be substantial. However, as the old saying goes, “You must have a ticket to win.” If you don’t apply, and apply in as many places as possible, you have no chance at all. And don’t give up too quickly — it might take a few months. Other people have gotten lucky, why not you.
