In a world where generating income is so important, you may be wondering if there are ways to earn some money with your car. You’ve probably heard of independent taxi services, but there are many other ways you can earn as a driver. You can also earn with your car while you rest at home! Here are four ways that drivers can earn money with their vehicles.
Become an Independent Cabby
There are many ways you can help other people get around town while earning some money. Two of the most popular and lucrative independent cab services are Uber and Lyft. Independent cabby services allow you to set your own schedule and pick up rides when and where you want.
Deliver the Goods
There are a few services that focus on delivering goods rather than driving passengers around town. These include AmazonFlex, UberEATS, and EatStreet. Note that AmazonFlex drivers must have a four-door car or sedan.
There are plenty of options for delivering purchased goods to someone’s home, but if you have a truck or SUV, you can use that extra utility to transport larger items and earn some cash. This is something that Uber drivers can do, and companies like Task Rabbit also provide these services. If you have a Cadillac SRX or another quality SUV, this may be perfect for you.
Advertise Using Your Car
If you log lots of miles on your car as a daily commuter, are a good driver, have a newer vehicle that’s in good shape, and are in or near a big city, you can receive money by having your car wrapped in advertisements. All you need to do is drive around! Here are a few reputable companies that provide this service:
- Wrapify
- Pay Me for Driving
- Autowrapped
The income potential depends on how much of your car is covered in advertisements and several other factors. Partial and full advertisement options are available.
Rent Your Car
Do you not put many miles on your car? Or are there days of the week where it sits unused? You can optimize those hours by renting out your car to other drivers. Two companies that provide this service are RelayRides and FlightCar.
With RelayRides, customers agree to rent your car and pick it up at whatever location you select. This can be at your home while you enjoy a day off, or it can be at your office, allowing you to generate some income while you’re at work.
Another option is FlightCar. Through this service (which is available in select cities), you simply drive to the airport and register with the company. If someone rents your vehicle while you’re on vacation, you’ll earn based on the miles driven. This is a great option for those who own a luxury vehicle, such as a Cadillac.
Whether you have extra time and want to drive people around or deliver supplies, are willing to turn your vehicle into an ad space, or want to rent it out when you aren’t using it, there are many ways to earn revenue through your car. Consider the options above, and check that your car meets any requirements when you apply.
