Advertising agencies contract vehicle owners who are willing to wrap their cars with ads. You get paid to drive your own car each month. Although you will not be able to quit your day job, you can make some extra cash while driving your daily commute. Companies pay $500 or more each month with contract terms as short as three months and as long as two years. There are certain requirements you and your car must meet before advertisers will consider contracting you as a paid driver.
Instructions
1. Meet age requirements. You must be at least 18 years old for consideration. Some companies set the age requirement at 21 years of age.
2. Produce a valid driver's license and clean driving record. Your driving history in the past 24 months should be free of any serious traffic infractions.
3. Meet the mileage requirements. The minimum number of miles a company requires you to drive each month varies. The average is around 800 to 1,200 miles per month. The company may want to install a GPS to make sure you meet the mileage requirement once you are contracted.
4. Agree to a background check. Companies screen applicants to ensure drivers do not have a criminal record.
5. Keep your vehicle well-maintained and free of body damage. Most applications will ask for the year, make, model, mileage and condition of your vehicle.
6. Live in a highly populated area to increase exposure. Companies want to reach as many potential customers as possible.
7. Drive on freeways and in high-traffic areas.
8. Search for legitimate agencies that specialize in mobile advertising. Avoid companies that charge a fee for a list of companies. The information is available free of charge by searching the web. Time Magazine and AOL.com both mention Free Car Media. The site allows you to enter your information into a database accessible to a variety of advertisers.
