Car advertising

I guess I should start by saying that my name is Richard Alex McCarthy and about 9 months ago my wife and I registered with a company that offered everyone who wanted to join, a monthly salary, just for driving their car as they usually do. Now I receive a $400 check a month, while my wife gets $650 at the end of every month.

The company we signed up with is Free Car, but there are a few other trustful agencies. From my economic point of view, it was the smartest $30 I've ever spent! There are T-shirts that cost more than that!

What is this all about?

The concept is actually pretty simple. All you need to have is an age above 18 and a driver's license. In case you already own a car, there are companies which will pay you even up to $3200 a month just to have their ads placed on your car. If you don't have a car, but you wish you did, or even if you simply don't consider your own car cool enough, the same companies will be glad to provide you with a brand new car, already wrapped in advertisements. All you will need to worry about are gas money and car insurance.

After taking this first step, all you need to do next is drive your car as you normally do: to school, to your job, to the mall etc.

What kind of advertisements will they put on?

Well, there's no need for you to worry about this. The ads these companies provide are created by good designers, so there
will be no shame in carrying them around. Even more, you will be able to choose the kind of advertisement you want on, or the kind of car you would like to drive.

Normally, there are 3 types of ads you can choose from, influencing the sum of money you will receive at the end of the month:

- ads that cover 1/4 of your car
- ads that cover 1/2 of your car
- ads that cover 3/4 of your car


Around the world, there are already more than 2 million people making extra cash this way, even though the concept is relatively new.

Don't get fooled by scam companies

If you have read my previous article, you already know what car advertising is all about and how you can easily make money by simply driving your car or how you can get a new car for free. If you haven't, please go read it, so you will get more familiar with the concept.

Unfortunately, there are always people trying to make money out of others' naivety, promising quick solutions for their problems, in exchange for a small fee. We call that "scam".

While even serious companies have to perceive a fee from people joining such programs, there are a lot of fake ones which are only interested in the money they get. After joining such scam programs, people are usually provided a list of old, mostly dead links to other scam websites in the same network. No need to talk about the "100% money back guarantee"...

So how can you avoid making the same mistake as these people?

Thankfully, there is a website called Web Trade Bureau where people can request the verification of any website that provides services or merchandise in exchange for money. According to the Web Trade Bureau, there have been investigated a total number of 174 sites that provide car advertising services, out of which only 5 are to be trusted. This means that more than 97% of the websites promoting car advertising are scams!

Anyway, after doing a little research on my own (Google actually :D), I shrank the list to only 2 websites. Apparently, the other 3 trusted sites have received a number of complaints regarding the promptitude of the services they provided, the money back policy, data organization or the small sum of money offered by the companies they promote (as far as my research went - forums, blog comments, blog posts etc).

As it was expected, these also ask for a joining fee of about $30, but unlike scam companies, this money goes into the salaries of the people that are working on providing an up to date car advertising database.

I personally was a little reticent at first thinking I could lose my money, despite all the good things I had read about them. That’s when my wife took the initiative and paid the registration fee out of her pocket (her credit card, actually).

All I can say it that I am really grateful she did that! Nowadays, she gets a $650 check every month, while I make an extra $400 per month. That’s $1050 every 30 days, and we have been doing this for more that 8 months!

The agency I registered with is Free Car, so I know they are serious and provide excellent services (that is why I highly recommend it!). The other company is Car Solution, which, according to the Web Trade Bureau, is slightly better than Car Solution.

In order to provide an honest review, I also signed up with Free Car a couple of months ago. In terms of database organization and costumer support, I have to agree with the Web Trade Bureau: they are better than Car Solution. I also recommend them if you want to get a free new car. You will be able to choose from more than 100,000 available cars!

But, talking money, I will certainly stick with Free Car, as they provide better offers.

You can make this money too, or even get a free new car. All you need to do is take action!

Requirements

Before signing up with Free Car or Car Solution, there are a few requirements you have to meet :

1. You must be at least 18 years old and have a valid driver's license.

2. They only work with companies in the United States, Canada, UK, France and (only for Free Car) Spain. Unless you are living in one of these countries, joining the this program has no use.

3. You must have car insurance (and, of course, gas money).

4. You must, in no way, deteriorate the advertisement. If this happens, you must report it to the company that provided it and they will have it changed.

5. The advertising car must be your primary car (even if you own a second car).

Where do I sign up?

Make sure you read through this entire article (even twice), as it will offer you an honest review of the best choices you have when it comes to car wrap advertising.

As I said, my wife and I receive a total of $1050 a month for driving our cars to work, grocery store and other places (she gets $650, I get $400). The company we signed up with (after paying a $30 registration fee) is Free Car, so I can honestly recommend it.

And it is not only me who says they can be trusted. The Web Trade Bureau, which is a well known agency that verifies this kind of programs, considers Free Car to be one of the best car advertising companies on the Internet.

If you become a Car Solution member, you can choose one of the 3 registering options they provide: one year membership ($30), 2 years membership ($35) or 5 years membership ($40). I would advise you to choose the one year membership, because it has the lowest price and, if you choose to get a new car, you will be able to sign a contract for 5 years (which makes the 2 and 5 years memberships quite useless). (Quick update: They have switched to a one-time-fee lifetime membership, which is $30.)

After consulting with the Web Trade Bureau and doing some research, I came to the conclusion that another “Get Paid to Drive” agency that might provide good services is Car Solution, so I signed up with them too (again, a $30 registration fee).

In terms of organization and costumer support, they are slightly better than Car Solution. They also have a huge number of available new cars from which you can choose (more than 100,000) and offer lifetime membership.

On the other side, if you already own a car you want to use for advertising, I will have to stick to my initial choice, which is Free Car. They will pay you better!

Both being serious companies, they offer a 100% money back guarantee, which means that if you don’t like the services they provide, you will get the registration fee back. I didn’t ask for a refund, as I liked these two programs a lot, but according to the same Web Trade Bureau, you will have no problem in getting your money back.

So there is no risk in registering with them: you will either get a great car advertising offer or your money back!

Bottom line, if you want money, I highly recommend Free Car. If you want a brand new car, Car Solution is your best option!
