Do you want to monetize your car without driving someone around (like Uber or Lyft) or delivering food (like Uber Eats, Grubhub, Doordash, etc.)? There are a number of services that will pay you to wrap your vehicle in an ad, turning your wheels into a mobile billboard. If throwing advertisements on your car isn’t embarrassing to you, this is passive income that pays great money. You can go about your day driving to all the same places you would have driven to anyway, while earning significant cash on the side.
If you decide to work with a car warp advertising company, remember to review the terms and conditions of the service carefully and ensure that you comply with local/neighborhood regulations regarding car advertising. Also, be weary of companies that ask you to pay an upfront fee to wrap your vehicle in an ad. Legit car wrap advertising services don’t ask for upfront money.
