If you have a car in fair to tip-top condition, in some cases you can utilize it as a vehicle to earn cash. Use your creativity and investigate the needs of consumers and businesses in your area if you want to make money by driving your car. Maximize your earnings by taking steps to create multiple car-related income streams at the same time.
Instructions
Advertising Vehicle
1. Transform your car into an outdoor advertising vehicle and present it as a low-cost way for small local businesses to advertise their services or products.
2. Order a set of car magnets that say "advertise here" with your phone number or website address. You can then order more magnets for your clients. Equip your car with a top advertising sign, similar to the one you see on taxis, where you can place more ads by businesses in the area. Though it is more expensive, you can also do a full wrap of your car to advertise a company for a fee.
3. Create small flyers or brochures promoting your car advertising services. Provide a rate card, a picture of the vehicle and terms of the vehicle advertising agreement. Some "paid to drive" programs will hire you to put ads on your car for a variety of clients.
Personal Driver or Taxi Service
4. Secure a livery or chauffeur's license from your local town or city administration office. You also may have to secure a commercial license and appropriate insurance.
5. Install a safety divider in your car to separate you from passengers when driving. Establish a business line to accept calls for pickups and affix that dispatch number to the side or back of your car.
6. Take fares to and from your local transportation center or airport to earn money while driving your car. Advertise your livery service in the local paper and yellow pages.
Courier Service
7. Provide an affordable courier service within your area to regional businesses. A courier picks up and delivers very urgent communications that must arrive the same day, usually within the immediate area.
8. Establish and register the small courier operation with your state. In addition to a courier's license, you also must secure business vehicle insurance for this idea as well.
9. Advertise the courier service in your local Yellow Pages (on and offline). Drop off your business card to local businesses as well as a brochure containing a sample price list for your delivery service.
