Make money from your car – if you dare!

Let’s face it – this time of year often sees many people scraping the bottom of the barrel to cover the bills. If you regularly find yourself digging deep between the sofa cushions or checking vending machine change slots, you know you’ve got it tough.

The full display

If you’re putting ads on your car, it might be classed as a commercial vehicle. If you don’t notify your insurance company, you might get in trouble!

You should also consider the type of ads you’re willing to place on your back end and sides. If you give up your vehicle to an agency, chances are you won’t have much say in what gets posted there.

Be sure to check your local authority regulations for carrying advertising too.

The end of the relationship

They become a part of us, like a trusted friend. If you’re desperate for a wallet top-up though, you might have to sell your car fast. The sell my car service you can find online will give you an immediate price for your vehicle. If you want to sell it for that price, you simply take it along to the center and fill out the paperwork.

The Uber Lyft

Of course, there will be expectations about the condition of your vehicle and your own personal charm. It’s pretty difficult to see how much you might be able to earn. You might not be keen just to try it out with no guarantees. However, if you love driving, and don’t mind complete strangers sitting in the back of your car, then why not give it a go? How might you make money from your car?
