Get Paid To Drive - Legit or a Scam?

Advertising companies receive a call from a business that wants to promote a product or service. As these Ad companies don't have the time to do the marketing themselves, they call upon Paid2Drive providers to do the work for them. The Paid2Drive program then gets to work by matching drivers with suitable advertising. The Ads come in the form of "car wrap" advertising or simple magnetic decals placed on the sides of a car. This type of advertising goes on cars, SUVs or trucks and are often colorful ads made of paint-safe vinyl film. These Ads might promote a cell phone (like a newly released Iphone 4s), an arts exhibit, or a brand new movie. So the concept is actually quite simple.

The Ads that are placed on these cars are professionally designed and attractive. You will not be embarrassed to drive your car around. And of course the driver has a say on the type of Ad that gets placed on their pride and joy.

So what does the driver get out of this? Well, they get anywhere from $400 to $800 per month. The amount you get depends on things like the age of your vehicle, the number of miles you travel, and how much exposure your vehicle gets per day. Of course, the more grand the product you promote (a newly released movie for example), the more the company will be prepared to pay to have it promoted. So if your willing to drive around with some Ads on your car in return for a little profit then perhaps this is a great option for you.

The idea has been around for a while now, hitting the public arena when a house mom decided to expand the concept by linking drivers and businesses in her local community (check out the YouTube video below). In terms of comparisons, car advertising is similar to what a taxi company might place on their mini-billboards, or the decals placed on a racing car.

As the paid to drive concept grows in popularity, the company that administers the program (such as Paid2Drive.org) gets a large influx of driver's wanting to get their foot in the door. Many people have sought alternative ways of making extra money to pay their vehicle finance or their home mortgage, and have turned to programs such as this as a way to get that little extra cash. Some have turned to work-at-home opportunities, whilst others have found more tangible ways that will provide a set monthly income.

If your car gets some good exposure, for example if your drive in heavily populated areas, universities, or shopping centers then this would make you a great candidate for the program. If the paid to drive company is backlogged with applicants, one good way to work your way up the wait list is to do a little 'selling' (hint: say how awesome your car is, and how great a fit you would be). When you manage to get on the program, consider yourself the lucky one that is now getting paid for sitting in traffic! So this little idea has flourished into a lucrative enterprise that has expanded to many communities nationwide, within reach of everyday moms and dads, and a great way to earn some extra cash.
