Drive New Cars For Free!
~Take a look at the picture illustrating this entry. You’ve almost certainly seen vehicles like this driving around your city streets, and probably thought they were cars owned by the company whose product was being advertised. They may well have been – but increasingly, advertisers are using vehicles supplied by other companies to promote their products without the extra cost of having to invest in their own fleet of new vehicles.
Yesterday, I wrote about a scheme to help you subsidise your fuel costs. Today I’ve got a similar scheme that potentially gives you a new car to drive. For free! The people at Lease Guide dot Com seem to have looked into this and have vouched for it on their website.
Are there companies who will actually provide a free car or pay you to drive your own car?
The answer is, Yes! Companies DO exist, that pay you to drive company supplied vehicles, and they DO provide free cars. Of course, the car remains the property of the company supplying it, but you get to keep it for the length of the contract you have with them.
Here’s How it Works
Basically, you agree to drive a car that displays advertising for a company's product or service. Since you do the advertising and driving, you get a free car to drive or – and I wrote about this yesterday – you get paid to drive your own car. In some cases, you may get a free car AND get paid to drive too.
What’s The Catch?
- You have to be at least 18 years old; have a drivers license (doh!); and have an excellent driving record
- You will almost certainly have to pay for insurance and maintenance, especially if you drive your own car
- You will have to have a clean criminal record, or at the very least one with only minor offences
- You will need to be highly visible, because
How much you get paid, and whether you get a free car, depends on three main factors:
- The number of miles you drive each month;
- Where you drive; and
- Where you park
In other words, if you have any chance of being chosen, it will be on the basis of how many people potentially get to see your vehicle in an average day. Ultimately, you have a better chance at receiving a free vehicle if you drive lots of miles, and drive in heavily populated and high traffic areas. It's not hard to work out whether or not you might qualify for one of these cars-for-free programs. Look at the scheme from the advertisers point of view – after all, they want their ads to be seen by as many people as possible in a specific area.
Therefore:
- If you are a stay at home mother, who keeps her car locked away in a garage for 23 out of every 24 hours, don’t expect to get a job or a free car!
- If you live in an isolated rural area and use your SUV to drive quiet country roads, you shouldn’t expect the gig either
On the other hand, if you live in a major city and your car is visible 24 hours a day, you should have a better chance than most.
Where Do I Get the Information I Need?
The best way to find the companies that work best for you is to "subscribe" to an information directory that lists all such advertisers. These directories are compiled and provided by companies who specialize in this kind of service. There are a relatively small number of these companies, who can be found on the Internet, in newspaper ads, and in auto-related magazines.
There is typically a one-off charge for the directory subscription, and usually with a 90-day money-back guarantee. Since the directory is always changing and being updated, make sure you get a lifetime "membership" if possible, so that all future updates to the directory are free.
Make sure you are honest and provide accurate information in your application. These companies will almost certainly check your credentials, and get police checks on your bonafides, so don’t waste your time or theirs by applying for something you know you won’t get. Needless to say – but I’ll say it anyway – there is no guarantee that you will be accepted or that you will find a deal that you like, but if you don’t sign up, you will have no chance anyway.

The two companies listed below provide free-car and drive-for-pay program directories. The directories include programs in the U.S. and other countries all over the world. Subscribing with more than one company could be beneficial but, generally, it should be expected that one company's directory will be much like another's.
Free Car Index
- A comprehensive database of ad companies that pay people to drive cars with graphic ads on them — with immediate online directory access. The companies in the directory, collectively, have over 100,000 new vehicles decorated with advertisements that are ready to be driven. The directory applies to residents of the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, and Australia. This company has a 100% money-back satisfaction guarantee.

The Free Car
- This site offers a great "Car Finder" that allows you to see if there are advertisers in your area before you buy the service. There is an online application process to shorten the procedure. They also have a money-back guarantee and a nice free bonus product. This service is well worth your consideration if you are looking for a free car program.

Don’t forget, both these companies offer a 100% money back guarantee, so if you have no luck within 90 days, you can ask for your money back!
