Are there any members of this forum or pass by anon users that have actually ever done a Paid to Drive project?

If you have then can you please let us all know if this is really a great thing? There is alot of 'yak' about this type of advertising but I have really never met anyone that actually gets paid to drive...

Drop a post here and inform us.

I would like to know also...

I knew a guy through a friend that qualified for the paid to drive.

He always went around to car shows and had a souped up car (that plymouth mini-van thingy). I don't like those, but if it were free to drive around; then I might.

I never really talked to that guy, and back then I knew nothing about paid to drive being real. I figured the guy was just blowing smoke.

I was asking around some local biz places about a paid to drive, walk or whatever. I found to my surprise that there are alot of places that would actually give me free things or pay me to advertise for them.. Wear there t-shirts or hats or put logos on my car or whatever..

I suggest if you are interested in this kinda stuff go talk to your local biz and see what they say.. Maybe you can pick up an extra $100 for putting a bumpersticker on your car!!

I'm surprised that none of our members have done anything with paid to drive yet.

This is surprising because many of our members are in the US (where most of these opportunities exist), and it should be interesting and worthwhile to get involved.

Anyone? anyone? bueller? bueller? heheh (loved that movie)

They want you to pay them a fee first

Yeah, those are the scams.

There are some out there that are free -as they should be.

cool, legend! how did you manage that?

<sigh> the worst thing is, if i had a car nice enough that people would pay me to put stickers on it, i probably wouldn't want stickers on it.

[briankemp1]

Why don't you just auction off your car as a billboard on ebay. I'm sure Golden Palace would pay... LOL Wasn't the last billboard they bought a forehead?? Or, I'm sorry, was it a Pregnant belly?

I got an invitation to be a driver for an advertising firm. It took me three years waiting for it though. I'm waiting to see how long it takes to actually have the car delivered! :angry:

Nice! Keep us posted.

I can't believe that I missed this thread!!!

This is a subject that I actually know something about.

There are two definate sites that I know actually pay ppl to have their cars wrapped. The downside is that there is also a painfully long waiting list to get into their sponsorship program. I won't post any links without permission from the admins.

One of my neighbors is actually doing this. A Mercedes dealership(hint, hint?) is paying him upwards of $1500 per month to drive a vehicle that is ad wrapped. In order to qualify, he had to have a "perfect" driving record, have full coverage insurance, and the time to be able to travel to places that the dealership wanted him to go.

For one of the sites that I did not mention, I have been on the waiting list for almost two years. This is after having qualified by the requirements. :censor: As I find out more, then I will be more than happy to let everyone know. B)
