Easy Ways to Make Some Bucks from Your Car

There is no reason for you to have an idle car lying around in your garage. A decent, reliable vehicle is a valuable asset that you can turn into a side hustle. In this article, we will tell you some easy ways to make some extra bucks from your car.

Try out app-based delivery

Use your car to deliver food and other items right to the client’s doorstep. An advantage of using delivery services is that you can create your schedule, and you can work at your convenience. Uber eats, Tapingo and DoorDash are a few examples of delivery applications you can sign up for.  

Try out ridesharing

Other than deliveries, applications such as Uber and Lyft allow you to make money by driving people around to their destinations. You can be paid by the hour and for every mile you drive. 

Rent your car

Another way to make extra cash with your car is to rent it out when you are not using it. On days when you are working remotely or staying indoors for the weekend, you can use car hiring services such as Turo and Getaround. You can also rent your car out to rideshare drivers and get paid depending on your vehicle’s availability. 

Help people move

There are plenty of people who do not have vehicles and need help moving. All you need to be a moving help is a van or a hatchback car, a pair of helping hands, and a few applications such as GoShare and Dolly. Specify what services you have to offer and set your price range.

Earn cash via a cash removal service

Believe it or not, you can make money by disposing of damaged cars and unwanted scrap metal or car parts. Not only is car removal environmentally friendly, but it can also be an excellent way for you to earn cash for cars. Find the right car removal service and get a cash settlement for your vehicle no matter the model and condition that it is in!

Advertise on your car

Connect with potential advertisers using applications such as Wrapify and have your car wrapped with their company logo. Advertisers will pay you depending on how much of your vehicle is covered. This wrap is easy to remove and does not damage your car. 

Be a safe driver!

As shocking as it may sound, some companies such as Allstatewill pay you if you do not get involved in an accident every six months. All you need to do is drive safely! Other insurance companies will offer you discounts based on how good you drive. 

Childcare jobs

Childcare jobs are incredibly lucrative if you are based in a location with many schools and colleges. Guardians will require you to drop and pick up school-going children from school, boot camp, or daycare. Keep in mind that you need to have experience in childcare and go through a background check. If you tick the boxes, you can earn some cash!

Try Amazon flex

Amazon occasionally hires drivers who use their cars as couriers. Customers prefer Amazon flex as it is faster than using the post office. You will be required to pick up packages from the Amazon warehouse and follow directions to deliver to their destinations. 

Final Thoughts

Bear in mind that using your car to make extra money will increase the cost of maintenance and repair due to wear and tear. You also have to ask yourself whether your input and effort are worth your net income.
