| Get paid to drive? Has anyone tried this?
I was looking into getting paid for putting stickers
on my car or even do a complete autowrap and get paid.
It sounded that some companies in US do this to few
people and was wondering if anybody gotten any success
with this? I currently applied to both www.autowraps.com
and www.freepaidcars.com
I will update you guys with any emails i get. Meanwhile
I would like to hear your past experience if you have any.

The FreePaidCars one seems too good to be true...and you know the saying with "too good to be true"
But if it was legit i'd totally do it.

i saw an ad on Oct 2nd craigslist about some guy wanting to pay for his ad on your car. I sent him an email and he only offered $50 a month. I mean i'm not saying that's a chump change but come on, people should get paid more than that right?

I would expect them to pay at least the lease rate on a econobox (i.e. $200-$300 a month).

If I didn't have my own business, I'd do it if it covered at least the insurance money.
As a business owner though, I definitely wouldn't pay just anyone to put my logo on their car. I don't want some retarded driver representing my company to people.

They were just replied emails for applying and it says if I get chosen, One of
the company's said
full autowrap rates are 1800/vehicle per month(3months)
1400/vehicle per month(6months)
1000/vehicle per month(9months)
and partial wrap rates are 600, 400, and 200.
Their requirements are 60kms a day and car needs to be insured all the time.
I had to submit my driving route and they would check at random location
along my route to see if I am following my route. Also, I would need to
participte an event to advertise and hand-out either pamphlets, samples,
and coupon depending on the company. I mean this sounds too good.
What do you guys think?

Sign me up! Sounds pretty good.
I find it strange though how the price decreases the LONGER you advertise for them.

For $1800, you can sign a long-term rental for way cheap and still profit.
Just a thought for all you entrepreneurs out there.

Update!: I got an email from a web hosting company in UK. They asked me to send few exterior photos of my car and also asked a tracking device to be installed to follow up on my driving route. They want 5 months of advertising w/ decent monthly wage. They are willing to set up a website for me and wanting me to work as an affiliate as well to get % of sale I make.
I mean everything sounds good for me except the tracking device part...
I guess there's no better way for them to see if I am doing my job other than the device... do I take this deal? or wait for other deal?
