How to make money with your car?

Discover how your car will allow you to earn money
Between depreciation, repairs and the price of fuel, a car can sometimes become a real financial burden. Fortunately, it is possible to compensate a part or completely, these losses thanks to the following methods with which you can take advantage of your car.

31. Share your trips with more people. And don’t travel alone!

Very popular on the Internet, sharing trips is an activity that thousands of people make every week. Some are not alone in their cars, others to meet new people, and others also to make a little extra money.

The idea is simple. Instead of traveling alone on a regular ride, why not do it with other people? This in exchange for a few euros that will return the costs of fuel or toll, or perhaps to pay a few rods over the weekend.

For example, the journey from Ida Madrid-Valencia, you can find from 15 euros in BlaBlaCar, the trip is a little longer than by train, but obviously it is cheaper, especially if you have not planned to travel sufficiently in advance.

Besides, who knows, maybe you could find your soul mate?

And for Latin America, will you ask…? Here are several solutions:

• BlaBlaCar is also available in Mexico.
• For Argentina, you can use the “Poole” or “Cotour”.
• In Colombia is used I go with quota.
• In Peru I found Pusakuy.
• In Uruguay, you can use I’m going to finger.

32. Don’t you use your car? Rent to other individuals.

Here, not only do we talk about sharing a place in your car, but putting the whole car at the disposal of other people.

In Spain, Drivy and also Amovens (where you can also share trips), you propose to rent your car to private individuals, in exchange for an amount of money. If you don’t use your car very often, it’s a good way to earn a few euros and even a few hundred euros, instead of leaving it parked in the garage. Everything is designed so that the exchange is in the best possible conditions and the insurance contracts are obviously included in the payment.

This practice is becoming more and more common and allows people who need a car to be able to get more interesting prices than if they go to a rental company like Europcar or Hertz. For example, you can rent a Peugeot 307 to €3 an hour or for €23 per day, in Amovens.

Tripndrive is aimed at travelers who want to share a car. Are you going on a trip? You leave your car in an airport parking or a station (free!), and Tripndrive is in charge of paying the parking and renting your car to other individuals.

In Latin America, this practice is less developed. I only found the Tomatucar website for Mexico. But if you know another, or for another country, do not hesitate to share it in the comments.

33. Put a nice publicity on your car

If of course, advertising is not only on the Internet or in mailboxes. You can also advertise, in your own clear way, by turning your car into an advertising medium. You can put a publicity on the back moon, the driver’s door, the bonnet, etc.

There are several advertising agencies looking for cars for their campaigns. If you want to know more, you can read this article where I talk about advertising in the car and find out what are the agencies in Spain.
