Get Paid to Drive

Skip to the "Paid to Drive" Getting Started Section

The idea where you "get paid to drive" isn't really all that new, but more and more people are finding out about getting paid to drive as companies are more heavily promoting how easy it is to get paid just for driving around town with an advertisement on your car.

And, the catch?

It's for real. We know two different people who have successfully done this. But, the catch is that not everyone is accepted in to a program.

There are some places that say they'll actually LOAN you a car to use. We haven't tried for this ourselves and do not know what the requirements are, but we have heard of others doing it. One of the two persons we know actually got a PT Cruiser to cruise around town in.

Because he had several sponsors: Plymouth and Alpine; he actually got to enter numerous sound competitions and had an incredible, ear-popping sound system!

So, the deal is that there are several new companies now taking the time to find, test, and weed through all these paid to drive companies. The result is that they offer their paid to drive database to you in exchange for just your email, a one-time fee, or a monthly fee. Learn how to get paid to drive ...keep reading!

• The biggest thing to remember is that qualifying for these programs is tough. The criteria is very limiting and there is still some bit of luck involved even if you are a fit
  
  
• Some of the things these companies look for are:
  
  
  • Hang out at popular spots or are member in car clubs
    (the more advertising for them; the better)
    
    
  • Drive more than 800 miles per month along high traffic routes
    Most companies will negate your contract if you do not maintain a specified amount of mileage per month.
    
    They use the odometer and GPS to track mileage and to verify the locations you frequent. If you break the agreement, then you'll lose your privileges.
    
    
• You are no more likely to get a position by signing up with any "paid to drive" service. However, you will have easy access to the companies that offer "car wrapping", if you join a paid surveys database. Plus, you'll get access to mystery shopping leads and paid surveys on top of it. So, it's like an all-in-one bonus.
  
  
• Here are some key points to remember:
  
  
  • First off... You might choose to pay for "Paid to Drive database", but NEVER PAY to be in a Paid to Drive program or to be on their waiting list! Also, do not bother paying for "preferred status" as that is 99.999% likely to be a scam.
    
    
  • Visit each Paid to Drive Database Services site and read about how they work
    
    
  • Most services offer a 90-day money back guarantee. This is good because it sometimes takes up to 60-90 days to find out if you're going to be accepted in to any good paid to drive programs or not. Both of our recommended companies offer a full, 90-day guarantee as well. ;)
    
    
  • Consider the Get Paid to Drive companies that have higher-quality websites and only charge a low, one-time fee.
    
    Our favorites --which we use-- are: SurveyScout :: Survey-Platinum
    
    **To Access Surveyscout's paid to shop, eat, and drive database,
    login, scroll down, and click on the 'Bonus' link
    
    Both companies have a comprehensive database, easy-to-use interface, and a good tutorial for getting started quickly. Both also offer special bonuses, paid surveys lists, and excellent support! [Important Note about Bonuses]

LEGEND

Fresh Leads - does the service update their database with new leads? This is good for when you've completed signing up for all current surveys

Easy-to-use - do they have an intuitive and understandable layout?

Unique Leads - do they have new and unique leads or do they just have the same old surveys listed on other sites? This is important because many services recommend "trash" surveys. SurveyScout and PaidSurveys BOTH have many different, quality leads which makes it worthwhile to join both programs --for the serious "survey guru" ;)

Quality - do they recommend only the highest quality survey companies? Or, do they just recommend all the companies they can find, the companies that pay the biggest referral (will probably SPAM you), etc...

Recommend - we have signed up for half a dozen services and we recommend SurveyScout and PaidSurveys over the rest --by far!

• Once you've chosen a Paid to Drive service, you need to carefully read each actual Paid to Drive program you sign up for. Sometimes they will auto-fill a checkbox that allows them to sell your email. Be sure to uncheck it!

Our recommendation? Visit at least 1 or 2 paid to drive services and then determine the best one or two to go with. Be sure to bookmark our site so that you can easily come back and find other paid to drive companies to take a look at!

Good luck and have FUN getting Paid to Drive!!
