Make Money With Your Car: Earn an extra $3000 a month or more!

The average car owner spends more than $5000 a year on their vehicle. Why not make that money work for you?  There are many ways to earn an extra $3000 or more per month with your car, including rideshare driving, using it as a taxi, renting out seats in your vehicle (Uber), delivering goods (Flexport), and getting paid to drive someone else’s car.

The best part about earning these additional funds is that they can be made while still keeping up with all of your regular obligations!  Check out this blog post to learn how you can start making money with your car today!

Car Sharing

If you have a car and use it to commute to work, run errands or go out on the weekends, chances are you can make some extra money by sharing your car as a rental.

Peer-to-peer car sharing is a service that enables you to list your car for rent and make money while still keeping your vehicle available for use. You can set the fee and availability calendar yourself, accepting bookings at any time and from anywhere in the world.

Once you’ve listed your car online, it’s quickly verified by Peer to Peer Car Sharing and featured on their website. All you have to do is answer messages from your renters, coordinate the pick-up and drop-off location, and even meet with them if necessary (to establish paperwork).

Turo is a peer-to-peer car-sharing service that allows users to rent out their personal cars. The company is based in San Francisco and has been operating since 2009.  Drivers set the rates for their vehicles, with Turo taking 25 percent from each transaction.

Rideshare

Ridesharing is a form of carpooling where people share a ride in someone’s personal car to and from work or other events.  The company Lyft has been operating since 2012 and serves cities across the U.S., including New York City, Chicago, and Seattle.

You can also make money through an Uber driver referral program.

Rideshare services are most likely to be used by people who live in highly populated areas – where there are many options for daily transportation.

Uber: Uber is an on-demand service. You can get a ride from any driver who’s connected to the app and available nearby.

Lyft: Rideshare companies like Lyft also connect people in need of transportation services with drivers, but they may be more likely used by city inhabitants who do not own cars and need reliable access to a vehicle.
