Default Get Paid to Drive Programs

Is it true you can get paid to drive a car or get a free car with ads to drive around? I researched a little but all are paid memberships of about $30 per year

I've seen a few of those car ads around. I had no idea they were paid memberships! It seems the advertiser should be paying you to drive their ad around. I'd definitely stay away from any that would cost you money.

There was a time that you could actually get paid, but that time has long passed (it disappeared when the tech bubble happened in 2001: Paid To Drive - Auto Wrap - The truth on how to get a free car or auto wrap.

I'm not aware of any legitimate program that is accepting new people and you should never pay as it is a complete waste of money.

I think this was a fad when the economy was booming and companies had more advertising dollars then they knew what to do with. I've searched around for legit programs and all I can find is so-called "directories" that promise to hook you up with dozens of car wrap advertising programs.

Those programs are hard to get into, and you have to have an extremely clean driving record. The competition to get into the program is also flooded
