Free Car

msconsumer

Has anyone heard of "drivefreecar.co.uk" the idea is that you receive a new car to drive. The catch is that you pay for the insurance and petrol, and the car has a company adver stuck on the car.

I just looked at the site and you have to pay to join and get 'tips' as to how to get involved so I would guess its a bit suspect.. I dont trust anything that asks for money up front

mightyroyals

Seems like all they do is tell you where the place that does it in your area is and they charge you a fee just for the privilage sounds a bit like the yes loans of the car world lol

I can't imagine many companies would give you a free car to advertise their products.
These 'Black Cabs' that you see now driving around with company names on only receive a few hundred pounds a year plus a respray at the end of the contract.

Honestly if it sounds too good to be true it often is.

We have a friend who tests BMW motorbikes. She gets a brand new one every 6 months and all she has to pay is petrol. It is through BMW though, don't know any other details.

Jane she's probably a very, very experienced rider and/or has unusually clear communications skills. Perhaps she's ex emergency services or she's from a journalism background. Everyone who rides would like to be that tester, BMW can afford to be incredibly selective about who they ask for feedback.

Hmm... That looks very dodgy to me. I suspect that the scam is to get 100's of people to pay membership fees and then only a few (if anyone at all) ends up with a car. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

I've reported the site to Nominet as it's registered as being a non-commercial website (and hence has concealed the trader's address).

This is of the same ilk as "How to beat a clamper", "How to avoid a parking ticket", "How to get get of a parking ticket". You'll get a PDF packed full of crap information you can google for free.
