ads on your car

Options
I found this on money magpie and thought it would be interesting to here if anyone had tryed it.

Basicly its making money from your car by allowing a company to place vinyl advertisements onto your car and depending where you have them placed earning money for it.

This depends on how much of your vehicle actually gets wrapped.
There are three basic options:
  • Max-wrap: your whole vehicle is covered except the windscreen.
    Special transparent vinyl is used on the other windows so all-round visibility remains the same as normal.
    This will earn you up to £220 per calendar month.
  • Classic-wrap: doors, side-panels, bonnet and rear of the vehicle are covered, earning you up to £185 per calendar month.
  • Superside Plus: coverage of door panels and part wings along with a visual on bonnet and/or rear, earning you up to £150 per calendar month

I have looked on a site myself (comm-motion.com) which offers it and find it interesting as it would actually help me own a car and pay for it due to only working part time. Earning £400-£500 a month and only having around £150 spare it would be a real boost possible pay for petrol or my insurance doing this.
The only problems i have found are a few requirements.

What are the minimum requirements to register with comm-motion?

To register with comm-motion you need to:
  • be at least 18 years old and hold a valid full UK driver's licence
  • have minimum liability insurance, a current MOT and road tax for your vehicle
  • have no convictions for drink driving, manslaughter or causing death by dangerous driving
  • agree to the terms and conditions detailed at the commencement of the registration.

Anyone actually tryed this or heard and new about it?

    I did it when i was a taxi driver. Private agreement with a garage I used to frequent.

    Paid about £70 for a bonnet 'n boot vinyl.

    The garage would provide free services and tyres which was a considerable benefit considering the job.

    As long as your vehicle is insured for reward then go for it.

    This has been covered on here before but for the life of me I can't find a previous thread.

    I haven't heard of anyone who's heard back from them yet though - me included.
