    In the case of the redbull minis/beetles - you actually have to work (of sorts) for Redbull to get the use of one.

    When I was at uni, my flatmate was a 'student brand manager' for Redbull. It was a pretty good gig as they paid her a token yearly amount (about 200quid) + expenses, gave her as much redbull as she could drink/shift and gave her the use of the mini. In return she had to do all sorts of promotional events/stunts which basically culminated in her and her team handing out free cans to students on campus.

    You do have to be a uni student to do it, and the vacancies for your area/campus are advertised sept/oct time around the university/in uni press etc.

    Can't speak for any other company, but presume it's all a similar thing. No such thing as a free car. You will have to spend x number of hours stood in the cold handing leaflets and bits out to get one!

    The companys staff normally get a car PLASTERED with the companys logo/ and name ,

    but i SERIOUSLY doubt they will give free cars to anyone and everyone who says they would drive round in it!
    James thinks worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere

    If i help you...Please thank me! :beer:

    you can get a free car of sorts however you need to buy the car and there is a company called body wraps or something like that which do your car or taxi and pay up to about £300-400 a month ONLY if you car is in demand
