I became intrigued by those cars you see driving around that are covered from head to toe with a picture of Madonna, Britney Spears or a "Grindhouse" movie poster. Who are these people? And where can I get something like this? (Not Britney, more like the "Grindhouse" poster). So, I decide to do a little research.

I came to realize that these companies out there, somewhere, actually give these cars away, brand new to average Joe's for absolutely nothing. You pick from a choice of ads and cars and the company either approves or rejects you based on your driving record and location (understandable). They don't want a "Reckless Robbie" advertising "Law and Order: CSI" or driving around on a farm where seven people per year can see the car. Okay, so it makes sense then, advertisers actually save money in advertising if they pay you to drive around their ads or give you a car that will come in contact with a million people per year. Good concept.

So, now how do I find these companies? Well, it's kind of difficult to find them on your own. They don't advertise. They don't need to. People find them well enough. The best way is to search the Internet. You'll most likely find a site that will sell you a membership for a small price. Choosing the right "paid to drive" or "free car" company can be a bit of hassle, though. Problem is that there are a lot of companies some even claiming that they're all a hoax "except ours". Fact is this: They are all basically the same with the same companies websites listed on there or the same applications catering to all over the world. None can guarantee you'll get a car. So, then is it worth the $40 - $60 most sites charge for the lists? If you end up getting a car in the end, it is. Best advice I can give is to pick the cheapest one. Which one is that? From my research www.directfreecars.com offered lifetime membership at $14.95. One or two of the twenty or more links may be dead or the sites may have relocated but there seems to be more than enough sites to fill out many applications and be in the free car lottery.

So, if a free car or being paid to drive yours is what you're after then give one of the many sites a whirl and hopefully you can drive away with an ad car that fits your fancy from a site that fits your budget.
