Just because you have a car doesn’t mean it has to be an occasional drain on your wallet. From insurance and car maintenance to gas and tag renewals, owning a car can be a convenient inconvenience. That said, there are things you can do to bring in money with your car rather than have your car become a drain on your finances. Put the following tips to good use.

Deliver Groceries

The next time you’re at the grocery store, you can do some shopping for someone else and make some money while you’re spending money. Several apps are available, and depending on which you choose, you can become either an in-store shopper or full-service shopper.

As an in-store shopper, you’ll shop, you got it, inside the store for items on grocery lists received on an app. One of the great things about being an in-store shopper is that you qualify no matter if you have a car or not.

On the other hand, full-service shoppers handle the in-store shopping along with delivering the groceries. You’ll be able to set your own schedule, and you can make things a bit easier on yourself by delivering groceries to people in your area when you plan on making a trip to the grocery store for yourself.

Drive for a Ridesharing Company

Of course, you can drive for a ridesharing company picking up passengers and dropping them off at their desired destinations. You can juggle the ridesharing companies you drive for if you’re looking to make as much money and meet as many new people as possible. Just make sure you have the right kind of car and aren’t prone to driving while distracted for this type of gig. Additionally, it also helps if you’re more sociable and outgoing, as being a person with such a personality can lead to better ratings and tips with certain passengers. That said, you may also have passengers who enjoy a ride with nothing but the sound of the radio or music in the car; it all depends.

Deliver Food

For a similar method of making money with your car, you can deliver food orders for hungry people. Unlike delivering groceries, you’ll instead pick up fully prepared meals at restaurants and deliver them. Even if you don’t have a car, you can still deliver orders while riding a bike or scooter, allowing you to get some exercise in while making a bit more money.

Drop Off Packages

Everyone loves getting something in the mail that isn’t junk mail or a bill. You can help deliver that joy by signing up to deliver packages. The way it works is you pick up packages and consult the app to see where they need to be delivered. After you deliver the package to its desired destination, scan the barcode and you’re ready to move on to your next delivery to repeat the process.

Drive an Ad on Wheels

If you don’t mind your car looking like a rolling billboard, you can wrap it in company advertising. Opting for the full car wrap offers more money, but you can also choose a small back window decal for less money.

Some of the above money-making options could suit your lifestyle and sensibilities. Explore your options to see if any are a good fit for you and your car.
