I used to live just south of Charlotte, NC (SC has lower taxes).  I would commute to the north side of Charlotte for work driving about 30 miles one way.  It was at this point in time that I became fascinated with autowrapping.  You have probably seen cars that have advertising that completely covers the car.  Many of these vehicles are owned by the company that is being advertised, but some of them are just private citizens that are being paid to advertise with their vehicle.  My problem was that my cars have always been so old that no one wanted to advertise on them.  Now that I have a new enough car I don’t drive far enough to entice an advertiser (plus I live in the country so not enough possible customers either). 

Now I am sure some are curious as to why I would want to do this.  The reason is they pay you somewhere between $200-$400 per month.  That could pay off your car!!  It could cover the rising cost of gasoline.  I mean that is a significant chunk of change for letting someone advertise on your vehicle.  The contracts vary in length but I found two companies that still do this type of advertising.  They are AutoWrapped and Ad-Wraps.  There are some others but they want you to pay a membership fee so that seems like a scam.  If you live in a heavily populated are this might be a nice source of income for you.
