I spend many hours of my life driving for no reason. If I'm sitting at home and I'm bored, I'll go for a long drive to pass the timem but it's an expensive hobby! I don't really have a big car (Polo 9N), and can't fit anything in the boot so I don't think I would be able to do deliveries (unless it's small packages). Any ideas on what I could do to make a bit of money while doing something I enjoy?!

Companys like Next use people to drop parcels off. The woman local to me has no uniform or anything, just goes around with her kid getting the kid to put parcels at peoples doors.

But thats different to going for a jolly old drive, it'd be stop start routes etc.

Just enjoy the drive!

Wouldn't be able to stop myself from nibbling on it!

Anything that doesn't involve food would be better.

Has anyone used those late night cigarette/alcohol delivery services?

Up until recently on Guernsey they did delivery legal highs.

Which I think could make rather a lot of money if done properly.

Dont forget you'd need to add 'Business' use to your insurance policy.

Late night alcohol delivery in a student area could work well. It seems to do OK in Nottingham with cheap advertising on posters and cards in the Union and local shops. Might be worth trying to do some advertising and setting up on your own, but I'd guess it'd be minimal profit unless you could buy in bulk and bang a decent percentage on the price.

Oooo yeah. Dr Booze did a roaring trade at my uni. Would think you will need to live in a city with a big uni to get enough business to make any money. Might struggle to get it all in a Polo though - our guy had a van.

1. Licence to drive.
2. Licence to kill.

Are there any others?
