Would you put advertising on your car in return for money?

[.blue]

I came across a company that offers this and wondering how many people find the idea appealing.

Apparently you get paid different amounts - e.g. less for a small rectangle ad on bonnet and doors and more for a full wrap.

So, if putting ads on your car got you an extra £100 a month, would you do it?

A lot of us already do this by having the dealer's sticker in the rear window, tax disc holder and number plates. Unfortunately we don't get paid for it.

Yes, I couldn't give a st what my car looks like, it's hardly my pride and joy.

I would not do it unless it was a more substantial sum

Indeed that is correct Clive, if i buy a car 2nd hand with that on I remove it all but you do not address his question

How effective would the advert be? An advert for an expensive watch maker on a budget brand car wouldn't work but on La Ferrari it probably would. Taxi's advertise all sort of things and make a little extra income but it's effects on product sales are negligible

Who cares?! You are getting paid regardless.

They do have limits - i.e. depends where you live, minimum amount of miles driven etc.

I'm wondering why more people don't do it.

They dont need the money
They dont want to do it
They dont know about it

It should be off before you buy it. Make it condition of sale if it is a dealer.
Most annoying one is the number plates with Arnold clark on them.

Most annoying is the rear wheel cover on a lot of 4X4 vehicles. A number plate I can live with, that I couldn't.

This sort of st is a prime example. The car would not be coming home with me unless I had a replacement.

Damn right I would, we need some new race tyres

Your choices are
1. No cover
2. A cheap or free advertising one
3. Paying for another one
Many go for option 2 but of you don't like it, take it off or buy a better one.

On our shopping trolley Fiesta, why not - as long as it doesn't get a Tampax wrap....

[CanAm]

A similar thing was tried in the late 70s - and one of the ads was Durex.

Option 4: Can of spray paint. Mask the words "Sell ste Cars"

On the Arnold Clark Numberplates: Dymo sticker with the words, "Robbed me blind"

Yep why not. Link?

[hedgefinder]

woerth mentioning that advertising on your vehicle inthe manner stated would likely result in higher insurance premiums under the hire and reward terms of your policy.

[Skyedriver]

THere's always a catch.
But as long as the payment was greater than the extra insurance, show me the web site.

Link please?

At 45k miles I should be able to make a bit of pocket money!

[SEE YA]

Yes I would anyone want to make a offer for my LeMans trip.
