Do you own a car? A truck? Want to earn some extra money?

With a little spare time, you could turn your personal vehicle into a revenue stream investment. Millions of people are in desperate need of a ride or need to haul some oversized load that doesn't fit in their current vehicle. Your vehicle plus their needs equal a wide variety of exciting ways to turn this classic supply-and-demand equation into cold, hard cash.

Here are five cool ways to put your vehicle (and yourself!) to work.

1. UBER

 

UBER

 

If you've ever wanted to drive a taxi, then you would have had to deal with the hassle of getting your hands on an actual taxi along with permits and tons of taxi regulations. That is until the Uber app came along.

Note: Uber is a sponsor of the Kim Komando Show and Komando.com.

Uber is a GPS-powered tech tool that connects passengers and drivers through their smartphones. A passenger simply downloads the Uber app, logs in, and enters a request for an Uber driver to pick them up.

A nearby driver is notified and directed to the passenger through the in-app GPS. The passenger gets in, driver delivers passenger to destination and the customer's account is automatically charged.

Uber claims that the average driver makes around $19 hourly. That claim doesn't account for any of the associated costs or fare-finding that comes with basically running your own business. But, Uber drivers have also shared helpful tricks that can help you earn more money. Click here for insider secrets.

The amount of money that you can make with Uber depends greatly on how many people around you are willing to pay for rides. If you live near a dense population center, then chances are pretty good that Uber users are requesting rides and are willing to shell out decent money to get to where they need to go.

Even if you don't have a car, Uber has a leasing program that can get you on the road.

 

 

2. TURO

Letting your car rust away in the garage when you're not driving it is like leaving your money unclaimed. If you don't drive very often or are taking an extended trip out of town, then you can rent your car out with Turo.

Turo lets you list your car on its online rental marketplace. You determine how much you charge for others to rent your car. If all goes well, you'll receive requests from potential renters. If they accept your terms, then simply hand over your keys.

If you're worried about potential damages, you shouldn't be. Turo insures every car up to $1 million, so you're covered if anything were to happen. Plus, before someone reserves your car as a rental you can correspond with them, and even meet them if they're local. You can rate renters in the app, so renters who cause problems will get weeded out of the system.

Head over to the Turo website and search for your city to find out how to price your vehicle.

 

3. LUGG

If you live in San Francisco, you can use Lugg when you need something big or bulky moved. While you'd normally have to rent a U-Haul truck to move furniture from point A to point B, Lugg sends a driver and truck directly to your door.

 

Working as a Lugg driver is similar to Uber. You can go "on duty" whenever you wish and wait to receive requests from potential customers on the fly. You can even earn money through Lugg without owning a truck or van. Just list yourself as a "driver's helper" to help load and unload big cargo. Prices range on average around $35.

After accepting a job, you're directed to the pickup location and the drop-off point. While Lugg is only available in San Francisco at the moment, the app will most likely make national moves into the hauling industry soon. Stay tuned.

4. JUNK HAULING

Until Lugg or some other competitor expands nationwide, you can still put your truck or van to work even if you don't live in the San Francisco area. Your truck was born to haul. Letting all that load-hauling capacity go to waste isn't just an automotive crime — it's a financial one, too.

Check out your local Craigslist listings for junk hauling. Head over to Craigslist, and type "junk haul" into the search bar. I checked out my local prices, and it seems like the price varies from $50-$150 for junk hauling services.

If you end up with scrap metal from a junk haul, then you might also want to get in contact with a local junkyard. Metal is worth something, and a successful junk hauling business could mean that you end up with a lot of it. Craigslist has plenty of people buying scrap metal, too.

All of the prices that you see are the dollars you could be earning right away if you started offering junk hauling services. Or step up and write out your own ad offering hauling services. On any given Saturday morning, there are bound to be folks needing to haul something big and willing to pay you fairly for your effort.

 

5. ADS ON YOUR CAR

If you don't mind being the ultra conspicuous head-turning, center of attention everywhere you go, then marketing companies might be willing to pay you for your daily commute and everywhere else you drive. You've probably already seen cars and trucks covered headlights-to-tailpipe in bold advertisements.

No, those cars aren't owned by overly-exuberant entrepreneurs. In fact, the driver is probably being paid monthly for those eye-catching designs. The ads are vinyl graphics that are wrapped on the vehicle and are peeled off when the advertising contract ends. Marketing agencies require that the ad-covered cars be fairly new and in great condition, drive a minimum number of miles daily or weekly and meet certain insurance requirements.

You may have heard about similar offers promising "free" cars in the past.

It turns out that this promise is true, sort of. The amount that you're paid to run a wrap-around ad comes out to enough to pay for car insurance and the average monthly car payment.

Car owners may earn around $300 or $400 per month on average, and even more for specialty "high profile" vehicles driving in certain communities.

When this industry first started out, many of the cars were owned by the advertiser and "loaned" to drivers for free. Now the business has mostly changed to a model where car owners offer up their autos to be wrapped for a monthly fee. One thing to avoid, though, is any site that tries to charge a fee for information on finding a "free" car.

As with any job, no company will ever charge you for the opportunity to work for them.

One place where you might want to start your search is Free Car Media. It's a site that connects advertisers with the cars that serve as mobile billboards. The site pays between $50+ per month for rear window ads and up to $400 per month for full car wrapping.

There you have it. Five cool ways to make money with your car. If you still haven't found the job that you're looking for, then you might want to check out these three legitimate work-at-home jobs that pay big.
