You probably already know that it is possible to earn extra money by registering as a Bolt driver or working as a grocery or other delivery driver. But on top of that, there are many ways to earn extra money with your car.
Corporate car service
You can still offer on-demand transport services without having to take Bolt or Uber. Start offering your services and working with corporate clients who need transport to events or a pick-up service.
Airport shuttle services
You could also specialise in transporting people to and from the airport. For this you may need a larger vehicle to accommodate luggage and large groups.
Car rental service
If you don’t want to drive your own vehicle to earn money, use an app like Carguru to rent it out to others. They pay a small fee and then return the vehicle when it is no longer needed.
Medical transport services
Seniors and people with medical problems that prevent them from driving often benefit from safe transport to and from medical appointments. Specialise in this area, especially if you have a ramp or a readily accessible vehicle.
Child transfer service
For those with childcare experience, you can use your own vehicle to offer pick-up and drop-off services for busy parents who cannot take their children to school or various after-school activities.
Equipment transport service
If you can physically pick up and move heavy equipment, you can offer this as a specialised service for customers or companies that need to deliver goods from one place to another. Your customers could be dealers with large power tools or companies planning to shoot videos with professional equipment.
Mobile advertising service
Advertise other businesses using your vehicle. Simply equip your vehicle with advertising space and rent it out to different businesses in your area.
Mobile Improvement Service
With just your vehicle and some specialised equipment, you can offer your customers a car wash and upgrade. Offer to drive to their location to perform your service.
Mobile mechanic service
You can also store some basic car repair equipment in your vehicle and drive to customer locations to carry out basic repairs or maintenance services.
Order service
As a general business service provider, you can carry out various tasks, such as picking up groceries or dry cleaning. There are apps like TaskRabbit that can help you connect with potential customers, or you can create your own and promote it in your region.
Mobile dog grooming service
If you want to work with animals, you can add a small bath and some basic grooming supplies to your vehicle. Then go to people’s homes and provide the service directly at their door. This may require a slightly larger vehicle and some modifications.
Mobile pet transport
Another option for animal lovers is to provide a service for pet buyers, where you pick up their dog or cat from a shelter or breeder and take it to its new owner. These premises are often located far from the buyers, so some people may pay a significant amount to avoid travelling.
Mobile laundry service
If you have access to a launderette or dry cleaner, you can offer a service where you take people’s laundry from home, wash or dry clean it and then return it.
Recycling service
For an eco-friendly business idea, go to people’s homes to pick up recyclable goods such as cardboard, plastics or even electronics. You can then sort it and take it to the facilities that take each specific item.
Courier service
Couriers transport parcels to different destinations. Start your own service and then work with business customers across your region who don’t want to do delivery themselves.
Props rental service
If you live in an area with a lot of film and TV action, you can rent your own car to use as a prop in films or TV series. This can be especially important if you have a rare or interesting-looking car.
Holiday caravan rental service
If you own a caravan, you can rent it out to people who want to go on holiday. Even if it’s not a mobile home or you don’t want others to drive it, you may be able to rent accommodation on Airbnb or a similar platform.
Car towing service
If you have a large truck, you can offer towing services for those who are stranded or need help getting their vehicles home or to a repair shop.
Removal services
Another option for those with large vehicles is to offer a transport and removal service for people in your area who need help moving furniture and other belongings into their new space.
Used car sales
Do you have a car or two that you no longer want? You can always just sell them. In fact, if you are able to find great deals and know how to improve the machines a little, then you could make a business out of buying and selling machines.
