Sometimes, a full-time job isn’t enough to pay the monthly bills. Many people have an extra gig to help make ends meet. If you’re looking for a side hustle and own a car, check out these gigs that pay well and let you work on your own schedule.
Rideshare Driver
The most common way that people put their car to work is by joining Uber or Lyft as a rideshare driver. All you need to become a driver is a clean driving record and a vehicle with four doors that isn’t older than a 2009 model.
Rideshare drivers earn solid wages and tips, but perhaps the best benefit is getting to choose their work schedule. There’s no commitment to most rideshare companies regarding how many hours a driver must work, so you can clock in and out whenever you please, which is ideal for side hustles.
Delivery Driver
Instead of picking up and dropping off people, you can be a delivery driver and drop off food instead. There are more delivery services and apps than ever before, so finding one that fits what you’re looking for shouldn’t be too hard, no matter where you live.
There’s no shortage of gig options, and some of the best delivery apps to work for include DoorDash, Postmates, and Uber Eats. Drivers love these delivery companies because they can choose their schedule and work whenever they have free time here and there.
Don’t want your car to smell like food? Postmates, Instacart, and Shipt let you deliver groceries, goods, and packages instead.
Wrap Vehicle in Advertising
Do you take a long commute every day? You can get paid to do nothing except drive by getting your vehicle wrapped in advertising, like a moving billboard.
Wrapify and Carvertise connect drivers with companies looking to advertise in the area you live. All these companies typically require is that you drive at least 30 miles a day and have a clean record. You can earn up to $200 a month and even more for special events and locations.
Help Others Move
No one enjoys moving, and one of the biggest problems we have is finding enough people and cars to transport everything from point A to point B. If you have a spacious vehicle or don’t mind helping others, you can get paid to help others move.
TaskRabbit is an app where people can post simple jobs or “tasks.” One of the most common tasks is help with moving. You can set your rates and earn some money whenever you’ve got some free time and see someone who needs help.
