Your car's already on the road.
Now it pays you back.
You drive to work, run errands, drop off the kids. Miles you’re racking up anyway. With car advertising, a company pays you a fixed monthly amount for them, with no changes to your routine.
Three things every driver hates. And one simple fix.
The costs never stop
You fill up for £75. Two weeks later, again. Then insurance, repairs, MOT, tires. At month's end you wonder where the money went. A big chunk is tied up in your car. What if your car started earning some of it back?
Hundreds of hours behind the wheel. Earned: £0. Paid: fuel, wear, nerves.
Commuting, chauffeuring kids, Saturday grocery runs. You sit in traffic, hunt for parking, lose time. And none of it shows up in your bank account. With car advertising, every one of those trips gets paid. Even the one to the supermarket.
Your car drives the way it always has
One panel carries an ad, a company pays a fixed amount a month for it. Nothing about your day changes.

Who is Ads on Cars right for ...
... and who isn't it for
A great fit for ...
... people who drive regularly
You commute to work, do field visits, or clock at least 5,000 km a year.
... drivers looking for financial relief
You're tired of pouring money into fuel, insurance, and repairs. You want your car to finally earn its keep.
... pragmatists who don't sweat the small stuff
Your car is a tool, not a status symbol. You're fine with tasteful advertising on your vehicle, as long as it pays.
... people who like keeping things simple
You're not looking to build a complicated side hustle. You want a hassle-free way to monetize your daily routine.
Not the right fit for ...
... people with unrealistic expectations
You think car advertising will make you rich overnight or let you quit your job. It won't. It's a solid side income, not a jackpot.
... car lovers who are emotionally attached
Your car is your baby. You polish it every weekend and every scratch feels personal. Best to keep it ad-free.
... perfectionists and control freaks
You want a say in every detail of the ad, from the artwork to the colour. You agonize over every decision for weeks. This will only stress you out.
... low-mileage drivers
You mostly drive to the corner shop or take weekend countryside trips. Under 5,000 km a year, car advertising just won't pay off.

Frequently Asked Questions
A platform for drivers who want to earn something on the side with advertising on their car. We bring together two sides who have had a hard time finding each other: drivers with unused space, and businesses who want to advertise locally, from gyms and tradespeople to insurers and retailers. So the advert on your car is never ours; it always belongs to an advertiser.
Yes. Registration, your vehicle profile and access to the platform cost nothing. On the free plan you see one released campaign and can apply to it. With Pro you see every campaign, can apply to all of them, and can upload photos of your car.
A fixed yearly amount, shown on the pricing page, or once, as Lifetime, with no renewal. Nothing else is added.
It depends on the campaign, your region and how much you drive. Drivers typically earn between £45 and £350 a month. The exact amount is shown on each campaign before you apply. What each surface pays is on the earnings page.
By us, monthly, for campaigns created with a cost overview, which is every new campaign. The advertiser pays Ads on Cars and we pay you: for each month the advert was on your car and your monthly proof is in, by the 15th of the following month to the account you registered. We keep nothing of your payment; the 15 % service fee is on top and paid by the advertiser. If their payment fails, we pause the campaign and tell you; what you earned until then remains owed to you (§ 9 of the terms). For older campaigns without a cost overview the advertiser pays you directly; that is stated on the campaign.
No. Only professional, residue-free high-performance films are used. Your original paint stays untouched.
No app, no tracking. After the wrap you upload four photos once: front, back, left, right. Then once a month a photo of the odometer with the reading and one of the car in everyday use. The advertiser may request one specific side per month, which you photograph within 48 hours. Two monthly readings give your mileage, which is how the campaign's minimum mileage is checked; nobody learns where you drove. What applies in case of a deviation is set out in the campaign agreement.
The advertising agreement, meaning surface, artwork and term, is concluded between you and the advertiser once they accept your application. Everything practical runs through us: we produce the film, organise fitting and removal, bill the advertiser and pay you monthly. What applies if the film is damaged, if you leave early or if the advertiser does not pay is set out in § 9 of the terms, not in a contract you have to go looking for.
If you've made it this far ...
... then you already know car advertising is a way to get a fixed monthly amount with your car. Now it’s decision time. You have exactly two options.
You close this page. Tomorrow morning you're back at the pump, shaking your head at fuel prices, thinking: 'I should really do something about this.'
You create your free profile in the next 2 minutes. You see which campaigns in your area are open right now. You decide whether it’s worth it for you. No obligation. Signing up and looking cost nothing.
Ready to let your car earn its keep?
With Ads on Cars you will …
Turn drive time into income: You are covering those miles anyway: to work, to the shops, to training. From now on someone pays for them.
Let your car carry its own costs: Fuel, insurance, servicing: instead of only costing you money, your car earns part of it back itself.
Decide for yourself who advertises on your car: You see every campaign first and apply only to the ones that suit you. Nothing happens without your say-so.
