You’re right—the gig economy is thriving and many people are turning to their cars to earn extra dollars. Whether you want a full-time, part-time, or flexible job, here are several ways you can make money driving:
  • Signing on to be a rideshare driver for Uber or Lyft
  • Delivering food or consumer goods with Uber Eats, Grubhub, or DoorDash
  • Helping people haul furniture through classified ads on Facebook or Craigslist
  • Wrapping your car in decals that advertise a product
  • Becoming an Amazon Flex driver
  • Becoming a truck driver or tow truck driver
  • Renting your car on Turo when you aren’t using it
If you decide to go the Uber or Lyft route, just make sure to add
rideshare insurance
to your car insurance policy. It’s cheap and can cover you and your passengers while you’re in transit.
