FAQ: Making Money with your car
Do I need a new car to do these gigs?
Not necessarily! Many platforms accept cars that are up to 10–15 years old, as long as they’re in good working condition and pass a basic inspection. For ride-share services like Uber and Lyft, newer cars may be required
How much can I realistically earn each month?
It depends on how much time you put in. Some people earn $200–$500/month doing delivery a few hours a week, while others make $1,000+ by combining gigs like rideshare, food delivery, and car rentals.
Will this affect my car insurance?
Yes, in most cases. Many insurance policies don’t cover commercial use. Some platforms offer their own insurance while you’re actively working, but it’s wise to call your insurer and ask about ride-share or delivery endorsements.
What’s the best side hustle for someone who doesn’t want people in their car?
Food or grocery delivery (Uber Eats, Instacart), package delivery (Amazon Flex), and car advertising (Wrapify, Carvertise) are great options if you’d rather not have passengers.
Can I deduct car expenses on my taxes?
Yes! If you use your car for business purposes, you can usually deduct mileage, gas, maintenance, and even part of your phone bill. Keep good records or use an app like Stride or Everlance to track your expenses.
Are there any risks to renting out my car?
There can be. While platforms like Turo offer insurance coverage, it’s important to read the fine print and understand what’s covered (and what’s not). Some people use older or secondary vehicles for rentals to limit wear on their primary car.
