What companies will pay for advertisements on my car?

Companies that pay you to put their advertising on your car, AKA "car skins"?

• Back in the Dot Com heyday, there seemed to be companies that would pay you to post THEIR advertising on YOUR car. I heard this called "car skins": They were vinyl overlays that would stick to your car, advertising the company or its products. There seemed to be both brokers that handled many companies, and individual companies that would contract with you directly. I'm looking for the top 10 (if there are that many) brokers and/or companies that provide this service, preferably for people and cars residing in the SF Bay Area. (A broker that only provides this service in, say, Pennsylvania, doesn't do me much good.) If there are companies that still do this, I believe I have a good location and good vehicle for this purpose: I live in San Jose, CA., and drive a spotless 2003 Gold PT Cruiser Turbo. Thanks, J.

  Hello J., Thank you for getting back to me. I?ll re-post the information here to make the answer complete. The websites listed below allow you to sign up as a potential driver for the type of service commonly referred to as ?car wrap? advertising. They enter your information into a database and attempt to match you up with advertisers. None of them are based in the Bay area, but they claim to provide service nationwide. Ad-wraps http://www.ad-wraps.com/driversinfo.htm On The Move Media http://www.onthemovemedia.com/driver_section.shtml.shtml Autowrapped http://www.autowrapped.com/Drivers.htm Driving Promotions http://www.drivingpromotions.com/driveapromo.htm WrapCars http://wrapcars.com/hiw.htm There was an error when I tried accessing the sign up page but the phone number works. AdvercarZing http://www.advercarzing.com/signup1.asp Autowraps (This is the one you signed up for already) http://autowraps.com/driver_about_us.shtml AutoMurals http://automurals.com/ This is a Canadian company, but they apparently sign-up international drivers. ================ AdsOnWheels http://www.adsonwheels.com/CAR_Qualifications.asp This is one that was not in the original list. They say that they are not currently signing up new drivers, but you might want to check again later. Good Luck!
