If you own a car, you've probably heard the expression that a car loses it's value as soon as you drive off the lot. That's not a big deal if you plan to use your car to make money as an uber or taxi driver. But most of us aren't using our vehicles in that way. So we're basically just throwing money away as we drive when you consider the gas and other expenses associated with owning a car. But suppose you could change that and make some of that money back? Well that's exactly what we're going to cover today in this Carvertise Review.
What is Carvertise?
Mac Nagaswami launched Carvertise while he was still a student at the University of Delaware. The company was originally known as PenguinAds before changing their name to Carvertise in 2012. Carveritse is essentially an advertising company that pays drivers like you and I to place removable advertisements of major brands on your car. We just drive like we normally do and the brands get some exposure to other drivers. Did you know you could make money at home without having to drive? You can with Swagbucks.com & FusionCash.com.
What Does Carvertise Pay?
Assuming you qualify and are accepted as a driver, you can earn $100 per month. All you're responsible for is just driving your car as you normally would. Drivers are paid based on a campaign, which is basically when a company hires you to promote their brand on your car for a given time frame. The campaigns can run anywhere from 3 to 6 months. So you can earn anywhere from $300-$600 per campaign.
How Do You Qualify To Be A Carvertise Driver?
In order to become a driver, with carvetise, you need to have a “clean” driving record. Furthermore you're expected to drive at least 25 miles per day, and your car should be at least a 2005 model. If you don't meet these qualifications you can still earn money at home with companies such as Swagbucks.com & FusionCash.com.
How to do you join the company?
Well first and foremost It's totally free to join Carvertise. To become a driver with this company, you have to apply. The application process is simple and straightforward. You just need to visit carvetise.com and click, “become a driver.” The process has been simplified so that the company can know much more about you and your driving patterns.
Carvertise Complaints
Surprisingly when we looked for complaints about this company, we couldn't find any. In my years of researching companies, that is as a rare as finding a leprechaun riding a unicorn over the rainbow. But apparently Carvertise is one of the few companies that doesn't have a lot of complaints against them. That said, there are some areas of concerns about their opportunity that I've listed below.
It's not a work at home opportunity.
Chances are you are reading my blog because you don't want to leave your house and deal with things like driving in traffic. If that's you, then Carvertise is as appealing to you as a daily Brazilian wax on your privates. I don't personally know how that feels but it doesn't seem appealing to me and neither does having to drive around to make money. But that's me. If you agree, then consider Swagbucks.com & FusionCash.com.
Allusive about payment…
Although Carvertise tells you how much you can earn per month. They fail to tell us when we get paid and how do we get paid? Are they sending us a check? Is it direct deposit or maybe it's Paypal. We just don't know. You would think it would be one of the questions in their FAQs. So that's a little weird.
What is a clean driving record?
They claim you need a clean driving record but they don't really elaborate on what that means. If you've had a minor fender bender in the past, are you disqualified? Or maybe you have a heavy foot and have received a few speeding tickets back in the day. Does that work against you as well? Again this is one of those situations where Carvertise fails to provide us information to determine if it's even worth trying.
It's not a full time income
Even if you can get a maximum campaign of 6 months with Carvertise, it's still not a full time income for most people. So if your goal is to totally replace what you make, then this isn't for you.
Carvertise Review Conclusion: Is it legit or a scam?
Based on my team's research it appears that Carvertise is the real deal and legit. The drivers are getting paid consistently without any delays or any other issues from what we can tell. Ultimately if you meet the qualifications and don't mind leaving your home to make some cash, it's not a bad way to earn extra income. But this opportunity still relies on you being picked to driver. So it's not something you really have much control over if you're looking for consistent income. That might be a deal breaker for some of you. Either way, I'd love to hear your thoughts about this company so leave a comment down below. Don't be shy, I don't bite and want to hear from you.
Do You Want A Carvertise Alternative?
Some of you may have been a little disappointed with the Carvertise opportunity? If that's you there is no need to fret. There are other ways you can earn a real income right from home. It doesn't require a car or leaving your house. What it does require is patience, a willingness to learn and hard work. I'm sure for most of you these are requirements you probably posses already. If so, I would encourage you to look into my Top Free Work At Home Recommendation. It's what's helped me earn a full time income from home that didn't require leaving my house. So check it out because it may help you do the same.
But I'd be lying if I claimed this is the only way I earn my income from home. I actually have other ways that I use which I teach in my Work At Home Courses because I'm a big believer in multiple streams of income. Why just have one source of income that can be wiped away when you can have various sources coming in. If you see the logic in that thought process, then be sure to check out my work at home courses as well.
In any event, I hope you have found this review on Carvertise useful. If so feel free to chime in down below as you leave. But I'm done yapping on my end. I hope to see you back soon.
Eddy with a y
big commitments such as running the carvertise application which uses GPS location of yours in my phone all day long + Early Termination fees of $300 etc . FOR LOUSY $100 A MONTH. No thanks!
This concept was blinked few years ago, but till the time it has been not implemented. Let me ask you one question advertising on car is legal? Answer is Big NO. You can not advertise or change the colour of your car without permission of RTO. Or else RTO will start sending challan for breaking the rule everyday..
It’s either scan or lack of
legal knowledge.
So just rec’d a check in the mail…$2900+…. supposed to cash check keep 1st weeks payment of $500 & use rest to pay the car wrapper???🤔. Sounds “scammy” to me?!?!
Read my previous comments about this and how you shouldn’t cash that check.
I just clicked on the carvertise link and got the message “Page Not Found”. Thought you might want to know. Whats the Website box for?
Thanks for the update.
Do carvertise want you to get a money order and mail it to them before they come wrap your car to pay the technician
Uh no. That is a scammer pretending to be carvertise.
Hi, I just applied to carvertise, I’m pretty sure I’ll qualify due to several factors. I will write an update here cause I saved you to my home screen on phone. And thanks for only putting up products you personally believe in . There are so many out there that just do it for the money and don’t care about others and their ability to make an informed decision. Sincerely Kellene
You’re welcome Kellene. Keep us posted.
Hi Eddy,
I got contacted from Carvertise though email, I never went to there website to ask about there car wrap advertising. but I did answer there email to see about the information that they need from me, two days later they sent me another email asking information about my car, but after reading all the reviews I don’t think I going to go though with the company, plus me car is 1994 mustang its to old and i don’t drive that much mileage.
I
It’s weird you would be emailed without ever showing any interest. Chances are it may be people trying to pose as Carvertise trying to scam you. So it’s good you’re not going forward with it.
Thanks for all the information, Good Blog
I received an email from Anton F. Parker, asking for my mailing address. I later received a check for 1,950.00 in the mail. Next they sent a text asking when could I deposit into my account. I was then told to deduct first week salary of $500 from the payment and extra $50 for running around. Send the $1,400 for the specialist assigned for the wrap on your car. I was told the specialist request the payment made via digital currency. So walk into the nearest store to purchase 14 pieces of iTunes card ($100 denominations). Scratch them to reveal the pin and send the pics to him. Then let them know my convenient date and time for branding. This seems all kind of wrong and illegal.
That’s scammers posing as carvertise. Don’t do anything they asked.
I was told the same thing..
they sent a check $2980 and the $2400 is for the wrap installer… and $80 for courier fee.. then I can keep the $500… scam or not? And website is autowtapcampaign.com
As I mentioned earlier you shouldn’t do anything with this check. It’s a common scam where con artist pretend to be legit companies.
Found this and was surprised at all the Different comments re:CARVERTISE. Just jumped on this deal and will give you ALL updates starting with pictures of envelope and check and info about company that I received Today 11/21/2018. Let’s help each other out when were able to stop the Bad Guys!
Did a Carvertise campaign. They shorted me one months pay. The also cut the campaign short by a month meaning I actually lost 2 months pay. They also got a free week beyond that due to how they pro-rate their pay… if you get the wrap in the middle of the month, that doesn’t count, has to be from beginning to end. Further, after working with them for over a month I got another job offer from them for the same campaign? And was solicited to find other potential representatives, I supplied them with info and those who provided their info also initiated contact; there was never a response.
So, yeah, it’s a real company and you can get paid… however, I would use the term Buyer Beware. Also, they take your credit card info under the pretense of you not showing up for the wrap they paid to put on your car… still waiting to see if I’m a victim of credit card fraud.
Wow, that’s crazy Brian. Thanks for sharing your experience with this company.
While the advertisement is affixed to our vehicle, can we deduct all the mileage driven on our taxes?
Hey! Does anyone have knowledge on the driving record aspect of Carvertise? Had some incidents when I was younger: tickets, fender benders but I haven’t but had a my last minor ticket in three+ years and my last accident was so long ago I can tell remember. This is so anecdotal I shouldn’t use it as evidence, but I drove from Iowa to Seattle the other week with my dad caravaninf behind me and he didn’t complain once about my driving. He actually called all my relatives to rave about me. It seem a harsh to penalize people for having annnny record.
Your insight is greatly appreciated!
Also the site says a car 2008 or newer and here it says 2005 or newer? Has someone here spoke directly with a rep?
Hey Eddy, with a y… I too answered an email/ad for doing a Carvertise & a person named Melinda Scott (got name only after asking about 100 times…probably isn’t real)..anyway, I received a “check” in the mail today for $2050.00, after I had received text msgs telling me it was on the way. When I opened the USPS Priority envelope, there was “JUST” the check…no paperwork? I texted that I’d rcvd it & they asked when I could deposit the check into my account? I told the “person”? That I was NOT going to deposit the “CHECK” n2 MY account but rather WOULD CASH it. .no response?!?… well, this “CHECK” is made ON a “CHECK” from Apple Texas Restaurants, INC.. as far as I know, there are none of these, nor any affiliates, in UTAH (where I live)… AND, the return address on the USPS Priority envelope is… Independence High School in San Jose, CA?
WTH, right?!? Thank you for your time! Dwight
That’s crazy Dwight. These scammers think they’re slick.
