So-called wrapped vehicles have been around for about 15 years. A company called SuperGraphics , now a division of GM Nameplate, no relation to General Motors, contends to have designed the world’s first computer generated bus wrap for the now discontinued Crystal Pepsi. Such advertising has spread to other forms of public transportation-taxis, trains etc.
The problem is this type of advertising is very expensive, plus bus and train supply is limited and often requires sorting through governmental or bureaucratic red tape. By wrapping cars, advertisers are able to use this extremely effective form of advertising in a more cost effective manner.
We have been contacted by few of these new sites, but they are based outside the United States and would not really be of interest to our readers until the catch on here. For instance, a recently launched startup CashURWheels.com (profiled on KillerStartups.com) is based in Australia and has only listings in Australia. It does however, feature auctions and free registration so if it can catch on here in the United States it should be of interest. This type of marketing so intrigued me that I decided to survey some of the companies doing wrapped advertising over the Internet. It seems most of these companies charge for access to their sites, unlike CashURWheels.
DirectFreeCars.com offers access to its database of 20 companies for $24.95. They claim that you can either get a new car absolutely free or get paid for driving your car and receive checks from $120-$3400 every month.
Thefreecar.com offers a one year membership for $29.50 for access to its database so you can apply for a free wrapped vehicle.
To avoid any funny business you might want to try Freecarteam.com. They offer instant access to its database for $24.95. However they offer a money back guarantee. If you can’t use their information in 2 months they will refund your money and cancel your membership.
You can also try Ads2go.com, which is accepting nationwide applications for free.
You might also want to check out Cashmates.com which provides a list of additional companies (UK, Canada and US) that pay you to drive a wrapped car.

Hello Bobby.B and thanks for including cashurwheels in your review.
I would like to offer one clarification. Although launched here in Australia, we are actively seeking partners in US and have generated some buzz and are looking at US with anticipation in near future. The website is accepting registrations without any geographical constraints.
We would encourage users from US to jump on our website and let us know what they think of the idea and US centric suggestions if any.
Thanks & cheers.
