Earn money while driving - how it works

Earning money while driving is an attractive idea given the high maintenance costs. We show you how to do this in this article.

Form carpools: protect the environment and share fuel costs

Especially for commuters who drive the same route every day or regularly, carpooling and carpooling are available.

Simply take colleagues, friends or other people who drive the same or similar route in your car. Give the passengers a flat rate or let them decide for themselves what or whether you want to pay for something.
To find passengers, the BlaBla platform is one of several alternatives. There you state how many people you can take with you, which route you take and how much you want to charge for your take-away service.

You can also work as a driver and drive around elderly or handicapped people in your own city. You use the Uber platform for this.

You will be given a few guidelines that you must comply with. But Uber works quite simply and is self-explanatory.
People can contact you via the Uber app. However, as soon as you request money for this travel offer, you need a business license. It is also recommended to apply for a passenger transport ticket. Taxi drivers also need this.

With this variant you will not earn any money, but you will save a lot.

Since you have to go to the inspection regularly, it makes sense to carry it out as a garage repair tester. You do not pay the resulting costs.
The car must not be older than ten years. In addition, you must not have traveled more than 250, 000 kilometers with it.

In addition to the options already mentioned, there are other ways to make money with your own car:

If you do not need the car daily or only at certain times, you can share it with friends or acquaintances in the residential area. Agree either a monthly flat rate or a fuel cost tariff.
If you know a company that advertises on cars or can identify yourself with one, you can have it printed on your car. This is often regulated through an agency. This is possible either on the car paint or on the license plate holder. You can earn up to 400 euros a month.
Do you own a classic car, rent it at weddings, on classic car trips or for simple chauffeur trips. You can decide for yourself whether you want to drive yourself or hand in the car completely.
