The holiday delivery rush is over, and plenty of drivers are looking at January and asking the same question: how do I get more out of the miles I'm already driving?
If you deliver food, groceries or packages in your own car, here's one answer. Vugo has wrapped rideshare, taxi and fleet cars for advertisers since 2021, and delivery drivers carry wraps too. You drive the way you already do, and the wrap earns a monthly rate for every month it's on your car.
Why advertisers want delivery cars
A delivery route goes places a rideshare trip often doesn't. That makes a delivery car a good place for a brand:
- Neighborhood streets. Deliveries end at front doors, so the car spends its day on the residential streets where people live and shop, not just highways and downtown.
- The busy hours. Lunch and dinner are the peak of a delivery day, and they're when the streets, sidewalks and parking lots are busiest.
- Parked where people are. Every pickup is outside a restaurant or a store, and every drop-off is outside someone's home. A parked wrapped car is seen up close, by people on foot.
How it works
- Apply. Tell Vugo where you drive and how much. Vugo matches drivers to advertisers' campaigns in their market, and you see the terms before you accept a match.
- Get wrapped. A professional wrap shop installs the wrap at a time that works for you, at no cost to you. Depending on the campaign, it's a full wrap or a partial one.
- Drive as usual. Keep your normal schedule and your normal apps. When Vugo asks, send a quick photo of the car to show the wrap is on and in good shape.
- Get paid. Each campaign pays a monthly rate, set per campaign and paid after each month ends.
Campaigns run at least two months. If an advertiser extends one, you decide whether to keep the wrap on. When it's over, the shop removes it, and Vugo covers that too.
What drivers usually ask
Do I have to pay for anything? No. Vugo covers the wrap, the installation and the removal. You never pay a deposit, a fee or an installer.
Can I deliver for more than one app? Yes. Your car carries the wrap, whichever apps you deliver for, and you can drive rideshare too. Check each app's own vehicle rules for anything specific to your market.
How much does it pay? It depends on the campaign: the market, how much of the car is wrapped, and how long the campaign runs. You see the rate before you accept.
Will the wrap damage my car? Professionally installed vinyl is designed to come off cleanly at the end of a campaign, and installation and removal are done by the shops Vugo works with. It works best on paint that's in good condition.
Do I have to drive anywhere special? Not day to day. The point of a wrap is that it goes where your day goes. Some campaigns also pay drivers to bring their cars to an event or a neighborhood for a few scheduled hours, and those are always your choice to accept.
Watch out for wrap scams
"Get paid to wrap your car" is one of the most common scams aimed at drivers. It usually arrives as a text or an email, sends a check for more than the agreed amount, and asks you to forward the difference to an "installer". The check bounces, and the money you sent is gone.
- A real program never sends you money first. Vugo pays only after your wrap is installed and verified, never by check in advance.
- You never pay for installation. Anyone asking you to pay a shop, a deposit or a "processing fee" isn't Vugo.
- Check the sender. Vugo emails drivers only from a govugo.com address.
- If in doubt, ask. Forward anything suspicious to support@govugo.com, and we'll tell you whether it's real.
Put your miles to work
Your car is already on the road for hours a day. A wrap lets those hours earn twice.
