Review:
Wrapify is a hybrid between renting out your car — or space on your car — and driving for a living. To clarify, Wrapify works with advertisers that want rolling billboards. They rent out the space on your car and pay you to drive as usual. But you’re more likely to get a gig if you have a long commute, which means their billboard (your car) will get more eyeballs.
Whether or not you can get a gig is going to depend on where you live, where you commute and whether the company has an advertiser that’s interested in that area and your car. (You are not expected to drive around randomly. Just carry on as usual, with the only change being that your car is emblazoned with advertising logos.) If they choose you, your payment depends on whether you wrap just a panel, a portion, or the whole car, as well as how much and where you drive.
You’ll be notified and can accept or decline, if there’s a promotion in your area. Assuming that you accept, they’ll clean and wrap your car and even pay for an Uber to get to and from the wrapping facility.
Campaigns can last for one to six months, so it’s not a full-time gig. That said, it costs you nothing but pride (if you find it embarrassing to be a rolling billboard.) While some complain it takes a while to get a campaign, those who have done it are largely positive about the experience.
Notably, there are two other companies in this space — MyFreeCar and Carvertise — and there’s no prohibition from signing up for all three and picking the campaign you want (assuming you’re offered more than one from more than one company.)
What their wrappers say:
One blogger, did multiple posts about his experiences with two different campaigns. If you’re considering this, it’s worth checking out. The short version is summed up in the comment below, but it also links to the series.
Overall, I had a great first campaign experience.
Hi, download the application last year near the month of July and I’m still waiting for a campaign. I think that this company does not have the professional level or the ability to hire new drivers because they do not have a job.
I have a PT cruiser 2007 just under the line for most companies it’s high profile I think and not a new paint job is there any hope at this game ?
Hi, im a full time rideshare driver in Austin and the Dalls area. I average at least 10,000 impressions a day and im trying to understand how $400 a month is a fair monthly wage.
I almost got scammed by someone claiming to be from wrapify. They sent me a check For $2490.00 with a letter telling me what to do next. They told me to deposit the check through my bank account keep 500.00 for my first weeks pay, and when I get the date and time to get car wrapped, give tech the remaining balance. I called to have check verified and they verifiably told me that the check number had been cashed in March 2019 and the amount was only 300.00. So you no the rest of the story
I received a cashier’s check for the same thing. I was skeptical and wondered if it was a scam because I just received it via FedEx and wasn’t expecting it. I remembered signing up for something like this, but I didn’t think I would just receive a payment without being notified via email or by mail. The letter didn’t seem right to me. SMH…
Well I’ve just received my scam check too.
$4,450! The letter tells me to cash and keep 500 and give the rest to the technician. Why would they pay the tech that much?
I was texted 3 weeks ago that the payment package was coming by FedEx.
It came thru U.S. Postal service.
Sophia Gilliam name is on the check.

I applied with Wrapify after getting a notice by email or mail. They sent me a check for $1990.45 and instructed me to bank the check and and after clearing withdraw $1490.00 and go to post office and buy a postal money order for $1490.00 and use the $40 to mail the M.O overnight. This would leave $500 in my account which is my pay for 1st week or for 2 weeks.
When I inquired with my contact about the on-going pay during the 3 moth campaign he said it would be $500 biweekly. This is such an obvious scam. The bank approves the check for me as a courtesy. They advance the money. I shoulder the risk, not the bank. When in a week or a month they find the check is bad, they come after me. The real tip was the $500 biweekly.
Hey Ralph. This is a scam, but it’s not Wrapify that you’re dealing with. It’s a crook, who is trying to pretend they’re with Wrapify.
