You probably already know that it's possible to make some extra cash by signing up as an Uber driver or working for a service that delivers groceries or food. But beyond that, there are many ways to earn extra money with your car. If you're looking for some extra cash or want to build an entire business with just your vehicle, here are 18 of them:

1. Company car service

You can offer on-demand rides for Uber or Lyft. Start your service and work with corporate clients who need event transportation or customer pickup service.

2. Airport shuttle service

You can also specialize in transporting people to and from the airport. You may need a larger vehicle for this to accommodate large luggage.

3. Car rental service

If you don't want to drive your vehicle to earn money, use an app like Turo to rent it to others. They pay a small fee and then return the vehicle when they are finished.

4. Medical transport service

The elderly and people with medical conditions that prevent them from driving can often use reliable transportation to and from doctor's appointments. Specialize in this area, especially if you have an easily accessible ramp or vehicle.

5. Child pick-up service

For those with a background in childcare, you can use your vehicle to offer pickup and drop-off services for busy parents who are unable to take their children to school or various extracurricular activities.

6. Equipment transport service

If you can physically pick up and move heavy equipment, you could offer it as a specialized service for customers or businesses that need to transport supplies from one place to another. Your clients could be merchants with large power tools or businesses that intend to shoot video content with professional equipment.

10. Commission service

As a general commission provider, you can do a variety of tasks, such as picking up groceries or dry cleaning. There are apps like TaskRabbit that can help you connect with potential customers, or you can start your own and advertise it in your area.

11. Mobile dog grooming service

If you want to work with animals, you can add a small bathtub and some basic grooming items to your vehicle. Then drive to people's homes and serve straight out. This may require a slightly larger vehicle and some modifications.

12. Mobile pet transportation

Another option for animal lovers, provide a pet buyer service where you take dogs or cats from shelters or breeders and drop them off. These facilities are often far from shoppers, so some people may pay a significant amount to avoid the trip.

13. Mobile laundry service

If you have access to laundry or dry-cleaning services, you might offer a service where you collect people's clothes from their homes, wash or dry clean them, and then return them to them.

14. Recycling service

For an eco-friendly business idea, go to people's homes to collect recyclable materials like cardboard, plastic, or even electronics. You can then put it up for order and deliver it to the facilities that take each specific item.

15. Courier service

Couriers transport packages to various destinations. Start your service and then work with corporate customers in your area who don't want to make the deliveries on their own.

16. Utility vehicle rental service

If you live in an area with a lot of film and television activities, you can rent your car to use it as a prop on film or television sets. This can be especially relevant if you have a rare or interesting-looking vehicle.

17. Moving service

Another option for those with large vehicles is to offer a full moving service to people in your area who need help moving their furniture and other belongings to their new space.

18. Sale of used cars

Do you have a car or two that you no longer want? You could always sell them. If you can find great deals on cars and fix them up a bit, you could create a business by selling them at a profit.
