Rent out your car or rent a car yourself

This is an idea that my American readers can already take advantage of, which will hopefully be coming to the UK very soon. HyreCar allows you to list any unused car you own out for rental. The cars are often rented by drivers who want to try out driving for ride-sharing services like Uber/Lyft.  HyreCar takes care of the insurance.

This has become super attractive way of making money by car owners who have an extra vehicle sitting on the drive as they can rent their car out and make over $1000 per month for each vehicle. There is no need to go out and find insurance that will accept ridesharing, no phone calls, you can just sign up and they take care of everything.

If you are considering ride sharing as a different way to extend your income, the 2 day minimum rental is a great way to rent a car and just give it a try. (Breeze, who offer an similar service has a 6 week minimum rental, expects payment of $100 upfront, and takes 2 weeks to get you into a car.) It is perfect for those who aren’t sure if they want to commit to ridesharing and just want to try it out. HyreCar has no waiting period. You can get you into a car the day after you sign up, they currently have a massive selection of cars to choose from. There are no sign up fees, you can try it out for a few days and if you don’t like it you can just return the car. (You can find out more here.)

WhatUsersDo

What Users Do allows you to get paid to visit websites. You register to join the panel of internet users, use your own computer or laptop at home and record your thoughts on different websites, either by completing tasks or giving general feedback on layout, ease of use and how information is presented.

WhatUsersDo pays up to £8 per test, with most tests lasting less than £20. You are paid for your honest feedback, with payments made through Paypal. It is all straightforward and easy to do, the only issue would be if you are camera shy about voicing your thoughts and opinions aloud.
