Drive for Dough We saw the coolest thing the other day that allows drivers to get paid for driving around town: Wrapify. Wrapify gives drivers an easy source of extra income plus the power to choose the marketer and their car’s “look”: full, partial or panel advertising. Wrapify’s proprietary mobile application is as easy as starting a car: drivers simply engage the app when they get in their vehicle -- technology checks in the driver and tracks their mileage as they go.
