FAQ

YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, WE HAVE ANSWERS

How do Branded Free Rides work?

We deploy fully wrapped vehicles and professional drivers to provide complimentary rides for your target audience. Riders get a VIP experience, while your brand gains visibility on the streets and inside the vehicle.

Who provides the drivers and vehicles?

Wrapped Media partners with top-rated rideshare drivers in each market. We ensure vehicles are newer, well-maintained, and driven by professionals with clean records.

Can we customize the rider experience?

Yes. In addition to branded wraps, you can add interior branding, in-vehicle media (static cards, tablets, scent, audio), and even provide snacks or drinks for riders.

What types of events are best suited for Free Rides?

This format works best for conferences, tradeshows, festivals, cultural events, and other gatherings where audiences need transportation and where a VIP experience adds value.

How do you measure success?

We track campaign impressions based on vehicle hours in market and can layer on digital attribution studies to measure lifts in web traffic, app installs, or store visits. Rider feedback and engagement anecdotes can also be collected.

What lead time is required to plan a Free Rides activation?

We recommend confirmation at least 6-8 weeks prior to the event. This allows time for creative approvals, production, vehicle wraps, and coordinating drivers and brand ambassadors.
