Learn About Local Test Drive Incentives
Local dealerships may also offer special rewards for taking a test drive of one of their vehicles.
These types of local dealership test drive offers may not be associated with a specific automotive brand or model of vehicle, but they are usually offered by the dealership just to get traffic on their lot and sell some cars.
You can often find these promotions advertised at the dealership itself as well as in local newspapers or via their mailing lists, so you just have to keep an eye out for them.
Tips When Test Driving Cars for Money
- Be Up Front: Just let the dealer representative know that you don’t intend to purchase a vehicle today, but you were offered a $50 Gift Card to take a test drive, so you decided to take advantage of the offer and would like to see a specific model. If you like the car, you may always purchase one in the future, but there’s no reason to pretend that you are going to buy a car that day.
- Be Prepared: When you arrive at the dealership, have all of your paperwork completed and ready to go, so all a representative has to do is simply provide the redemption code. Not everybody may be familiar with the test drive offer, so make it as easy as possible for them to do their part, and things should go smoothly.
- Make it Easy to Get Rid of You: If you’re up front and prepared, they may just give you your redemption code quickly and send you along your way. They may be busy, working with other clients, or just don’t want to deal with it, so you could get lucky and earn a bonus just for showing up.
- Be Ready to Test Drive: The dealership may make you take a test drive, so bring your driving gloves. Most dealers will require that you provide a valid driver’s license and possibly your proof of insurance as well, so have those documents ready to hand over as soon as you get there.
- Drive a Car You Like: If you’re going to go through a test drive, you may as well enjoy the ride, so test drive the vehicle that is most suited for your needs and that you potentially would buy in the future.
- Be Patient: The dealership may be busy, and they might have a lot of customers who are actually interested in buying a vehicle that day, so be patient during your visit, as it may take an hour or more on busy days.
- Schedule Ahead: You may consider calling ahead, letting them know that you received the test drive promotion, and schedule your test drive at a time that is convenient and less busy for the dealership. It could make everything much easier on everyone involved.
- Be Cool: If you’re nice about the whole experience and treat everybody very politely, the dealer will most likely be happy to oblige you, but they do have the right to refuse anybody that they want, so don’t give them a reason to refuse you your test drive bonus.

Hi,
on the Jeep Wrangler Test Drive Bonus, the link published is for the Chrysler dealership locator. Do you also have a Jeep Bonus?
Beverly says
My local subaru & jeep ,Chrysler refused to honor mine because I wasn’t buying a vehicle the claimed it would take 3 weeks to receive the card um I know that they are instant got mine from Hyundai and Nissan they treated my I was a piece of garbage
steve baker says
Me too same here
Crystal Frey says
Does anyone know how long it takes to get the gift card to your email?
Becky says
One place it was in my email before I even left the lot and the others were usually within 24 hours
James says
I did the Hyundai and the Jeep offers today. Once I gave the representatives at each dealership the coupon code for each offer, they gathered and entered information from me onto their computer, and I immediately got the email with the redemption instructions. The email then gives you the option for an instant digital $50 gift card OR a mailed $47 Visa gift card (because they deduct $3 from the $50 balance to cover the shipping).
Buck says
As of 06-17-2019, it seems the Jeep and Subaru promotions are no longer popping up on their respective sites.
laura says
i believe it depends on your location. I was able to get both of those.
Bryan says
Hyundai, Jeep and Subaru offers are all still good as of April 28. Hyundai steered me to a dealership 15 miles away, while Jeep and Subaru were local. Interesting, even though I am legitimately looking for a new car (my lease is almost up) the dealerships wanted to just redeem the codes and send me on my way. Had to convince them to even let me test drive (and Subaru dealer never did et me, all I got to do was sit in their vehicles).
Vik says
I am interested in a Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. I live in Southeast MI and I have called around some local Hyundai dealerships and it seems the closest single participating dealership is in Flint, MI (60 Miles).
Is there a way to filter out non-participating dealerships through all manufacturer websites listed above in this post which specific dealerships participate in gift card/test drive offers?
Bill says
Anyone still seeing the Subaru offer? I’m not getting it. And yes, I turned off my ad blocker.
Lee says
I just got a $65 Subaru Visa for a test drive. I believe it varies from state to state. I think if you are shopping for a new vehicle these are great to do. I am shopping for a NEW one as mine was totaled. However, if you are NOT looking for a new car, please try to go on off-peak hours when it’s quieter (not a Saturday and not after 5 pm on weekdays). These sales guys work hard and it’s the polite thing to do. Trust me they’re bored on weekdays during the day.
Thomas says
The Hyundai offer is down to $40 as of 1/8/2019.
Subaru non no longer appears to be working.
Jeep has not worked at all, at least in Upstate NY.
Glad I got in on the $50 offers from Suby & Hyundai last month!
Vijay says
Guys
I live in Minnesota and I just searched for the subaru offer
it is neither 25 nor 35, it is 100 bucks, sweet deal
not sure if it is 100 all over the US or not, but Minnesotans. you may want to try it out
Lee says
In February, it’s down to $65 but that’s cool too.
Amy D says
Subaru website doesn’t give a pop up, I looked all over and nothing comes up for the gift card. Hyundai however was great! For my local one I didn’t even have to go test drive, they emailed it to me after I explained the situation and I got a 50 dollar gift card
jennifer says
what did you do
Anurag Ray says
Subaru is offering $35 and NOT $25. I just received it. So just thought of passing it along.
MM Team says
Thank you very much for letting us know about the increase in the Subaru test drive bonus. I’ve added this information to the above article. Really appreciate your help.
C.Denise Hansell says
Hello, I received an email in the month of November 2017 from Nissan.
The email indicated that if I test drive a vehicle I would receive a $25 gift card.
I can the information to the receptionist at the Westside Nissan in Jacksonville, Florida and the information had a code on the form. Todays date is February 5,2017.
I have not received the gift card. The company said there was something wrong with my email address. I have given two email address and I am continuously receiving email from Nissan including today. This is unfair to me and false advertisement
Can you assist me in this matter. Thanks and God Bless!
Laura says
Can you go to 3 different dealerships and redeem in a month? Thanks!
Hmunson says
I’m wondering the same thing.
MM Team says
Hello Laura,
Most of the promotional terms contain language indicating that you can only redeem 1 offer per household or that you can only redeem the offer 1 time within a certain time period.
So in general, they do not usually allow you to redeem this offer at a bunch of different dealerships within a short period of time.
However, I suppose if you have multiple email addresses and access to different home addresses from your friends and/or relatives, you might be able to pull off a multi-car test-drive run.
If you decide to try, please come back and share the details. I’d be interested to hear how that goes.
Thanks for your comment.
ERIC RICHARDSON says
Still confused…is it six months per manufacturer? Or six months inclusive of ALL manufacturers…every single one of these is serviced by the same company and includes exactly the same language:
“Your Program Sponsor is the entity that marketed and/or distributed the reward, and is either a direct or indirect Client of Swift Prepaid. Limit one coupon redemption per household per 6 months.”
I was hoping I could get $50 from Hyundai, $50 from Jeep, etc…
James says
I just got $50 from Hyundai and $50 from Jeep in the same day. These are both part of two completely separate dealerships in my area. I would imagine customers can’t get multiple offers from multiple manufacturers within the same actual dealership.
Susan says
I am or just did buy a new Nissan Rogue I asked for this reward card they said I needed a code. I cannot find the ad I was seeing the offer to start with thanks in advance if you can help
