Why Advertise With Us

Drive-Buy Ads: We're not selling Ads — We're selling Local Visibility.

Your next customer is already on the road. So is your ad.

Drive-Buy Ads puts your brand on verified local vehicles moving through the exact neighborhoods where your customers live, shop, and commute. Unlike digital ads, vehicle advertising cannot be skipped, blocked, or scrolled past. It works while the car is moving and while it is parked.

Start with removable magnets, add vinyl on the zones that matter most, then move into partial or full wraps when you want maximum street-level coverage.

What does it cost?

Magnets from $63 per door; vinyl doors from ~$151 per door.

Transparent, zone-based pricing. Magnetic door placements (24×12, production + install) start around that magnet rate; vinyl door decals from the vinyl rate. Rear-window tint, hood, bumper, and custom wrap campaigns are quoted per zone in the campaign builder after you sign up.

When you want more coverage, you can expand into more zones, rear glass, hood, bumper, or request a partial or full wrap campaign.

Final totals depend on zones, number of vehicles, and campaign duration.

Why vehicle advertising works

Out-of-home advertising on moving vehicles consistently outperforms static placements in recall and cost-per-impression. Here's what the research shows:

400K-500K

Estimated impressions per active driver per month in urban areas

Modeled from route data (pilot) × DOT traffic counts × industry visibility index

96%

Of Americans traveled by car in the past week

29%

Of consumers visited a store within a week of vehicle ad exposure

9M+

Other vehicles passed annually by a car driving 15,000 miles/year

Source: OAAA fleet exposure estimates

Impression figures are modeled estimates based on route data from active campaigns (where location check-ins are enabled), cross-referenced with state DOT traffic counts and standard visibility-index methodology — not self-reported mileage. Actual impressions vary by route, city density, and time of day.

Sources: OAAA / Geopath industry benchmarks, U.S. travel and retail visitation studies, and Drive-Buy Ads modeling. Ranges vary by market, creative, and fleet size.

Scale month by month

Many advertisers start with magnets to validate the channel, then add vinyl and eventually move into wrap-style coverage when they want to dominate more surface area.
