Car wrap advertising

Car wrap advertising covers a vehicle’s body in branded vinyl and runs it on a fleet of everyday rideshare, delivery and commuter vehicles, billed by the mile — turning private cars into a distributed fleet of moving billboards. It’s one of the cheapest ways in advertising to reach a thousand real people (roughly a $2.50–$10 CPM), with no ad-block, no scroll-past and, on the top networks, real measurement and retargeting. Below: wrap types, the companies that run them, what it costs, and how it compares to car tops.

Wrap types

  • Full wrap — the whole body; maximum impact and cost.
  • Partial wrap — doors and panels; high-impact at a lower price.
  • Lite / decal — a small branded section; the cheapest entry and the widest eligible-vehicle pool.

What it costs, honestly

Wraps buy the cheapest impressions in OOH, but an impression is not a memory — only a small share become recall. A wrap wins with a big, simple brand and enough cars to saturate a market. Compare on cost-per-memory, and ask every network for measurement, not just impression counts.

Car wrap advertising: FAQ

What is car wrap advertising?
Car wrap advertising turns a vehicle into a moving billboard by covering its body in branded vinyl. Wrap networks run the wrap on a fleet of everyday rideshare, delivery and commuter vehicles and bill you by the miles they cover — so your brand travels the busiest routes in a city all day. One wrapped car generates roughly 100,000+ impressions a month at one of the lowest CPMs in advertising.
Full wrap vs partial vs lite — what’s the difference?
A full wrap covers the whole car body (biggest, boldest, priciest). A partial wrap covers doors/panels (cheaper, still high-impact). A “lite” option covers a small decal for the lowest entry cost. Bigger coverage means more attention per impression; smaller coverage lowers the price and widens the eligible-vehicle pool.
Which companies do car wrap advertising?
The main car-wrap networks include Sherbet London, Wrapify, Priority Outdoor, Firefly, TruckAds, POAD, AdQuick and more. Carvertise is the largest (~300,000 vehicles); Wrapify leads on measurement (patented tracking + retargeting); Nickelytics adds GPS attribution; Good Traffic focuses on retail activation and event “BLITZ” swarms. Compare them in the full directory.
How much does car wrap advertising cost?
Wraps are sold on CPM and run among the cheapest OOH — roughly $2.50–$10 per thousand impressions. A typical scaled campaign is on the order of $40,000 for 20 wrapped cars over three months (~12M impressions); per-car pricing runs a few hundred dollars a month. Production is usually included by the network.
Can you measure and retarget car wrap advertising?
Yes, on the serious networks. Wrapify has patented real-time impression tracking and retargets exposed audiences across display, mobile, video and CTV; Nickelytics uses GPS plus nearby mobile-location data for attribution. That closes the loop from a physical wrap to a measurable outcome — the main reason to pick a measurement-led network.
Car wrap vs car top — which should I buy?
A wrap is the biggest, cheapest, always-on canvas — best for broad brand saturation. A car top (especially digital LED) is smaller but dynamic, dayparted and geo-targeted — best for timely, targeted, measurable messaging. Many brands run wraps for reach and digital tops for relevance. See car top advertising and the full comparison.
