Almost everything comes at a cost in GTA Online, from luxury cars to customizable offices. Fortunately, you don’t always have to be strapped for cash using a few frugal methods for vehicles. Here’s how to get free cars in GTA Online.

How do you get free cars in GTA Online?

While you’ll typically earn cars through facilities like Agencies and Bunkers, it can be pretty costly to afford such bases. So, if you want to avoid this route, you can use the following methods for free GTA Online vehicles:

Look for free vehicles in car shops
Complete tiers in Career Progression
Obtain them during promotional events

Getting vehicles from car dealerships is the easiest way to claim some free rides, instantly transporting them to your garage. Then, you can start working towards better vehicles by completing your GTA Online Career Progress tiers (similar to a Battle Pass system).

On some occasions, free cars are available while an update is active. For instance, players could previously claim an Obey 8F Drafter during the Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid Missions. This event only required you to reserve the vehicle on the GTA Online site, sending it to you through Legendary Motorsport. Something similar will likely happen again with another update, so make sure to check on the Newswire for any new free cars.
