How UK Car Competition Sites Work
From supercars to camper vans, a whole category of UK sites gives away vehicles. They’re a fun, affordable flutter — but it pays to understand how they operate.
Two ways they run
Car competitions use the same two legal routes as any prize competition. Some are skill competitions — you answer a question or play spot the ball, and the prize goes to the best answer. Others are free-entry draws, where a winner is picked at random and a free postal route keeps it legal.
Entry fees and cash alternatives
Entry prices usually scale with the value of the car — a small hatchback costs less per entry than a supercar. Almost all offer a cash alternative, so you can take the money instead of the vehicle if you’d prefer.
What to check
Before entering, look at whether it’s skill or a draw, whether there’s a free route, the size of any cash alternative, the closing date and the terms. See how BOTB works, what happens after you win a car and what a skill-based competition is.
