How Advecti Works
Whether you're a driver looking to earn or a business ready to advertise, getting started is simple. Here's how it works.
Driver Earnings by Zone
Earnings are based on proximity to the advertiser's target area

High Foot Traffic Bubbles
Earn money even while parked
What are Bubbles?
Bubbles are designated high foot traffic areas around Columbus — shopping centers, event venues, busy downtown streets, and popular gathering spots. When you park your wrapped car in one of these bubbles, you keep earning a flat idle rate because your advertisement is still getting seen by hundreds of people passing by.
This means you don't always have to be driving to earn. Stop for coffee, run an errand, or grab lunch in a bubble zone and your car keeps working for you. Idle-bubble pay is flat — it does not scale with your monthly tier.
Idle Bubble Rates (Full Hours / Half Hours):
Full Wrap
Premium Zones: $1.00/hr / $0.50/hr
I-270 Zone: $0.50/hr / $0.25/hr
Partial Wrap
Premium Zones: $0.60/hr / $0.30/hr
I-270 Zone: $0.30/hr / $0.15/hr
Driving Hours
Earnings vary by time of day
Full Hours
8:00 AM - 10:00 PM
Drivers earn the normal rate during full hours.
Half Hours
10:00 PM - 2:00 AM & 6:00 AM - 8:00 AM
Drivers earn half the normal rate during these hours.
Dark Hours
2:00 AM - 6:00 AM
Drivers cannot earn during dark hours.
Bluetooth Beacon Verification
The way we make sure the wrapped car is actually the car on the road.
Why it matters
GPS alone can't prove you're actually inside the wrapped vehicle — your phone could be in a friend's car, on a bus, or sitting in a coffee shop window. The beacon closes that loop. It is the single source of truth that links a driving session to the wrapped car our advertisers are paying for.
Installed during wrap day
When your car is wrapped at our partnered shop, a small low-energy Bluetooth beacon is discreetly placed inside the vehicle. It runs on a multi-year coin cell battery, no wiring, no maintenance.
Your phone listens for it
The Advecti driver app scans for your unique beacon ID in the background. When you're inside the car, the signal is strong — that's the green light to start earning.
Earnings are gated
If the beacon drops out of range — you stepped out, the phone moved to another car, the wrap car is parked while you Uber in a different vehicle — the clock pauses automatically. No beacon, no pay.
What the beacon does
- Proves the phone is physically inside the wrapped car
- Prevents accidental earnings when you're a passenger in another car
- Gives advertisers verified, audit-grade session data
- Pauses driving hours the moment range is lost
What the beacon does NOT do
- It does not track you when the app is closed
- It does not collect audio, photos, or contacts
- It does not communicate with the cloud — only with your phone
- It does not drain your phone battery (BLE uses <1% per shift)
Tamper Protection
The beacon is paired one-to-one with your driver profile. Moving it to another car, lending it to someone else, or attempting to spoof the signal will flag the session in our admin dashboard and pause earnings until the issue is resolved.
This protects both you and the advertiser: drivers playing by the rules get paid promptly, and advertisers know every impression came from a real wrapped car on the road.
How Our Pay System Works
The more you drive each month, the higher your hourly rate becomes.
We use a tiered system that rewards consistency. Tiers apply to driving hours only — idle-bubble pay is flat all month. Casual drivers don't earn casual money — they earn far less than the math implies.
Tier 1
First 30 hours
25% rate
You earn at 25% of your base rate.
Tier 2
Hours 31–60
50% rate
You earn at 50% of your base rate.
Tier 3 — Full rate
Hours 61–90
100% rate
You earn your full rate on every hour.
Tier 4 — Golden rate
Last 10 hours (91–100)
200% rate
Double pay on the final 10 hours of the month.
The Math Is Brutally Honest
If you only drive half your monthly hours, you don't earn half the money — you earn far less.
A driver completing just 60 hours picks up Tier 1 + Tier 2 pay, but misses the entire Tier 3 (full rate) and Tier 4 (double pay) windows. The drivers who push through all 100 monthly hours pocket the 200% Tier 4 bonus on the last 10 hours — that's where the big money is.
Drive all 100 hours
You collect Tiers 1–3 and the full 200% Tier 4 bonus on hours 91–100.
Drive 90 hours
You're earning full rate but leaving the Tier 4 double-pay bonus on the table.
Drive 60 hours
You're stuck at 25%–50% rate. You're earning a fraction of your potential.
Our Commitment to You
We're transparent about this because we want drivers who are serious. If you can commit to 100 hours of driving per month — roughly 3.5 hours a day — you'll earn real money, and the Tier 4 double-pay bonus is there to reward the last 10 hours of that push. If you can't, this program probably isn't for you, and we'd rather you know that upfront.
The drivers who succeed with Advecti make it part of their daily routine: rideshare, deliveries. Stack your miles, hit your hours, and watch your rate climb.
