Know the Rules before Wrapping Your Vehicle or Fleet

Vehicle Wrap Rules To Consider

Using customized car wraps is a fantastic way to increase visibility for your business. They look sleek, won’t damage a vehicle’s paint job, and gain more daily impressions than billboards or newspaper ads. Before you decide to invest in a vehicle wrap (or wraps for a fleet), here are few things to consider.

Know the Laws

• Before you install a custom vehicle wrap or put a sign on your car, review state laws and local ordinances about advertising as it pertains to commercial and personal vehicles. If you’d like to display a business logo on your vehicle, you may have to register your car, van, or truck as a commercial vehicle rather than one strictly for personal use.
• If your signage on a car window hinders visibility (either yours or a those trying to look in), it could potentially be illegal (depending on state laws, of course).
• Neighborhood associations may have restrictions on cars with advertisements on them parked in front of houses or in driveways. If you have a wrap, this could pose a much bigger problem than a magnet or other more easily removable signage.
