Win a Car competitions
Many compers dream of winning a car – and there are usually a few opportunities to win a new set of wheels in prize draws and competitions.
Keep in mind that you’ll regularly see car competitions on spam-generating sites like MyOffers, OfferX or Vaniki. I never share or recommend any prize draws promoted on websites such as these – see my list of UK competition websites to see which ones to avoid! You can also pay to enter car prize draws on the BOTB competitions website but I don’t recommend it (see my post Pay to Enter competitions – are they gambling?)
Win a Vauxhall Corsa
Reynolds Motor Group are giving away a Corsa – visit the car at one of their locations around Essex, then guess how any toys are inside at www.reynoldsmotorgroup.co.uk/comp. The winner will be drawn from all correct answers on 18 December 2020. Keep an eye on their Facebook page to see where the car is!
Win a Dacia Sandero
The Sun are giving away a Dacia Sandero Stepway Essential (or you can take £8000 cash). Entry is by texting SUNWIN3 to 63320 (£2 cost + your standard network rate charge) before 30 November 2020. Or send your name and phone number by post to Sun Win Comp 12, P.O. Box 4445, Colchester, CO2 8GD – postal entry closes 2 December 2020.
Full details are at www.thesun.co.uk/competitions
Win a Mini Electric
Book a Christmas meal at TGI Fridays before 10 December 2020 (for dining between 23 November and 10 December) and you can enter a prize draw to win a Mini!
Book online at www.tgifridays.co.uk/christmas
Win a Volvo XC60
Buy 2 or more Pirelli tyres in a Kwik-Fit centre or at www.kwik-fit.com before 31 December 2020 to be in with a chance to win a Volvo XC60. After buying your tyres and getting them fitted, complete the entry form at www.kwik-fit.com/offers/pirelli-win-a-car.
Win a Ford Fiesta
When young UK drivers (age 17-35) join the Marmalade email list, they will be entered into a prize draw to win a Ford Fiesta and Black Box car insurance. Sign up at www.wearemarmalade.co.uk/about-us/competitions before 1 November 2021.
ITV Comps
You’ll usually find a car or two to be won on the ITV Competitions website too. There are of course phone and text entry routes costing £2 each, but it’s cheaper to buy a stamp and enter by post – and YES, people do win big prizes using the free postal entry route! Find out more in my post How to enter ITV competitions for free.

Got 2kids need a car
I want car…but I don’t have a money …so I’m participate this
Hi Di, i entered the swift motorhome comp, in the t and c’s it states that multiple entries will be disqualified, my wife usually enters the same competitions as me, it doesnt state that it is one per household, whats your thoughts on this?
That would be absolutely fine for different people to enter – the terms just suggest that multiple entries from the same person would be discounted (eg. suspicious variations on the same name, with different emails and phone numbers – this happens in quite a lot of competitions!)
I am won
Hi Di,
The Auto Trader comp has now closed early. No details as to why.
Strange! Thanks for letting me know, I’ve removed it and will look out for one to replace it!
Thanks for chance to get dream car if we lucky .
Hi Di,
Have always wondered, when it comes to entering a Text competition and it states (standard message rate applies), are these included in your mobile plan “unlimited texts”.
I know ITV type competitions and other Premium Rate Shortcodes tend to be a lot more in cost, and therefore are not included in mobile plan minutes, but the 10p Standard Text, is that included or does it charge you at the end of the month for the text.
I only ask as I know you have entered many of these competitions and would know from your own mobile bill if you have been charged or not for a standard rate text?
Example: Simply text MAX plus your full name and postcode to 60110 (this is a standard rate message, so should cost less than 10p).
Hi Paul
I am with EE and when I enter these type of text messages I get charged 13p per text and it is added to my bill at the end of the month. I have unlimited texts on my package and they are not included. However, last year the VISA text message comp didn’t cost anything!
All mine cost 8p on O2 Paul – I think its rare for a short code entry to be included in a free text allowance!
I won a MINI ONE with ITV. Sent a postcard, won a car!! So it absolutely can be done.
That’s fantastic news and congratulations !!
Plz I am winner to giveaway prizes gifts for my family
If any won!
my dad just hit a kangaroo so his car might get written off so we need a new car
Hello Di
It may be naive of me but as we all know, present a promoter with a fraction of an inch to give cause for disqualification and they’ll drive the equivalent of a 20-ton truck through one’s error. So tell me please: when I enter a prize draw, my automatic form filler states my telephone number in the +44 format, omitting the zero: even though I receive an acknowledgement of entry DOES THE DECLARED PHONE FORMAT NONETHELESS MAKE MY APPLICATION VOID…? I’ve tried to alter the automated system to the UK phone format but without success. Yes, of course I can manually change it but that’s tiresome in that one then has to do it each and every time… so, repeat, leaving it to the automatic +44 format, does that go
against me? Or am I being paranoid?
DH
Hm, that’s quite annoying for your David – with my Chrome autofill, I have a few different versions of my address to choose from, could you try setting up an alternative? To be honest though, I don’t think the phone format would affect your entries at all. It’s still the same phone number, and if the form has submitted then it will be fine!
Thanks for your reassuring answer, Di.
I realy wanna win
Hi Di , In the post today , I received a Screwfix leaflet which has a competition to win a VW camper van on it. It says you have to buy a ronseal product to enter it. It gives a website , screwfix.com/ronsealcompetition for terms , but I cannot find any info anywhere on line . Just wondered if you could help .
Thanks , Alan Sanbrooke.
Hi Alan! I’ve included this in my post now! The full terms are at https://community.screwfix.com/threads/ronseal-camper-van-prize-draw.213558/
Octopus Energy are doing a car comp (4 cars, and electric scooter and a bike, to be exact) – you get one free entry if you are a customer and another entry for everyone that you refer (plus the usual £50 referral credit each). Closes 7th Dec. See https://octopus.energy/blackfriday/
Sounds like a good challenge for you, Di?!
Now you’re talking Steve – I’m keen to get an electric car, and also to switch my energy supplier. I’ll get on it now – thankyou!
Great to see you’ve taken up the challenge on this one, Di! I just looked at the leaderboard and the top person has 85 points. How on earth…?! I decided to give this one a miss. Although I’d love to win an electric car, I’ve only just switched suppliers… but if you win, I’d love to see your new motor!
Thanks Steve! I only have three referrals – but that’s three chances to win!
Thanks for letting me know which comp it is . Got an entry in for that anyway.
Didn’t want to miss out on any others though . Good Luck…
Alan, It’s the win a mini comp on the bottles of cherry and pink Lambrini in Morrison’s.
Just come back from a weekend in Weston- Super- Mare . You can win a Fiat 500 with the Sovereign Shopping Centre , but according to the
terms on the website you must live within 50 miles of it which puts me out . Best of luck to anyone else though….(sovereign-centre.co.uk/win-a-car-for-Christmas-2018/ , is the web address)
P.S. Any more info on the comment about the Morrisons Cherry comp as I have googled but found nothing about it .
Thanks Alan! Here’s the clickable link to the Weston local comp! http://www.sovereign-centre.co.uk/win-a-car-for-Christmas-2018/
Brilliant Lambrini car comp! Do we have to have the label of a promotional bottle do you think? Or is it any lambrini label 75cl in the flavours stated as long as our receipt is dated between the promotion dates?
T&Cs state : “Please retain the label and receipt as proof of purchase. You will be asked to show this to claim prize if successful.” – but funnily enough, nowhere does it mention that it should be a promotional label. However personally I wouldn’t risk buying a non-Mini bottle!
Pink Lambrini is only £1.74 a bottle in Asda
Thanks for the tip Elaine! I got mine for £1.50 at Tesco but I have a feeling that promo has ended.
Thanks for this Di.
We’re on the hunt for a new car so winning one would be a great result!
Ace – good luck Cora!
