The Perfect Part-Time Business For Retirees Who Love to Drive

As a retiree, you love the new found freedom you have. You can structure your days just like you want to. But maybe you'd still like to make some money. If only there was a business you could start yourself that you could work as little or as much as you'd like. Something where you're in charge, and can make some really good money. If you love to drive, there are three businesses that are not only enjoyable, but can make you great money. Here's how:


First of all, you should consider a senior errand service. As seniors get older, completing errands can become quite difficult, or in some cases, impossible. Still, seniors need groceries, medicine picked up from the pharmacy, mail dropped off at the post office and more. Errand runners can do these things for seniors. You simply get in your car and perform the errands, just like you'd do them if they were your own errands. It's easy work, and it helps others. Running errands for seniors is a valuable service for any community, and can make you some good money. Errand runners make, on average, $25 an hour. Plus, you can work as little, or as much as you'd like.

Second, maybe you'd like to do field inspections. Field inspectors survey properties, such as construction sites, foreclosed homes or a new office building, and fill out some basic forms, take a couple pictures and take a measurement or two. Field inspection is drive-by profits. Many of the jobs take less than half an hour, and can pay you from $15 to $50. It's quite possible to do multiple jobs in an hour, thus making even more money. Like running errands for seniors, you can work as little or as much as you'd like. You simply take the jobs you'd like to take. You're the boss. You decide.

And finally, maybe you'd like to start your own courier service business. Couriers transport packages and other items across town. They perform a service similar to UPS and FedEx, but are simply better able to do local and last-minute jobs. It's a much-needed service for any business or company. A bouquet of roses needs to get to Mrs. Wilder. A legal document needs to be signed and returned within an hour. A courier can make sure that happens. You simply get in your car, pick up the item and then drop it off somewhere. It's that easy. Couriers are currently making an average of $36 an hour. Work 10 hours a week and you've just made $360.

There are many ways to make extra money during your retirement. You don't need to get a low-paying part-time job with no schedule flexibility to do it. If you love to drive, you can be on the road to making money before you know it.
