Where to Find Free Cars in GTA Online in 2024

As an avid GTA fan, one of my favorite parts of each update is discovering what new free cars I can add to my ever-growing collection. Over the years across hundreds of hours in Los Santos, I‘ve assembled quite the garage of exotic vehicles without spending a virtual dime.

In this comprehensive guide from a fellow enthusiasts, I‘ll share the best methods for scoring free wheels in GTA Online this year.

Spin the Lucky Wheel

The most consistent way to get free cars is by spinning the Lucky Wheel inside The Diamond Casino. Each week the available prizes change, always including a new supercar as the top reward.

• You get one free spin per day
• Odds of winning the car are roughly 5-20% based on reports
• Partial clothing sets can be combined over weeks to unlock exclusive outfits

In 2023 so far, the Lucky Wheel has featured cars like the Overflod Autarch, Coil Cyclone II, and Invetero Coquette D10. By religiously spinning every day, you‘re bound to win some sweet bonus rides. Pro tip: wait 4 seconds before hitting spin for the best chances!

Complete Special Events and Updates

With every major GTA Online update, Rockstar tends to give out free vehicles for completing certain missions:

• The Contract (2021): Prize Ride Challenge Rewards
  • Calico GTF: 4 Pursuit Races
  • Vectre: 4 Street Races
  • RT3000: 4 Scramble Challenges
  • more over the weeks
• The Criminal Enterprises (2022): Oppression Tasks
  • Postlude rewards: Nagasaki Outlaw off-roader
  • Drug Businesses rewards: MTL Brickade 6×6 armored truck
• Winter 2022: Claim the Canis Kalahari off-road buggy for free on Christmas

By checking the Newswire around DLC launches, you can find out ways to earn these update-exclusive cars for just a bit of grinding. It‘s one of the best perks of jumping into new GTA content early!

Locate Hidden Car Spawns

Crafty GTA dataminers have uncovered interesting spawn points around Los Santos that seem to generate rare and exotic cars frequently. Through community tips, I‘ve collected two such "secret" vehicles:

• The Dinka RT3000 often appears parked off a dirt road northeast of the RON Alternates Wind Farm
• The vibrant Annis ZR380 can spawn parked near a driveway west of the Land Act Reservoir facility

If you don‘t see the car, switch sessions or private lobbies until it spawns. This method takes patience but lets you find cars not available anywhere else!

Redeem GTA+ Membership Rewards

Recently Rockstar introduced a subscription service called GTA+ with access to exclusive bonuses like free properties, vehicles discounts, and a monthly GTA$500k deposit.

Most notably, active members get The Principe Deveste Eight in March 2023. In February, it was the bravado Youga Classic 4×4.

While GTA+ costs $5.99 a month, you can subscribe briefly to claim your free car. Just be sure to cancel renewal once you redeem it!

Use Cheat Codes in Story Mode

For those looking to expand your fleet in GTA V‘s story mode, cheat codes can spawn everything from hybrids to military vehicles straight into your garage. While they disable trophies and achievements, it‘s the easiest way to try out expensive cars instantly rather than grinding for money.

Here are some of my most-used car cheat codes with the phone number combinations:

• Faster Cars
  • Comet – 227-555-0168
  • Rapid GT – 227-555-0147
  • Truffade Adder (Bugatti Veyron) – 227-555-0182
• Off-Road Vehicles
  • BF Injection – 227-555-0142
  • Bifta dune buggy – 227-555-0175
• Utility Trucks
  • Rubble tipper garbage truck – 227-555-0196
  • Docktug boat truck – 227-555-0121

Building a Collection Over Time

While not "free," many awesome vehicles can be earned over time by playing GTA Online consistently across DLC updates:

• New missions and heists often award first-time completion bonuses of $100-500k. This lump sum can pay for new cars.
• Invest carefully in the in-game stock market using this guide – high returns allow big purchases.
• Join a friendly grinding crew to collaborate on heists and business sales for million dollar payouts.

With some smart investments and a few weeks of consistent play rather than grinding all day, you can afford exciting new supercars and builds. The journey is part of the fun!

Wrap-Up: Making the Most of Rewards

As a devoted fellow gamer, I hope these tips help you score awesome free vehicles and build an elite GTA ride collection. With some luck at the Diamond Casino wheel, dedication to new events and missions, exploring secret spawns, and taking advantage of membership perks, you‘ll be cruising Los Santos in style on someone else‘s dime in no time.
