Best Car Competitions UK 2026: 6 Legit Sites Ranked

Last checked 25 October 2026 against our live board, our published operator reviews and the government's Code signatory list.

Short answer: On our ratings on 25 October 2026, the best UK car competition sites are 7Days Performance (4.7/5), Dream Car Giveaways (4.6/5), then Click Competitions (4.5/5). That day our board held 55 live car draws from 19 operators. The typical one cost 33p a ticket with a cap of about 150,000 entries, so a 1-in-1,000 chance of winning cost a median £72. Small-cap classic and everyday cars gave the best odds per pound.

PrizeDrawsDaily is an independent directory. We don't run draws, and no operator pays for its place on this list.

How we ranked the best car competition sites

Every site here has a published PrizeDrawsDaily review that describes cars as the site's lead prize line, and had at least one car draw you could enter on our board. A site with no car draw running isn't ranked, because you can't enter a draw that isn't there; the car specialists in that position are covered below the table. We ordered them by our rating, which weighs proof of payouts, how the draw is run, how clear the free entry route is and how plainly the terms read (how we review). Ties go to the site with more live car draws on our board on 25 October, then to Code signatories, then to the longer trading record.

Signatories to the government's voluntary Code of Good Practice for Prize Draw Operators commit to spend limits, self-exclusion, 18+ checks, a free entry route shown before you pay and published odds. They also promise to award the advertised prize or a fair cash alternative, and not to extend an end date or cancel a draw because sales were low. Nobody audits this, so treat it as a public promise. We matched each site against the gov.uk list on 20 October 2026; it was unchanged on 25 October. "Not listed" means we couldn't find the trading name, which can happen when a company signs under another name.

The ranking: 6 best car competition sites UK

The best car competition sites in the UK on 25 October 2026 were 7Days Performance, Dream Car Giveaways and Click Competitions, all rated 4.5/5 or higher. Five of the six are Code signatories, but only 7Days has stated, in our review, that it draws on the date even if a draw hasn't sold out.

"Not stated" means our review doesn't record the rule either way, so check the terms, though Code signatories have promised not to extend for low sales.

The top picks in more detail

7Days Performance has traded since 2018, streams its draws on Facebook and publishes winners with photos and video. The company states draws go ahead with no rollovers or extensions even when a competition hasn't sold out, which matters more than it sounds (see below). Our review's warning: ticket counts sit well above the car's value, and the people who win most tend to spend most.

Dream Car Giveaways publishes odds and ticket caps, draws live with a recognised random number generator, and reports more than £155 million in prizes. The listed lottery group Jumbo Interactive bought it in late 2025. One caveat: after very high-value wins reportedly went to one player within about a week, customers questioned the results and Trustpilot temporarily closed its profile to new reviews. DCG denies any rigging and we've seen no evidence of wrongdoing, but you should know.

Click Competitions has 98% of its 4,400-plus Trustpilot reviews at five stars and shows a ticket cap and draw date on every competition. Read its wallet terms before topping up, because it can refuse to return deposited funds it decides weren't "sufficiently used".

Storm Competitions suits anyone after classic and older cars. On 25 October its 1966 Lotus Cortina draw was still capped at 11,999 tickets at £3.99 each, closing 28 October.

Lucky Day makes the six on rating, but read its review first. It doesn't appear on the Code list, and it offers no spending limits, self-exclusion or cool-off.

Car specialists with no draw on our board

These four car-led sites have published reviews and would rank on rating, but none had a car draw on our board on 25 October, so they sit outside the table. Check each site directly for what's open.

Rev Comps (4.1/5) has more than 6,250 vehicle winners, live draws every Monday and Thursday, and a five-star score across more than 9,000 Trustpilot reviews. Its website names the operator as Rev Competitions Limited, a company registered in Gibraltar (No. 126588), so it does not appear on the UK Companies House register. The UK company it previously traded through, Rev Corp Ltd (11981806), was renamed 2SAVI LTD in July 2026.

BOTB (4.3/5) works differently from the rest. It has run since 1999 on a Spot-the-Ball skill game, and much of its play now sits inside a subscription Pass with "game credit". If you're looking for a BOTB alternative with simple one-off tickets, every site in the table above sells them.

Aspire Competitions (4.3/5) runs cars, motorbikes and VW campervans, with live draws on Facebook and YouTube.

Nitrous Competitions (4.3/5) runs cars and bikes with a skill question and live Facebook draws. It doesn't appear on the Code list, and our review cites two winners who say they were sent a cheaper headset than the one advertised.

Close, but not in the six

Elite Competitions (4.4/5) would make the six on rating, and its terms award every prize in full whatever the sales, with draws never extended. We left it out because our review describes a variety site led by £1m homes, watches and instant wins, with supercars one line among several.

Hittin It Big (4.7/5) is cash-led but had two car draws on our board, and it draws even if a competition doesn't sell out. Pristine Competitions (4.0/5) had four, though some customers report draw dates changing without clear notice. LLF Games (3.8/5) is on the Code list, yet its terms let it extend a competition three times by ten days, then pay ticket sales minus 30% and advertising costs as a cash alternative. That sits awkwardly with the Code.

We haven't published reviews of McKinney or R Kings, so neither is rated here.

What a 1-in-1,000 chance costs in today's car draws

Your odds are your tickets divided by the cap. Ticket price × cap ÷ 1,000 gives the cost of a 1-in-1,000 chance, so you can compare a 2p ticket with a £3.99 one. These were the cheapest car draws on our board on 25 October 2026 that were still open on 27 October:

Redline's 2p Fiesta ST150 (£17.00) closed on 25 October. The median across all 55 car draws was £72.00; the dearest, a Porsche GT4 RS, was £237.00.

Cheap tickets don't mean good odds. Of the 25 car draws priced at 30p or less, 20 were capped at 400,000 entries or more. Group the board by ticket price and the median cost of a chance falls as the ticket gets dearer:

It's a median, not a rule: Redline's 2p Saxo beats 11 of the 13 £2-plus draws. These close within days, so check the car competitions closing this week.

Is the car worth the ticket money?

Multiply the ticket price by the cap to get what a sell-out brings in, then divide by the cash alternative. At 1.0 the whole pot would go to the prize. (Revenue isn't profit: the operator also pays for the car, card fees and marketing.)

Only 16 of the 55 car draws on our board on 25 October put a cash figure in the title, so that's all we can measure. Their median was 2.43, meaning a sell-out brings in £2.43 for every £1 of cash alternative. The range ran from 1.10 (Hittin It Big's "£40,000 or BMW M4" at 22p × 199,999) to 5.57 (a VW Caddy Maxi or £16,000 at 99p × 89,999). All eight Dream Car Giveaways car draws named one (ratios 2.04 to 3.50). Where no cash figure is given, we don't guess the car's value.

Are UK car competitions legit?

Most are, if they meet the legal test. Under the Gambling Act 2005 a paid car competition is lawful only if it offers a genuine free entry route with the same odds as a paid ticket (Schedule 2), or includes a real element of skill (section 339), such as BOTB's Spot-the-Ball. A trivial question on its own doesn't make a draw a skill competition. Without either, it's an unlicensed lottery.

For a site that isn't on our list, run the checks in how to spot a legit UK raffle site; are prize draws legal in the UK has the legal detail. Walk away from any site with no free entry route, no named winners, no company details, or a form asking for card details to "claim" a prize.

How car competitions work

The operator sets a ticket price, a cap and a closing date. You enter online or free by post, answer a question if there is one, and wait for the draw, usually streamed live with a random number generator. A per-person limit stops anyone buying the whole pool.

Two numbers decide your odds: the cap and how many tickets you hold. There's a third, if the draw closes on its date rather than at sell-out. If a draw capped at 100,000 has sold 40,000 by its date, your 10 tickets are 1 in 4,000, not 1 in 10,000. That only helps if the operator draws on the date instead of extending, which is why the column above matters. Check the sold counter on the operator's page where it shows one.

Some car draws bundle instant wins, prizes tied to ticket numbers that you see the moment you buy, while the car is still drawn at the end. On 25 October, 12 of the 80 listings in our car category were instant-win games or carried instant wins, including three of the 55 single-car draws. Code signatories can't take credit cards for instant wins. Our instant win competitions page tracks those separately.

Can you win a car for free?

Yes. Every paid UK prize draw has to offer a free entry route, normally by post, with the same chance as a paid ticket. Send your details and the competition name to the address in the operator's terms before its postal deadline. Our free postal entry addresses by operator saves you digging through each site's terms, and the free postal entry guide covers the rules.

Some sites also run free-to-enter draws online. Our reviews record them at Rev Comps, 7Days Performance, Dream Car Giveaways and Jammy, and Redline offers free draws through its apps.

Win a car or take the cash?

Many winners take the cash, so check the figure before you enter. Only 16 of our 55 car draws on 25 October stated one in the title; every 7Days and Click car draw instead advertised "+ £1,000" or "+ £2,000" on top of the car. If you'd struggle to insure the car, the cash figure is the prize you're really playing for, so ask before you buy if the page doesn't give one.

Which kind of car draw suits you

Pick the draw for its odds, not the car on the banner. Our reviews point to these specialists:

• Retro hot hatches: Redline, with Novas, Saxos and 300ZXs from 2p.
• Classic and older cars: Storm, where small caps often mean better odds than new supercars.
• Performance and prestige: 7Days Performance and Click.
• Tractors, plant and 4x4s: Lucky Day.
• Campervans and motorbikes: Aspire.

FAQ

What are the best car competitions in the UK?

On our ratings on 25 October 2026, 7Days Performance (4.7/5) is the top car competition site, followed by Dream Car Giveaways (4.6/5), then Click Competitions (4.5/5). For individual draws, browse our car competitions and compare the cost of a 1-in-1,000 chance, because odds vary far more between draws than between sites.

Is there a way to get free cars?

Yes, through a competition's free entry route. Every paid UK car competition must accept free entries, usually by post, with the same odds as a paid ticket. That's the honest answer to "is there a free car giveaway in 2026" too. Find the address and deadline in the operator's terms or our free postal entry by operator list. A few sites also run free-to-enter car draws online.

Is it worth entering car competitions?

Only as paid entertainment. On our board on 25 October 2026 the median car draw was capped at about 150,000 entries, and a 1-in-1,000 chance cost £72. Small-cap draws for classic or everyday cars give much better odds per pound than headline supercars.

Can I win a car competition in the UK online for free?

Yes, through the free postal route, which every paid UK prize draw must provide. A postal entry goes into the same draw with the same chance as a bought ticket.

Are car raffle sites a con?

The reputable ones aren't. A legitimate UK car competition offers a genuine free route or a real skill question, names its winners, and publishes its terms and company details. Five of the six sites in our table were on the government's list of voluntary Code signatories on 25 October 2026.

Do you pay tax if you win a car in a UK competition?

No. Prize-draw winnings, including cars and cash alternatives, aren't taxed as income in the UK. Running costs such as insurance are yours, and selling the car later is usually free of capital gains tax for private cars. See our guide to tax on prize draw winnings.

What's the cheapest way to enter car draws?

Free postal entry costs only a stamp. For paid entry, ignore the ticket price on its own and work out the cost of a 1-in-1,000 chance (ticket price × cap ÷ 1,000). On 25 October the cheapest open car draws on our board came in between about £14 and £38 on that measure, against a median of £72.
