Dream Car Giveaways Review

Dream Car Giveaways not only offer you the chance to win a new car but other prizes such as cash, tech and houses. Select a competition, answer the question and enter the prize draw for the chance to win. Tickets cost from just 9p but a free entry route via post is also available should you wish to try that option. All draws are streamed live on Facebook using Google’s random number generator.

Dream Car Giveaways was established in 2018 by Petrolheads (Hickling and Andrews) who wanted to offer entrants the chance "to win a dream car at the fraction of the normal retail cost". As of June 2025 they say - on the homepage of their website - that they have given away prizes valued at over at £100million and raised nearly £120,000 for good causes. They also claim that they're "The UK’s No.1 Car Competition" as they boast and incredible 480,000 players. We're not sure which platform Dream Car Giveaways use but it definitely doesn't seem to be Wordpress or Zap Competitions leds. If anything it looks like a bespoke set-up. The site runs well on all devices plus there's an app available to download via Apple or Android stores.

Dream Car Giveaways Prizes

Back when we last checked in with Dream Car Giveaways they had cars on offer that included a BMW M3, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Urban Defender 90, Subaru Impreza, 2018 Mercedes Benz AMG and a Porsche Macan GTS. As of June 2025 the prize mix includes their first ever £1million prize pot which features a 4 Bedroom Worcestershire House. A Ford Ranger, E46 BMW, BMW M4, 2024 Audi Q3, Porsche GT4 with a 2024 Audi RS3, a Restored Renault 5 and a AVT Transporter 6.1 Camper all feature in the cars section. These are joined by a bunch of cash prizes, instant wins and tech goodies such as Lego, Nintendo Switch 2, Lay-z-Spa, Blue Fin Paddleboard and Apple gadgets. It's safe to say that there's a lot of giveaways here and a lot of choice too. Ticket prices are as low as 9p but you can spend up to £8.99. Look out too for a daily free prize draw that runs via the app.

How To Enter Dream Car Giveaways

To enter a draw at Dream Car Giveaways you need to choose a competition, answer a qualifying question and then complete payment. Make sure you get the answer correct because you're not guided to the right answer. For each draw that you enter you will earn Dream points. You get 1 point for every £1 played but need 100 points to get a £1 discount. In real terms that's a 1% loyalty bonus! At time of writing a 15% discount was automatically applied to purchases by first time customers (June 2025). Dream Car Giveaway does offer a free no purchase necessary entry option and these are shown on every prize draw page. Like a few other sites they apply the following to postal entries: "if a competition is priced at a lesser value than postage, multiple entries will be credited for each postal entry up to the value of second class postage".

Do People Win At Dream Car Giveaways

You can spend a lot of time scrolling through the winners page at Dream Car Giveaways. A bit of pagination wouldn't go amiss as there's a lot of winners! Details of the winner and winning ticket number are given on each photo. Recent prizes that have been awarded include a Toyota Supra, VW Tiguan, Audi TT Black Edition, VW Golf, Mercedes A35, AVT Transporter Camper, Twisted Defender and a Audi RS6. In terms of selecting winners, Dream Car Giveaways run live draws and automated draws. During the lives winners are picked using Google's Random Number Generator. Everything looks transparent and professional. The autodraws are done using a PHP script. It'd be useful if DCG flagged which draws were autodraws before clicking through to their pages or perhaps offered a way to show them in their own section as they do with instant wins.

Responsible Play & Other Reviews

As "The UK’s No.1 Car Competition" we'd have liked to have seen them leading the way in terms of responsible play but there is no obvious messaging whatsoever on the site. That's disappointing. Furthermore we can't see anything within the FAQs about account closures, monitoring spending, self exclusion etc. There are ticket limits on each prize draw but it is possible for example to buy 250 x £1.99 tickets to win a Subaru. On Trustpilot the site has almost 7500 reviews of which 93% are at the top 5* rating. Some of the latest reviews are from actual winners. The 1* reviews are mainly reviewers who are disappointed that they've not won or questioning DCG about transparency. The company - unlike many others - actually seem to take the time to reply which is good to see.

Our Verdict

With 350,000 followers on Facebook and over 100,000 on Instagram, Dream Car Giveaways are definitely one of the biggest pay to enter prize draw sites in The UK. We like their mix of cars, cash and tech and it's good to see a house competition pop up on a regular basis. There's a lot of transparency with respect to the draws although we're not big fans of autodraw and instant wins. The lack of responsible play messaging is not unexpected but we'd like to see it and see the big brands leading the way. Another - albeit minor point - is that we did contact Dream Car Giveaways back in January but no one replied to our question which was disappointing. That said there's a lot to like with this set up including the no purchased necessary terms.
