About TrueCar Affiliate Program
TrueCar is a car pricing and buying platform that shows what others paid for the same vehicle in your area, helping buyers negotiate better deals at certified dealer partners. Their affiliate program pays $3-$10 per lead (not per sale) through CJ Affiliate. TrueCar's pay-per-lead model means you earn commissions without the customer needing to complete a purchase, just a price quote request. This lower barrier to conversion makes TrueCar one of the easier automotive affiliates to monetize.
This program is listed in Automotive. It is managed through the CJ Affiliate network. The commission model is flat.
