You can get free cars in GTA 5 Online in two ways. The easier method is going onto your in-game mobile and checking out the dealerships. We discuss the top 9 cars you can get in your garage without spending a single dime through these dealerships.
The other way is to get your hands dirty and steal them off the street. However, you can’t store every vehicle you steal in the garage; that’s why we will be discussing the top 10 vehicles that you can own by stealing.
Free Cars From The Dealership
The common misconception is that anything free in the game is pretty lame. However, there are some really useful vehicles that you will end up using often. Apart from the performances, some of the cars have a visually appealing look and don’t look like something you would get for free.
Duke O’Death
Starting with my personal favorite and the most practical car on this list, the Duke O’Death. You can get this car inside your garage by heading to the Warstock Cache & Carry and getting it for free. This car used to have a price of $665,000 for new players. However, after 26th July 2021, this car was made free for everyone.
The Duke O’Death can only carry two players, and it has a cool-looking engine coming out of the hood. This car is based on the 1970 Dodge Charger, fully colored in Matte Black. The downside is that there isn’t a lot of customizing that can be done on this car.
Performance
The great price of $665,000 shows you how great of a car this is. It has a top speed of 114mph and amazing acceleration. The handling on this car is pretty decent compared to your other cars at a $600k price point.
In addition to that, the main feature of the Duke O’Death, which makes it such an essential vehicle to own for new players, is its durability and armor. Getting into a GTA 5 Online lobby can be tough if you don’t have a heavily armored vehicle. (Armored vehicles reference) This car can withstand an amazing 9 Homing Missiles and 3 RPG blows.
| Top Speed | 114mph |
| Dealership | Warstock Cache & Carry |
| Based on | 1970 Dodge Charger |
Vapid Pisswasser Dominator
The next free car in GTA 5 Online that you need to own is the Vapid Pisswasser Dominator. You can get this from The Southern San Andreas Super Autos website from your in-game mobile. This is a different version of the original Dominator, a famous muscle car in the game.
This car is available inside your garage in GTA 5 Story mode after winning the 3rd Stock car race. It also became available in GTA Online after the Cunning Stunts update in 2016. Initially, it was priced at $315,000 but was made completely free after July 2021.
Performance
The Vapid Pisswasser Dominator is a quicker version of the original Dominator, with better handling. Moreover, it is a great muscle car to own for races and roam in the city with style. In addition to that, the Vapid Pisswasser has a cool livery and a 2-person capacity.
Furthermore, the top speed of the Vapid Pisswasser Dominator is 126mph, which is the fastest Dominator muscle car in the game. Thanks to its lighter weight, it accelerates better than the Dominator. The handling, however, isn’t the best in the game.
The best part is that I wouldn’t mind spending much on getting this, yet it is a free car in GTA 5 Online. You only need one minute of your time grabbing it from the store.
| Top Speed | 126mph |
| Dealership | Southern San Andreas Super Autos |
| Based on | Ford Mustang |
Bravado Sprunk Buffalo
Another valuable muscle car on the list is the Sprunk Buffalo. You can get this from The Southern San Andreas Super Autos website from your in-game mobile. It is based on the real-life Dodge Charger.
This muscle car has four doors and a 4-person seating capacity. Many cars on the list have a 2-person capacity which may be a problem when playing with more than one friend. It has a cool and exclusive ‘Spunk’ Livery with a lively color scheme.
Performance
The Sprunk Buffalo can real top speed of 116mph, which is great compared to other muscle cars. In addition, it has decent acceleration and handling and can carry four people, making it an amazing getaway vehicle for heists.
It is quite similar to the original Buffalo S but better and more appealing. There is no reason not to get his car inside your garage.
| Top Speed | 116mph |
| Dealership | Southern San Andreas Super Autos |
| Based on | Dodge Charger |
Imponte Dukes
An underrated free car in GTA 5 Online is the Imponte Dukes, based on the 1968-1970 Dodge Challenger. You can get this car from the Southern San Andreas Super Autos website from your in-game mobile.
The Imponte Dukes is a car that one would get for other reasons rather than just racing. You can make Dom’s Dodge Charger from Fast and Furious by customizing it a little bit. In addition, OG players would know that this car was featured in GTA 4 and might want to reminisce on the old times.
Check out the Top 15 Fast and Furious cars you can build in GTA 5.
Performance
However, this muscle car isn’t the best in terms of its performance. It can only reach a top speed of 100mph, which is slow compared to other muscle cars. Due to its massive weight, the braking on this car is not great. It does have very soft suspensions, but that’s about it.
This is one of those cars which are more valuable than the performance they provide. Moreover, it’s completely free, so there’s no harm in getting this vintage car inside your garage.
| Top Speed | 100mph |
| Dealership | Southern San Andreas Super Autos |
| Based on | 1968-1970 Dodge Challenger |
Marshal Monster Truck
Another unique and must-have vehicle in the game is the Marshal Monster Truck. This is one of the three vehicles that are available for free in Warstock Cache & Carry. It had an original price of $500,000, but after 26th July 2021, it was free for all players.
This is based on the real-life 1975 Dodge Charger MK4 Monster Truck. It is a unique truck that has been in the game since 2014. It also has a nostalgic feeling since it was featured in GTA San Andreas.
Performance
The top speed the Marshal can achieve is 80mph, not bad for a 4,000kg truck. In addition, it has incredible acceleration, allowing it to reach its top speed in a matter of seconds. On the other hand, the handling isn’t the best, and it has a capacity of 2 players.
Furthermore, you even have the option to put on liveries of about 25 different countries. The downside is that there isn’t much you can do with a monster truck in the game since it cannot be used in races.
Even though that’s the case, it is still an entertaining vehicle to roam around with your friends and go over traffic without a hassle. It is a unique vehicle in the game, and I would highly recommend checking it out since it is free.
| Top Speed | 80mph |
| Dealership | Warstock Cache & Carry |
| Based on | 1975 Dodge Charger MK4 Monster Truck |
Annis Elegy RH8
For this vehicle, you must connect your game to your Social Club account if you play on PlayStation or Xbox. However, if you’re on PC, you are already connected to the Social Club and don’t need to do this extra step. You can get this car for free from the Legendary Motorsport dealership through your in-game mobile.
The Elegy RH8 is based on the real-life Nissan GTR R35. It is a lovely car with an amazing sports car body. You can customize it to any color or add any cool livery.
In addition to that, you can also turn this vehicle into the LG Retro Custom, but it will cost a bit of money. You can recreate Paul Walker’s Nissan Skyline from the famous Fast and Furious franchise by doing this—an iconic and nostalgic car for many players.
Performance
The Elegy RH8 is one of the best free racing cars you can get in GTA 5 Online. It has an impressive top speed of 120mph, with insanely good acceleration. It has all the features you want in a sports car and is the best for beginners.
Apart from that, it has an all-wheel drive configuration and great traction, which makes handling this car simply amazing. The only downside to this sports car would be its braking. However, thanks to the excellent handling, you don’t need to slow down that much while turning.
This is amongst the best free cars in GTA 5 Online for beginners. All you need is a garage to store this sports car and just a minute of your time to get it from the dealership.
| Top Speed | 120mph |
| Dealership | Legendary Motorsport |
| Based on | Nissan GTR R35 |
| Requirement | Connect Social Club Account |
Grotti Turismo R
You cannot have a best cars list without mentioning this beast, the Grotti Turismo R. It is one of the fastest cars on this list and in the game. It is based on the real-life McLaren P1 and was first featured in the game as a part of the 1.1 business update in 2014.
You can get this car from the Legendary Motorsport dealership through your in-game mobile. This car is free if you downloaded the game during the Epic Games free GTA sale or bought the Criminal Starter pack.
The normal price of this car is $500,000, which goes on to show its value, and getting it for free is no less than a miracle. It has a capacity of 2 players, as expected from a sports car.
Performance
The Grotti Turismo R is just short of being the fastest car in the game, with a top speed of 122mph. The acceleration on this car is one of the best, reaching 60mph in just 3 seconds. In addition to that, the handling is also on par with other super expensive sports cars.
The engine is the most advanced engine available in the game, and its noise is what racing fanboys love to hear. The engine can be easily damaged due to the hood coming off after a few collisions, especially at insanely high speeds.
| Top Speed | 122mph |
| Dealership | Legendary Motorsport |
| Based on | McLaren P1 |
| Requirement | Get from Epic Games Sale / Get Criminal Starter pack |
Burger Shot Stallion
Another underrated free car in GTA 5 Online is the Burger Shot Stallion. This is based on the real-life 1970 Plymouth Hemi Barracuda. The car was available after the Cunning Stunts updated and can be taken for free from the Southern San Andreas Super Autos website.
This is another great muscle car that you can own for absolutely free. Moreover, it has a 2-player capacity, like most cars on this list. In addition, it has a unique ‘Burger Shot’ racing livery that looks cool and bright.
Performance
This car is not slow by means and deserves more appreciation than it gets. It has a top speed of 113mph, which is insanely good compared to other muscle cars. This makes it amazing for races and also as a getaway vehicle.
The Burger Shot Stallion was initially priced at $72,000. However, after July 2021, it was free for all players. But I think this car was a great investment of $72,000, and getting it for free is a miracle.
| Top Speed | 113mph |
| Dealership | Southern San Andreas Super Autos |
| Based on | 1970 Plymouth Hemi Barracu |
Bravado Redwood Gauntlet
This is another free muscle car that you can get from the Southern San Andreas Super Autos website from your in-game mobile. The Redwood Gauntlet is one of the stock cars you can win in GTA 5 story mode, but it is free in GTA 5 Online.
It is based on the real-life Chevy Camaro and has similarities with the Dodge Challenger. This beautiful muscle car is worth checking out. With its red, white, and blue livery, the Redwood Gauntlet is a car you should have in your collection.
Performance
This isn’t the fastest muscle car on the list, with a top speed of 117mph after fully upgrading. However, it is still a responsive car with amazing handling and acceleration.
On the other hand, it cannot be compared with Duke O’Death or the Vapid Pisswasser, but it is still a great vehicle to roam around in and has a unique ‘Redwood Cigarettes’ racing livery. However, this version of the Gauntlet is still better than the original, with better braking and handling.
The Bravado Redwood Gauntlet is still a great option, and there is no reason for you not to get it since it is free.
| Top Speed | 117mph |
| Dealership | Southern San Andreas Super Autos |
| Based on | Chevy Camaro |
Stealing Them Off The Streets
In GTA 5 Online, you can practically steal any car you see roaming in the streets. However, you can’t store all of them in the garage, so you can’t ‘own’ all of them. Since you have limited space in the garage, we will tell you the top 10 free vehicles you can steal and store inside your garage.
Ubermacht Zion
The Zion is a beautiful two-seater car based on the real-life BMW 6 Series. You can find it on the streets of Los Santos or the San Andreas Super Autos website for $60,000. The car shape is pretty cool and doesn’t look like a car you could get for free.
The top speed that the Zion can achieve is 117mph, which is surprisingly fast. In addition to that, the handling of this car is one of the best in the game. You don’t even need to slow down while turning sharp edges.
In addition to the sleek design, the Zion is a perfect vehicle for driving around casually. You can also sell this car after stealing it for $6,000. So, the next time you see a Ubermacht Zion in the street, use the opportunity and get a free car.
| Based On | BMW 6 Series |
| Top Speed | 117mph |
| Price From Dealership | $60,000 |
| Selling Price | $6,000 |
Ocelot F620
You have probably seen this vehicle driving around the streets, and the next time you do, you should probably steal it and store it in your garage. The Ocelot F620 is an underrated car with an original price tag of $80,000 from the San Andreas Super Autos. And you can get it for free is worth looking into.
The Ocelot F630 is based on the real-life Jaguar XK and the Maserati GranTurismo. In my opinion, the shape of this car is very underrated, and the sleek look of this car is unique. If you don’t have this already, then be sure to grab one of the streets.
The performance of this car is also pretty decent, with a top speed of 118mph. Even though handling this car is disappointing, you can sell it for $8,000 and earn a quick buck. You can learn more about it in our guide on how to get money fast in GTA 5.
Another great feature of this car is the acceleration; it can go from 0-60mph in under 5 seconds. It is a sporty vehicle and a good choice for a getaway vehicle in heists when playing with one friend. That is because it is a 2-seater car.
| Based On | Jaguar XK / Maserati GranTurismo |
| Top Speed | 118mph |
| Price From Dealership | $80,000 |
| Selling Price | $8,000 |
Obey Rocoto
There aren’t a lot of SUVs on this list, but this one is too good to miss out on. The Obey Rocoto is a beautiful SUV based on the real-life Audi Q5. You can steal it for free from the streets or spend $85,000 in Southern San Andreas Super Autos.
The car is worth $85,000, thanks to its top speed of 107mph, a decent speed for a 2400kg SUV. Even though the handling and acceleration aren’t great, the car has a 4-player capacity, which is something most free cars in GTA 5 Online are lacking.
You can modify the car and sell it for $8,500 to make some quick money. It’s amongst the best free SUVs in the game and a cool car to own.
| Based On | Audi Q5 |
| Top Speed | 107mph |
| Price From Dealership | $85,000 |
| Selling Price | $8,500 |
Schyster Fusilade
One of the most underrated and overlooked cars on the list, the Schyster Fusilade is a great performing car. The real-life Chrysler Crossfire inspires great design. Moreover, the car is available in Southern San Andreas Super Autos for $36,000. Or you can get your hand dirty and steal it for free.
It is hard to believe that you can get a car that performs as well as this and is completely free. The top speed of this car is 118mph, an insanely good speed. The acceleration and handling are on point, and this car has nothing to dislike.
Furthermore, the great thing about the Schyster Fusilade is that it has every customization option available. You can modify the bumpers, hood, tires, exhaust, and skirts. You can transform this car into something unique according to your style.
On the other hand, you may steal the vehicle to sell it. However, the selling price is only $3,600, less than the other vehicles on the list. Nevertheless, this vehicle is an overlooked vehicle by many players and deserves more credit.
| Based On | Chrysler Crossfire |
| Top Speed | 118mph |
| Price From Dealership | $36,000 |
| Selling Price | $3,600 |
Imponte Phoenix
A great free muscle car to own inside your garage in GTA 5 Online is the Imponte Phoenix. The car is based on the real-life Chevy Camaro Pontiac Firebird (second generation). I believe it is one of the best-looking free cars in the game, but that is subjective.
You can check it out by getting one off the streets because it is unavailable in any dealership. This muscle car won’t win you any races, but it is still worth getting.
The performance of this muscle car isn’t something to brag about. Even though it has a decent top speed of 113mph, the handling and acceleration let it down. Nevertheless, it is a great-looking car with a satisfying engine noise.
You can sell it for just $2,000, but keeping it and showing up to car meets in this vehicle will be the way to go.
| Based On | Chevy Camaro Pontiac Firebird |
| Top Speed | 113mph |
| Price From Dealership | Not Available |
| Selling Price | $2,000 |
Sultan
Every experienced player knows about the Sultan, and it is an OG car that has been featured in GTA IV and GTA San Andreas. This classic car is based on the real-life Mitsubishi Lancer EVO VI and is one of the best free cars in GTA 5 Online that you can steal.
In addition to that, you can also buy the enhanced version of the car from Benny’s Original Motor Works website. This will cost you $12,000, but that isn’t a wise move since you can take it off the streets.
This 4 door Sedan also has amazing performance. It’s a great rally car, amazing at off-road driving, and has many customization options. So, you can’t hate anything about this car since it’s diverse and lets you personalize it.
The top speed of the Sultan you get from the streets is 116mph, a pretty decent speed. It has really good handling and is something you should choose will driving around with your friends.
On top of that, you can later spend some money on this to upgrade it to Sultan RS, which is worth investing in. That upgrade makes it into a two-door and improves everything else about this vehicle.
Even though you can get this free car in GTA 5 Online, it can be sold for a bit of money. You will get just $1,200 if you decide to sell it, not a lot when you compare it to other free cars in GTA 5 Online.
| Based On | Mitsubishi Lancer EVO VI |
| Top Speed | 116mph |
| Price From Dealership | $12,000 |
| Selling Price | $1,200 |
Gallivanter Baller
The Gallivanter Baller is another SUV you can steal and store in your garage. It is a very expensive-looking car based on the real-life Range Rover. The classic shape would make it hard to believe that this vehicle is completely free to get.
Furthermore, the Baller is worth $90,000 in the Southern San Andreas Super Autos. The $90k price shows just how valuable this car is, but you don’t have to spend that much on getting it. It is a 4-seater, so you and your friends can roam around the streets of Los Santos.
Even though it has a top speed of just 100mph with poor acceleration, it’s a great car to roam around and make people believe you have money to afford this expensive-looking car. Moreover, you can sell this vehicle for a surprising $9,000, making it a quick way to earn money.
| Based On | Range Rover |
| Top Speed | 100mph |
| Price From Dealership | $90,000 |
| Selling Price | $9,000 |
Lampadati Felon
Surprisingly, a car like the Felon can be stolen from the streets for free. It is based on the real-life Jaguar XF and has an in-game value of $90,000. It can be bought from the Southern San Andreas Super Autos dealership, but you could rather get it for free off the streets.
The great thing about the Lampadati Felon is its customization options. You can give this vehicle a more personal look by modifying the Hood, bumpers, side skirts, and spoilers. Its other variant, Felon GT, is also available from the streets but can’t be customized and is a convertible.
This vehicle ranks pretty high in performance compared to other free cars in GTA 5 Online. Thanks to its top speed of 114mph, great handling, and amazing crash durability, this vehicle is fantastic to own inside your garage.
In addition, it is a two-seater that you can sell to earn some quick money without much effort. It can be sold for a price of $9,000.
| Based On | Jaguar XF |
| Top Speed | 114mph |
| Price From Dealership | $90,000 |
| Selling Price | $9,000 |
Ubermacht Sentinel XS
The Sentinel XS is an amazing vehicle featured in GTA Vice City. It is another underrated free car made by Ubermacht and can be bought for $60,000 from Southern San Andreas Super Autos. However, stealing it from the streets is the better option.
The Sentinel XS is based on the real-life version of the MW M3 E92 and has a capacity of 4 players. In addition to its appealing looks, it is also a great performing vehicle with a top speed of 118mph. Handling is also a great feature.
On the other hand, the Sentinel XS is also a customizable car, with options to modify its hood, bumper, exhausts, skirts, spoilers, and basically anything you want. The car spawns in yellow, blue, and black colors, but you can change the color to whatever you want later.
This car can be compared to the Lampadati Felon in terms of performance and looks. It’s amazing for car meets after you’ve personalized the vehicle, and there is no reason why you shouldn’t get this.
However, if you want to sell this car after stealing it, it will make you $6,000 richer—an easy way to make money in your free time.
| Based On | MW M3 E92 |
| Top Speed | 118mph |
| Price From Dealership | $60,000 |
| Selling Price | $6,000 |
Canis Seminole
The last vehicle on the list is probably the most underrated, the Seminole. This vehicle is an OG vehicle and is based on the real-life Jeep Cherokee. This SUV can store up to 4 players and can be bought from San Andreas Super Autos for $30,000.
For its price, this SUV is amazing. And you don’t even have to pay $30k anymore since you can easily steal it off the streets. When fully upgraded, this car has a top speed of 98mph, and the handling is okay.
The great thing about the Seminole is that it is probably one of the best free vehicles for off-roading. It can climb vertical hills effortlessly and is a great choice for exploring Mount Chilliad or any hilly area. Check out this video by HarmNone where he goes off-road with this car.
Overall, the Canis Seminole is a great vehicle; you can sell it for $3,000. Which isn’t a lot, but don’t forget you stole this vehicle for free.
| Based On | Jeep Cherokee |
| Top Speed | 98mph |
| Price From Dealership | $30,000 |
| Selling Price | $3,000 |
Concluding Remarks
Some other free cars are available in GTA 5 Online if you got the game from the Epic Games sale. These cars include Grotti Turismo R, Huntley S, Invetero Coquette Classic, and Enus Windsor.
Whether you have money or not, you can still own cool, great-looking cars. Customize the car and make it into something that represents you. At the end of the day, choose the cars you like, not just those that are fast. Be sure to have fun with it. Read more:

I’ve been gaming since I got my PlayStation 2 back in 2008, playing all types of games from WWE, all to way to Naruto, you name it. When I’m not gaming, I’m either focusing on my Electrical Engineering degree or playing football. I absolutely LOVE multiplayer games; carrying my team is pretty fun 😉
