Grand Theft Auto 5 Online gives you several ways to earn money fast, but a popular glitch gives you one of the fastest get-rich-quick schemes through duplicating cars. This lasting glitch gives you a way to clone vehicles, which you can turn around and sell immediately. Doing this multiple times can help you build wealth ridiculously fast, giving you the cash you need to buy whatever you want.
While there have been multiple versions of the car duplication glitch, updates and patches for GTA 5 Online may erase one method before you can use it. The best ways to make money that don't involve glitches are still great ways to earn cash without having to rely on exploits. If cloning cars isn't working for you, you can always fall back on other reliable money-making strategies.
How The Car Duplication Glitch Works
Manipulate Missions And Personal Vehicles With The Right Setup
To get started with the car duplication glitch, you need the following things:
- Nightclub With At Least A Level 2 Garage
- The Car You Want To Clone
- Bunker w/Garage
- MOC With Vehicle Storage
- Mule Custom Truck
The two most important pieces to this puzzle are the Mule Custom vehicle and the Nightclub in GTA Online with a Level 2 Garage. The Mule can hold the vehicle you want to duplicate and has several properties that initiate the glitch itself. When you're ready, have the vehicle you want to clone in the MOC Vehicle Storage before entering a Bunker you have somewhere on your map.
Be careful doing any parts of the car duplication glitch, as manipulating the game systems one too many times may cause your account to get banned. Rockstar Games has stated that they would prefer players not to abuse glitches, so your account may face punishment for duplicating cars over and over.
From inside the Bunker, take the vehicle you have in the MOC and drive it out while keeping it inside the larger Bunker. From here, launch a Contact Mission from your phone and wait until you see "2/4 Players" in the bottom right corner of your screen. Try not to get pulled into a mission, as you will have to restart this process if you accidentally get into a job.

GTA Online has unveiled the brand new Lunar New Year event, which will offer players a multitude of races, discounts, and bonuses until February 12.
When the right message appears, go back onto your phone and go to "Quick Join" so it pulls you out of that mission search. Close your phone, then you should see a blue circle outside your MOC storage area while your personal vehicle icon is gone. If neither of these things appear, you may need to repeat the Contact Mission process to get the glitch to start working.
When you see the glitch actively working, follow these steps to duplicate the car you've chosen:
- Exit Your Bunker Without Calling For Your Personal Vehicle
- Go To Your Nightclub & Enter Through The Service Entrance
- Retrieve Mule Custom And Leave Nightclub With It
- Go Back To Bunker Without Calling For Personal Vehicle
- Enter Car You Want To Duplicate
- Drive Into MOC With Preferred Car
- Confirm To Replace Mule
The moment your Mule disappears after leaving the Nightclub, you'll know the glitch has worked. The moment you replace the Mule with your preferred car, it will clone that vehicle and cause two instances of it to be in separate locations. Don't worry about having to find the now-duplicated car in hidden locations around your map, as it will be in one of your storage areas used to implement the glitch.
Best Cars To Duplicate For Money
Use Expensive Vehicles That Are Easy To Store

As you may expect, duplicating the most expensive vehicles will help you earn the most money, as they will sell for the highest amount of cash. However, the nature of the Mule Custom truck needed for the glitch makes it easier to use compact cars that are smaller than others. The price of duplicated cars is determined by their upgrades, so the more potential a vehicle has reached, the more it will be worth.
The table below goes over the best cars you can duplicate for selling based on how much cash they sell for after being fully upgraded:

$1,089,000 |
Deathbike |

Some cars will be easier for the glitch, while others may struggle to cause it to work. Once you get one reliable car to duplicate consistently, use it exclusively to start earning ridiculous amounts of money in Grand Theft Auto 5 Online.
