Your car is often delivered close to you in GTA Online, but it gives other players on the server a chance to destroy it before you get to it. If you wish to spawn vehicles next to you in GTA Online, here’s all you need to know.

You can own several cars in GTA Online and store them in your garage. Thanks to the car delivery system in the game, your vehicle is just a few taps away if you’ve traveled to a new location far from where you last parked it.

However, if you want your vehicles spawning right next to you in GTA Online, we’ve got you covered with a quick trick below.

How to make a car spawn next to you in GTA Online

To spawn your vehicle next to you in GTA Online, simply look away from where you want it to appear, and it should spawn behind you. You can also switch to first-person mode and look at the floor.

Here’s what you need to do:

  1. Open the Interaction menu and scroll down to Request Personal Vehicle.
  2. Pick the vehicle you want to be delivered, and press Confirm.
  3. Immediately look away from where you want it to arrive, or stare at the ground in first-person mode.
  4. Wait a few seconds for the car to be delivered, turn around and it will be parked there for you.

If you don’t look away while requesting your vehicle in GTA 5, it will spawn near your location and you’ll have to make your way to it. Usually, this is fine, but if you’re surrounded by other players, they can easily blow your car up before you get close to it, leaving you stuck.

While this is a useful trick, you don’t need to do it for every vehicle. For example, the ultra-powerful Oppressor MK2 will automatically spawn right beside you if you request its delivery.

For vehicles that aren’t heavily armored or dangerous, this trick will give you a much better chance at survival if you’re under fire, and help you get out of trouble.
