Adding new vehicles to your FiveM server can significantly enhance the gameplay experience. There are two main types of vehicles you can add: Addon vehicles and Replacement vehicles.
Addon Vehicles vs. Replacement Vehicles
Addon Vehicles: These do not replace any existing GTA 5 vehicles. They are recommended for adding multiple cars to your server without affecting the default vehicles.
Replacement Vehicles: These replace existing GTA 5 vehicles with new ones. While less common, some players prefer this method for specific purposes.
How to Add an Addon Vehicle
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Find and Download the Vehicle Pack
- Locate a vehicle or vehicle pack you wish to add (e.g., LSPD Mega Pack 229).
- Download the pack, ensuring you choose the latest ADDON version if given an option.
- Prepare Your Server Directory
- Decide where to place the vehicles in your server directory. A common practice is to use a

Why Use a [cars]
Folder?
Using a [cars]
folder simplifies server management. When you ensure a folder with brackets via server.cfg
, everything within that folder is automatically started on server startup. This method is more efficient and organized, especially when adding multiple vehicles.
Additional Notes
- Extra Files: Some vehicle packs may contain additional files. Always check the README.txt or README.md files within the downloaded zip for specific instructions.
