# How to Add Vehicles to FiveM Server

# How to Add Vehicles to FiveM Server

This guide will run you through how to install addon vehicles to your FiveM server. Addon vehicles are a great way to customize your game by adding more variety to your FiveM server, and they are relatively easy to use.

||| Before setting up vehicles, you will want to add [vMenu](https://help.sparkedhost.com/en/article/how-to-install-vmenu-fivem-atwnpa/) to your FiveM server. vMenu is an easy-to-use menu application that lets you spawn cars in your game.

To start, make sure you have your vehicle's files downloaded to your local machine. For this tutorial, the vehicle we will be using is a 2018 Unmarked Tahoe Police Car. 

* A link to this vehicle is available [here](https://www.lcpdfr.com/downloads/gta5mods/vehiclemodels/41767-non-els-2018-unmarked-tahoe/).

* Extract the vehicle's zip file locally.

* You will now see the "Vehicle" folder, which you can rename to anything you like.

* Open the [Apollo Panel](https://control.sparkedhost.us/).

* Stop the server.

* In the **Files** tab, navigate to the `txData`

* Open the folder ending with **.base**

* Open the `resources` folder

* Create a new folder named `\[cars\]`

The [] stops your FiveM server from reading the folder's name and goes straight to the files inside it.

* Now, in your `\[cars\]` folder, upload the vehicle folder.

* Head back to the **.base** folder.

* Access the `server.cfg` file.

* Now, on a new line, add a comment `#cars`, and under it type `ensure <Your Vehicle Folder Name>`, for example, if the name is "vehicle," it will look like this.

* Hit **Save Content**.

## Configuring vMenu

* Stop the server.

* Head back to the **.base** folder and navigate to the following directory: `resources/\[apollo\]/config/addons.json`

* Locate the "addonvehiclename1"

* Replace "addonvehiclename1" with the name of the addon vehicle that we want to install. To find this. You can open the "stream" folder within your vehicle folder.
