Secret features in GTA Online that most players still don’t know about

GTA Online has been around for over a decade, but even seasoned players often miss out on some insane features that can make grinding for cash easier or just improve the overall experience. If you think you know everything about Los Santos, think again. Here are some underrated tricks hiding in plain sight!

Tired of trekking to the impound lot every time the cops seize your ride? If you own an Executive Office or Facility, just ring up your assistant. For $1,000, they’ll bring your car straight to you. No more breaking into police stations or running halfway across the map.
You know that assistant in your Executive Office or Facility? They’re not just for show. You can grab free snacks from them, which might not sound like a big deal—until you realize snacks restore health. Stock up before a big heist and thank yourself later.
If you’re still hugging the ground while flying, you’re doing it wrong. Airplanes in GTA Online pick up speed at higher altitudes, meaning you can travel across the map much faster. Next time you’re escaping a botched heist, take it to the clouds.
Believe it or not, off-road tires improve traction on ALL surfaces, not just dirt. If your supercar keeps slipping in the rain, slap on some off-road tires and enjoy better grip. Doesn’t look as flashy, but winning races > aesthetics.
Who needs a flying car when you can fast-travel via a taxi for just $500? If you own the Downtown Cab Co., you can call a cab and skip the entire ride, landing instantly at your destination. No Oppressor griefers, no waiting.

Some vehicles in GTA Online have a sneaky speed boost when you tap the brake lightly while accelerating. It doesn’t work on every car, but for the right ones, it adds an extra edge in races. Try it out and watch your competition eat dust.
Selling your inventory in a busy lobby? Here’s the cheat code: you get a 1% bonus per player in the session. That means if you’re offloading goods worth $1M in a 25-player lobby, you get an extra $250K—just for having company. And if there’s a double-money event? Even better.
Los Santos is full of hidden mechanics that can make your life a whole lot easier (or more profitable). So next time you log in, flex these secret features and watch your GTA Online game level up.
