Rather than looking initially at what to charge, I'd recommend seriously looking at what coverage you can give the sponsor and then basing the costings on this, which also gives you good selling points to the potential sponsors. This is what they are paying for after all, the opportunity to gain more business by advertising with you. Going along and saying "sponsor me and you get a sticker on the car" is very unappealing. You need to really sell to them what they will get in return in the form of potential business.
This is my experience anyway, HTH.

The selling side of it isn't an issue, I've got that done already
but you're right, you do need to detail that to them. So far I've found that mentioning social media seems to help a bit in discussions as well. The problem was I didn't know how to price it. But cheers tastyman
