    I plan on driving from southern California to the northeast (PA, MD, NY, NJ, DC). I am flexible with dates but would like to leave around October 5th. I originally planned to just buy a van and sell it at my final destination but a friend suggested trying this first. Clean record. No stranger to long roadtrips. Please let me know if something could work. If interested, my email is [email protected]

    Sooner or later it happens to all of us who drive a lot. This past I was driving from Mound City, MO to Salt Lake City to catch my flight back home on Friday. I left with my passenger (the owner of the car) and her dog. The trip for me started back in San Diego where I live I had to take a Red Eye to Detroit leaving at 10:15 pm on Tuesday arriving there at around 5:30 am and flying to Lexington, KY to meet up with the person I was driving for around 10:00 am. We took off and stopped for the night in Mound City for the night. I got up at 4:00 am and we hit the road and my plan was not stopping until we reached the destination of SLC. However we had to stop before making it to SLC because due to lack of sleep I drifted into the right lane and the left rear quarter panel touched the tractor trailer driver steer wheel and it did almost $5000.00 worth of damage. We were all lucky that no one was injured.
    If I am to drive someone else’s vehicle I will need them to cover me with their insurance. I also decided that I will be getting a full nights sleep from now on. None of us should be driving with out a full nights sleep. If it takes one more day to get from Point A to Point B to get us to the final destination then that’s what it has to be. I hope other drivers feel the same as I due. Let’s all of us get home to our families and friends like the way we left them.

      Hello! I am looking to drive someone’s car from Des Moines, IA to Los Angeles October 17-20. I will be transporting some of my own belongings (I moved from DSM to LA in July and didn’t bring everything) and one of my stops along the way will be to visit my daughter for her birthday! I can pay my expenses for the use of your car to transport my items. I have a great driving record and will be very mindful of keeping your car clean and safe. Email [email protected] if this would be helpful for someone.

    Hi there! My adult daughter and I are looking to drive from San Diego or Los Angeles area to Huntsville in November 19-25 in a larger car (SUV, Pickup, crossover); I moved during the pandemic to Huntsville (Will consider anywhere within 2-3 hours of Huntsville also) and am grabbing the few suitcases/boxes that remain in my storage unit in SD and stopping to see my sister in LA, so either city works as a starting point.

    My driving record is spotless and I am OCD about cleanliness, so your car will be kept spotless.

    You can reach me at (619) 352-0773 if interested.

    Best,

    Hi everyone!

    My name is Alex Campean and I’m from Romania. I’ve been in SF for the past 3 months and to end this summer’s experience I am planning on doing a roadtrip from CA to Utah. That is why I am willing to drop the car anywhere around this area.

    Last year I also got the opportunity of doing a 2 weeks cross country roadtrip, driving a car from this exact forum, from NYC to LA where we explored multiple National Parks and cities along the way. That is why I believe that I’d take good care of your car all while enjoying the
    trip.

    If you believe I could be of help please contact me via email [email protected] or text 6284687201

      Hello Michele. My name is Mark Dougherty and I am a driver for hire. I charge $10.00 driving time based on Google Maps. According to Google Maps it’s a 23 drive so my driving cost is $230.00 plus expenses.
      Expenses:
      Driving: $230.00
      Meals: $40.00+/- per day x 3=$120.00+/-
      Motels: $100.00+/- per night x 2=$200.00+/-
      Fuel: unknown cost
      Plane ticket from San Diego to Louisville, KY plus 1 checked bag
      Return ticket to San Diego from SLC plus 1 checked bag
      $60.00 for my wife to take me to the airport and pick me up on my return
      I have references
      The expense for the trip depends on you totally because you will be picking where we stay, where we eat and if you want to share a motel room. Also it will depend on what time the plane arrives in Louisville.
      This link will take you to a story that was written about me and other drivers like myself:

    I am a driver for hire that can personally drive your vehicle from any state from one location to another in a reasonable amount of time. Cars, moving trucks, busses, RV Mobile Homes, etc. I am a licensed Class B driver. I DO NOT SIGHTSEE WITH YOUR VEHICLE!

    If you are interested in my service please contact me at my email address below and please provide the following in your inquiry:

    – Zip codes for the departing and drop-off location
    – Vehicle make and model for the estimated fuel/toll costs
    – Estimated departing and arrival dates for the drive

    I will promptly respond with a reasonable quote. Please keep in mind that busses, RV campers, anything in tow, etc. would be slightly more than a standard car or SUV.

    I can provide strong references.

    Thank you,

        I saw your post and I am a driver who would drive your car from Chicago to LA. I use Google maps to determine my driving cost. I charge $10 an hour driving time based on Google maps. According to Google it’s a 29 hour drive from Chicago to LA. My driving cost is $290.00 plus expenses.
        Expenses:
        Driving: $290.00
        Meals: $40.00 per day x 3=$120.00+/-
        Motels: $100.00 per night x nights=$200.00+/-
        Might need plane ticket, it all depends when you need this done.
        $60.00 for my wife to take me to the airport and pick me up on my return
        Fuel: unknown cost not knowing what mileage your car gets
        If you are moving to LA and you are renting a truck I can drive that and tow your car.

        About might need a plane ticket, I am driving a car from San Jose to Grand Rapids, MI on Aug 29 arriving in Grand Rapids on September 1st flying home on September 2nd. I live in San Diego County, a couple hour drive from LA. I would need transportation from Grand Rapids to Chicago and from LA to my home in San Diego. If your need time is after September 1st then I would need a plane ticket to Chicago from San Diego plus one checked bag.

    Hi everyone!

    I am planning a road trip with 2 other friends starting Mid September until the first week of October.
    We want to pick up the car in the SF Bay Area and drop it off either in Utah (Salt Lake City or others), Nevada (Las Vegas or others), Arizona, or Colorado.

    This will be our second time making such a road trip with the help of this Platform as last year we took a car from NJ and dropped it off in San Diego, CA. Our road has been smooth with no problems or damages to the car so I believe that will be the case for this year too. We are very careful, patient and considerate people and drivers so I can assure you that your car will be in good hands.

    If you think we could help each other out, do not hesitate to reach out either via email or text. Can’t wait to hear back from you!
