    I hire myself out for driving people vehicles long distance from Point A to Point B I use Google maps to figure the driving time. To go from Boston to Sacramento according to Google maps it is a 45 hour trip. I charge $10 an hour driving so the driving cost is $450 plus expenses. Expenses are: meals, fuel, motels, plane tickets and $60 for my wife to drive me to the airport and pick me up on my return. I put meals at $40 per day, motels at $70+/- per night. I put all charges related to the trip on my credit card with the exception of the plane tickets, I ask that you purchase them on your credit card.I live in Lakeside, Ca which is in San Diego County. I would need a plane ticket from San Diego to Boston and from Sacramento to San Diego. I have never booked a rental truck either on line or in person or by phone. I have heard that it is cheaper on line and I also heard it is cheaper in person. You also want to make sure you get the right size vehicle for your move. I had two customers who did not rent the right size vehicle. One ended up having to rent a trailer and the other had to leave their mattress behind because the rear door did not close and they were towing a car carrier with a loaded vehicle. When renting a vehicle make sure you get full insurance. I had a blow out one time and I do not know how much the tire cost but I believe it was more expensive than the insurance cost.
    Here is a story that was done about me and other drivers like me:

    I also would recommend posting and looking on Boston Craigslist Rideshare and other cities near Boston on Craigslist like New York.

    Hello. Did you find a driver? I heard there are professional companies that do this. We are looking to move from Boston to Sacramento. Would love to get your input as we need to rent a van and hire a driver.

    Katie,

    My wife and I would be willing to do this for you. This would be a minimum one week trip and probably a few days more as we limit how mush we drive each day for safety sake.

    We could do the trip for a fee of $1050.00 plus reimbursement for gas and tolls and shuttle fee to airport if you can not take us at time of delivery.

    If you have any questions, please contact us.

    As of now, our July schedule is pretty open. We would need at least a 2 week notice before pickup to book fights at a lower fare.

    Thanks

    Karen,

    My wife and I can do this for a fee of $500.00 plus reimbursement for gas and tolls and shuttle fee to the airport if you can not take us at time of delivery.

    We would plan for pickup to be around 6/9 and delivered before 6/15 as of now. If you decide to have us do it, we can determine definite dates based on when lowest airfares are.

    Thanks

    Retired Couple will move (drive) your vehicle for you from one location to another (Minimum 400 miles) any where in USA. Will do it for cost reimbursement only (gas, tolls, lodging, flight, and shuttle fee to airport if you can not take us at time of delivery). No profit built in as we do this to be able to see the USA at limited cost. Have done numerous times before and have references available upon request.

    Just provide from where to where and earliest date available for pickup and latest date it can be delivered.
    Do not take people or animals along, only drive the vehicle for you.

    Vehicle must be insured and have proper paperwork to allow to be driven on highways as well as in good mechanical condition to make the trip.

    Send us the info along with your direct email and we will provide you a quote.

    Hi, I’m moving to Seattle in August 2020. I am looking to drive from either of the areas: Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, Indianapolis, Lexington, or Louisville. I’m willing to drive to Arizona or I can drive directly to Seattle. Either would be a great help to me and potentially you! I have 8+ years of driving experience and a clean record. I only ask for some space for a few boxes I have with my move. A friend will be joining me as well so that we can take turns driving for safety. Thank you.
