I am a driver for hire. I have been doing this since I retired December 2012.
I charge $10.00 an hour driving time based on Google maps. Anytime over an hour is considered an hour. For example if Google say its 20 hours and 5 minutes then my driving time is 21 hours. If I am getting gas or stuck in traffic then I am losing actual driving time.
You pay all expenses related to the trip.
Expenses are: Fuel which is an unknown cost
Meals:$50.00 per day
Motels: $100.00+/- per night
All plane, bus, lyft-uber, transportating cost
$60.00 for my wife to take me to the mode of transportation needed to pickup vehicle I will be driving. The $60.00 also cover picking me up on my return.
I put all expenses on my credit card with exception of plane tickets. I ask that you put them on your credit card.
You pay only what are on the receipts related to the trip.
I am in San Diego, CA.

Hello Forum Members,
I would like to drive someones car across the country from the Los Angeles area to the New York City area in late April. I would like to arrive near NYC on or around the 25th. I’m flexible on dates leaving and arriving. I’m an experienced driver in my 60s, non-smoker, and have driven across the country at least ten times, so I know the way. I would pay my own expenses except for gas, which could be negotiable. Best, KC

I’m looking for someone to drive my car from Phoenix to Washington DC at the end of May. Possibly moving a cat as well. I’m not wealthy, so I’m hoping there is someone who just needs a cheap way to get across country.
-
Hi Allison..if you are in need let me know. I do this for a profession. I have been in business 9 plus years and have many referrals if needed. Additionally, I carry liability insurance. Thanks and good luck.
-
What do you charge? It looks like I will fly with the cats somehow and have the rest of what I need in the car, so it would just be driving. Where are you located (that I would have to fly you out of any return to)? What are your expenses besides gas, i.e., meals, motels, etc? I’m trying to decide if I’m better off shipping the car, although then I can’t bring as much.
Thanks,
Alison

Hi Alison, my name is Mark Dougherty and I am a driver for hire. I charge $10.00 an hour driving time based on Google maps. It’s a 34 hour trip from Phoenix to DC. My driving cost is $340.00. I charge $60.00 for my wife to drive me to the airport and pick me up on my return. The driving for me and my wife is a flat rate of $400.00. I don’t charge for any wait time. I am in San Diego, so its a cheap flight from San Diego. As you mentioned about expenses, I try to keep it down. I put meals @ $50.00 per day, motels: $100.00+/- per night. Fuel, plane tickets are an unknown cost. I have doing driver for since 2012 when I retired. I put all expenses on my credit card with exception of plane tickets. I ask that you put them on your credit card. You pay only what is on the receipts. I am wondering how many cats you have and what kind of car you have. I was thinking that if you had enough room for your cats in the back seat and if you drove with me and if you need more storage space to rent a covered uhaul trailer and tow the trailer with your car. You will saving the cost of flying for yourself and the cats. Also to cut down on expenses we could share a two bed motel room. About me: married since Nov 1976, don’t smoke, no drugs except my prescriptions. My cell is 619-993-6577 email [email protected]

Need a private or corporate vehicle relocated?
There are two primary ways, Shipping or Driveaway.
– Shipping is an option with a lot of variables and questions, some of which you have no control over.
– Hiring a Driveaway service offers you more control as well as direct communication with the driver of your vehicle. Keep that in mind!If you are in need of relocating a vehcile, Don’t hesitate to ask for a quote. You only pay for my driving duties. All other expenses are “penny for penny”. I do not ask for any monies up front.
Tks

Hi everyone!
I am planning on traveling to Europe this summer at the end of June 2024 upon graduation and the tickets are significantly cheaper from New York City than Colorado. Does anyone need their car transported from DENVER to NEW YORK CITY? I am happy to drive it in exchange for gas money! Any type of car would work (even manual as the car I drive is stick shift). Ideally I would leave Denver June 16th-20th and arrive in NYC June 28th to July 2nd. I am somewhat flexible with the location as long as it’s not too far from Denver or NYC.I have 5 years of driving experience, a clean driving record, and have driven multiple cross-country journeys in the past. (My favorite trip was a drive from Denver to Miami last summer). I will be sharing the driving with a close friend who also has five years of driving experience and is coming with me on my trip. I plan on buying a one way ticket to Europe so I will most likely fly back.
Please feel free to contact me — my email is [email protected]. You can also find me on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/josephbleier/) if you’d like to get a better sense of who I am. Happy to chat on the phone/zoom once we’ve connected via email.
Look forward to hearing from you and thank you in advance for reading!
Best,

I recently was searching for someone to do a possible drive for me. I was looking to have a car transported from Indianapolis,In to Yorktown, Virginia. I was looking to get a car delivered to my family. Shortly after my inquiry, I was contacted by Dan Altman. He was quick & professional in his response & gave me a clear & concise estimate. And in addition, it seemed the estimate was a fair price too, when compared with other drivers. He answered all my questions with patience, which I appreciated, since I am new to needing this service. I found him very helpful.

Tks Jenn..just let me know when and I will update the estimate.

Washington State to Central Florida.
I own a heavy duty two wheel two dolly. I’m planning a road trip with the tow dolly and my Ford Expedition (5.4l v8), that can handle towing any vehicle that the tow dolly can handle. I am looking for someone needing their vehicle safely transported cross country at the going rate for the distance. Ideally picking up in the PNW and dropping off in central Florida but will also consider picking up and dropping off at two points in between, as long as the distance is far enough apart, to make the transport worth it. I don’t really want to set up more than one pickup and delivery as my goal is to get to Florida in as few days as possible. I made the trip a few years ago, transporting my 300zx and a bunch of heavy items in the Expedition, from Orlando to the Seattle area but now want to get the Expedition back to my brother in Florida. I also may be open to loading up the expedition, like I did on my last trip, for additional transport fee.
If interested, know that I used to be a professional 18 wheel driver with zero accidents in the 7 years I was on the road. I have zero points on my license and carry good insurance for my vehicle (your vehicle should have good insurance as well). I am a very safety conscious driver that keeps my vehicle in top shape with excellent tires and monitor tire pressure and other important checks multiple times a day. I drive with no music paying or phones in use, other than GPS, since I value my life and property just as much as other people’s lives and property. -
