    Hi, my partner and I are relocating from Virginia to Seattle via a stop in San Diego. We will be leaving mid/late June and arriving to Seattle by July 15th. We both have clean driving records.

    Please reach out to [email protected] if you need a car relocation from the mid-atlantic to anywhere on the west coast in that time frame and we can work something out!

    Hello,

    My husband and I are seeking to drive your car from the San Francisco Bay Area to the Dallas-Fort Worth Area starting June 21st. We need to transport a delicate piece of Japanese furniture which will be well wrapped to protect both it and your vehicle interior. Please write to [email protected] if this could help you. We both have clean driving records and are careful drivers. My husband has done some professional driving in recent years as well as taxi and truck earlier. I drove a driveway from NYC to Chicago.

    Thanks!

    Driver Available in Late May/Early June – ANYWHERE to ANYWHERE in the Lower 48

    Hello, everyone!

    I am a teacher who did auto driveaway on the side last summer. I had the privilege of doing a few jobs, including a drive from Connecticut to Las Vegas and New Jersey to Oklahoma City. I am now hoping to get back on the road again this summer. I am very comfortable with long drives and have references from past jobs that will vouch for my trustworthiness.

    Currently, my availability is Memorial Day through the first half of June. It is very possible that my availability will extend, however. If that happens, I will post an update on this forum.

    If this sounds like something that would be helpful to you, please email me at [email protected]. If you would like, you may also send me the year, make, and model of your vehicle, as well as the zip code or city (preferably zip code) of your desired beginning and end points so that I can give you a cost estimate.

    I look forward to hearing from some of you soon!

      We were negotiating w Zach on an x-c car move, but we decided to keep the car where it is. Zach was responsive and provided a detailed estimate and fair price. Would not hesitate to use him in the future.

    Hello, we have a 1999 Class B Campervan Pleasureway Excel-wide body (19′-7″ long, 8’8″ high, 7′-1″ wide, 8700n lbs) that is in need of an RV tune-up and has been dormant in a driveway for about a year and a half in Sacramento CA. We put a lot of cash into tuning up the Chassis (Dodge Ram V6) in 2021 but it could use some fixing for the RV accessories It was used to commute and sleep/travel in for about 7 months in Norcal in 2021. Would like to bring it back home to MA this month if possible. Please let me know if you are interested in driving it XC. Has about 150,000 miles on it. Please let me know if you are interested in driving it and taking it for a road trip, we did MA to CA in 2018 and it was a blast. Thanks, Miriam @catastropheoftwo on instagram to see photos. Email [email protected] with subject Roadtrip CA to MA to discuss. Here is the link, we have the Excel RL wide body and the sofa is the bed.

    Hi there.
    I am a 23 y/o just finishing a graduate degree at Columbia University in New York and am looking to do a road trip over the summer with my friend. Both of us have full licenses and years of driving experience. She is a social worker and I am a writer. We would be looking to leave New York or any neighboring states and cities at the end of May to get to California sometime by mid to late June. We are then looking to drive up the West Coast to Seattle before doing a quicker drive back to New York. If anyone is looking for someone to drive their car for any potential routes along the way, we’d be a great fit! e.g. New York or neighboring states to California, California to Seattle or California back to the East Coast or any assortment of states and cities in between.

    We are not looking for payment (not even for gas) as we see this as mutually beneficial.

    Please email me at: [email protected] if you think this would be a good fit!

      I may be able to help you. We could work out a few details so that it’s a fit for me. I would want to take some boxes from storage I have in San Rafael CA and drop them off in Tinley Park on my way. Would your car be empty and would that be OK? I think I could fit them in the back fairly easily. Best Regards! Tony [email protected]

      Hello George
      My name is Mark Dougherty and I am a driver for hire in San Diego, CA. I use Google maps to determine the driving cost. Google says its forty-three hour drive. I charge $10.00 an hour so my driving cost is $430.00 plus expenses.
      Expenses:
      Meals: $50.00 per day x 6= $300.00+/-
      Motels: $100.00+/- per night x 5=$500.00+/-
      Plane ticket to White Plains plus one checked bag.
      Return plane ticket to San Diego from Berkeley to San Diego plus one checked bag
      Fuel cost unknown
      $60.00 for my wife to take to the airport and pick me up on my return.
      The six day trip is due to 1st day flying from San Diego to White Plains which is an eight hour flight that has an 1 1/2 hour layover in Chicago for example departs 6:25 am arrives White Plains 5:22 pm $193.00 not including checked bag on May 9th.
      Return plane ticket on Southwest May 15th for $89.00 non-stop, several flights at this price.
      I put all expenses on my credit card with exception of the plane tickets, I ask that you put them on your credit card.
      I have references. The dates for the plane tickets are for example only however I am available for those dates.
      I ask for two receipts for all purchases related to the flight. One for your records and one for my records. You pay only what are on the receipts. I do not ask for any upfront money.
      This link will take you to a story that was written about me and other drivers like myself:

    Hi All,

    My wife and I were asking ourselves the same questions a year ago when we made our move from Texas to California. We were able to hire a moving company to handle moving all of our household items, but ran into the question, how are we going to get our two cars to California? We could have both driven each car the 1600+ mile trip, added the expense of lodging, fuel, etc and not to mention the wear and tear/miles that would be placed on our cars and would have had to drive for two days straight. We also looked into a vehicle drive away service (cant remember the name) but found it was quite expensive and we were still going to put the wear/tear on the vehicles. We wanted to be in CA when the moving truck arrived as we were on a tight schedule to try and get our new house put together before we had to return to work. We looked into a couple of different shipping companies that transport vehicles by trailer and were surprised that it really was not going to break the bank to have them shipped and there would be no additional wear and tear accrued to our cars. We ended up booking with Freedom Transport Service https://www.freedomtransportservice.com/, and it was a great experience. I believe we paid right around $1400 for both vehicles shipped. They were extremely communicative and prompt. Both vehicles were picked up and delivered on time. We will also be using them soon to ship our daughters vehicle off to college. Hope this helps!

    I’m looking to drive from San Francisco to Minneapolis starting sometime in early July until late July. I could also continue on to the east coast if needed. I’ve got a clean record and I’ve driven across the US before. I’m willing to drive for free, but you’d just need to pay for gas. Let me know if you’re interested! You can reach me at [email protected].

    I have a vehicle in Gainesville, Florida that I need to drive to Seattle. Flexible dates.
    My goal is to help someone who needs a vehicle moved from Seattle to anywhere that lands me closer to Florida so I can retrieve my vehicle and drive it back here to Seatlle.

    If anyone has a need for a vehicle to be driven anywhere between Seattle and Florida, flexible dates…I would love to partner with you. I am a Washington state licensed driver with no infractions.
    Please contact me at [email protected] to discuss details. Hope to hear from you!
