      I am looking for someone who can drive my daughters SUV from Vista, CA to Alabama sometime close to the end of February. I’ll pay $300 towards the gas. That way I can fly her home, she’s only 19 and I don’t want her driving alone.

        I think it’s going to be hard to find a person in the San Diego area looking to drive a car to Alabama. I do a lot of driving as a driver for hire. People pay all expenses which includes meals, motels, fuel, driving time, plane ticket back to San Diego and $60.00 for my wife to drive me to pick up the car in Vista and picking me up at the airport on my return. I have references. I am married, 75, white. I live in Lakeside. My cell is 619-993-6577 email [email protected].

    We’re moving from the San Francisco Bay Area in California to the East Coast and need a car to drive (we can end anywhere near Philadelphia or NYC areas).

    Hoping to start the trip on January 30th and hope to see sights during our month off. We’re a clean and respectful couple and will leave your car better than we found it! Willing to discuss timeline and paying a small fee for your generosity.

    Thank you!

    I’m a journalist looking to drive someone’s car from the San Francisco Bay Area to Washington, DC or nearby in mid- to late January. I’m heading to DC to teach at a university for a semester and would prefer to drive than to fly. I’m a very safe driver with a pristine driving record who would treat your car with care.

    Subject: Willing to Drive to Boca Raton/Fort Lauderdale/West Palm Beach This December

    Hello everyone!

    My name is Zach Green. I am a middle school teacher that started doing auto driveaway on the side over summer break. This past June and July I had the privilege of doing three long-distance jobs starting at three different points in the United States. While I plan to pick that back up again in late May/June of 2023, I am looking for a specific kind of job this December.

    This time, I am looking for someone who wants their vehicle driven to the Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, or West Palm Beach areas of Florida by December 20. I am willing to drive from anywhere in the United States within 1,500 miles of this destination beginning on December 18 or December 19.

    I have reasonable rates and experience with long distance drives. Past drives include Connecticut to Las Vegas and New Jersey to Oklahoma City. I have a clean driving record and references that can speak to my trustworthiness with your vehicle!

    If this fits your needs, please contact me at [email protected]!Thanks!

    Sincerely,
    Zach Green

      My sister is relocating from LA to Chgo. in February and I’m going to help her drive. Do you need a vehicle driven across country? We are both clean-driving-record reliable drivers and would treat your car with the utmost care and return it to you clean and in the same condition you left it.
      We are both in our 60s and drive a lot for work.

    Hi,

    I am a professional 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. Non-smoker.

    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.

    I DO NOT SIGHTSEE WITH YOUR VEHICLE!

    From Calif. Central Coast to NE Tennessee: My husband and I are retirees looking to drive someone’s car from the Central Coast of Calif. to somewhere near NE Tennessee (KY, VA, NC, etc.). We have a few boxes in Morro Bay from a former home that we need to bring home.

    We need motel accommodations and some gas, but no fee. Both of us have clean records and are responsible people who care for others’ things. We can check in with you as often as you like.

    Thanks,
    Janet and Mike

      Hello, I’m looking for someone to pick up my Toyota Highlander Hybrid with personal items in Charleston, WV and bring it to or near Albuquerque NM. Pick up would be in the next week or so. Any snowbirds looking to travel? There’s a bit of room for personal items but not much. Maybe a suitcase or two. There is also a tow hitch (7 or 4 pin if needed).

        Update! my delivery timeframe is a bit more flexible (up to 2-3 weeks but can be picked up sooner. I also have a tow behind rv that I rent out which is clean and vey light (all season Lance 1575) that is also located in the region 20 minutes away, if someone is looking for a travel vacation they could tow and use for free, sleeps 3. I was going to ship separately but my preference is to have both if possible. My Highlander Hybrid is currently parked in a long term lot and the camper is in storage.

        Hi Heather-

        I may be able to help. I just adopted a dog that I need to get from PA to Denver week of 11/7 or 11/14. Not sure if getting your car “most of the way” would prove helpful to you or not, but figured I’d offer. I’m guessing finding someone to drive the 4-5 hours from Denver to Albuquerque right before Thanksgiving would likely not be difficult.

        Depending on weather, I’d plan on 2-3 days to get to Denver. I’m 51 and have flawless driving record. Anyway, figured I’d offer in case this would be helpful. Feel free to respond with any questions.

        Have a great day!

        Hello Heather-

        I possibly could help. I just adopted a dog that I need to bring here to Denver from PA (week of 11/7 or 11/14). Would getting your car “almost there/closer” in Denver help? Not sure if it makes sense or not, but would guess many people headed to NM from CO over Thanksgiving that might be able to drive it the final way. I’m 52 and have flawless driving record. Would do the drive in 2-3 days depending on weather

        Understand if this is not helpful for your situation. Just figured I’d offer if helpful.

        Have a great day!

      Hey, I saw your post and I’m looking to transport our 4-Door Toyota Corolla from San Diego, CA to Somerville MA. It runs beautifully, is extremely reliable, and has a decent trunk, A/C etc. We’d be happy to take it to the dealer for a checkup before you leave to make sure you have a perfectly uneventful trip (at least from a mechanical point of view). Are you still looking for a car? Can you supply references and a copy of your driver’s license?

      Thanks in advance and I look forward to hearing from you.

    Hi,

    My wife and I are looking to drive from Northern Virginia/Washington DC area to San Diego or nearby anytime in September, October, November or early December. If you have a car or small RV/truck that needs moving I am your guy! I have recently retired (57 years old) and am looking for some adventure. Clean drivers license, can drive manual. You supply the vehicle and I will cover the gas. Pls contact me at [email protected].

    Thank you
