    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!

      Thanks! Mike

    I come to US around end of April / start of May. I need to be in San Francisco around May 15th.
    I plan to do some travelling before that. It would be a nice experience to drive from west towards east. I arrive most likely to JFK, and then fly to Florida / Texas and preferably could start my journey from there, but other locations are negotiable too. And I am open to destination location, I can continue from there to California by plane.

    I am from Scandinavia/Europe I have had driving license for 35 years, driven 1 million kilometers / some 625000 miles and have clean record. I have driven in LA, Rome, Paris, London … I will not charge anything, petrol we can discuss. Main motivation for me is I get to drive as tourist a bit and you have your car delivered.

    As profession I am entrepreneur in software business and heading to AI conference in Santa Clara. Whatever insurences etc might be needed, I will get those.

    Hi, I’m looking for someone to drive my Subaru Outback 2012 from Northern California to Silver Spring, Maryland. You could have the car from May 1st to mid July 2023 and use it for your own cross country road-trip with a max of 3,500 miles. Willing to pay a stipend, but due to the flexibility of the arrangement, no hourly fee/wage.

    Hello,

    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
    (moving truck size if applicable)
    – Estimated departing and arrival dates for the drive

    I will promptly respond with a reasonable quote. Please keep in mind that moving trucks, 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!

    Thank you,

    JD

    Driver Available – March 11-18

    Hello!

    I am a middle school teacher who started doing auto driveaway on the side during the summer of last year. I had the privilege of doing a few jobs, the longest of which was from Connecticut to Las Vegas.

    For now, I am looking for a paid opportunity over my Spring Break from March 11-18. Since this is a limited window, I am willing to drive a distance of up to 1,500 miles (Mileage is very negotiable!) starting or ending ANYWHERE in the Lower 48.

    If this interests you or meets your needs, please reach out to me at [email protected]. I have experience and references that can vouch for my trustworthiness with your vehicle.

    I look forward to hearing from you!

    Sincerely,
    Zach Green

      Hi, this is Aviva Kramer! I have been wanted to go on a cross country road trip, but only one way. I live in Maryland but have a friend in Colorodo (Denver) so I would be able to drive my car there and leave it by her. I know you posted this a while ago, but I thought I should reach out anyway. I am willing to drive for free as it would benifit me as much as you 🙂
      let me know if you still need this…
