Direct accountability
The person quoting the trip is the same person responsible for the drive and delivery.
About
Owner, driver, and your single point of contact.
Select-Drive is a personal, owner-operated driveaway service based in Des Moines, Iowa. Every trip is handled by one driver — me — with direct communication, a pre-trip inspection, and a professional background built around client care.
I’m a husband and father of two daughters, originally from Iowa and happy to have been back home for many years. I’m a professional musician and spent 30 years with a Fortune 100 company in an elevated hospitality role, where I maintained a perfect driving record.
Hospitality mindset
The service is shaped by decades of elevated client-facing work, not commodity logistics.
Trust-first approach
Professional, discreet, and built for clients who care about how the process feels.
Why clients choose Select-Drive
Grounded, careful, and easy to work with.
Clients are not just buying miles. They are trusting a real person with something important to them, and the process should reflect that from beginning to end.
- Clear communication before, during, and after the trip
- Professional composure and discretion
- A quieter, more premium experience than typical transport options
How it works
What the process looks like from start to finish.
1. Get a quote
Share the pickup city, destination, vehicle details, and preferred timing. I'll respond directly with a clear, route-specific quote — usually within a few hours.
2. Pre-trip inspection
Before the trip begins, I document the vehicle's condition with photos at pickup. You'll have a clear record of what I received and what I delivered.
3. Direct updates on the road
You'll hear from me during the trip — not from a call center. I'm the one driving, so I'm the one who can answer questions or provide status updates.
Coverage and care
Your vehicle is handled like it matters.
Every trip includes a pre- and post-drive vehicle inspection. Questions about insurance coverage during transport should be confirmed with your personal auto insurer — most policies cover driveaway service, but your agent can confirm specifics.
- Pre- and post-trip vehicle condition documentation
- Direct communication throughout the trip
- No subcontractors — I am the driver, every time
- Calm, professional handling of your vehicle at every stage
