SelectDrive is accepting preliminary planning requests. Interstate for-hire dispatch will not occur unless and until required operating authority is active and the trip is otherwise approved. A future approved trip may start and end in the lower 48 and would identify the driver before pickup.
Request preliminary planning for a future approved driver to operate your car, pickup, or SUV from pickup to delivery. No interstate dispatch occurs while required authority is pending.
A pet that travels well may accompany the vehicle it belongs to only after advance disclosure and written approval in the trip agreement.
Ordinary belongings that fit safely below the window line may be accommodated after advance disclosure and written approval in the trip agreement.
3 or more days advance notice in a preliminary plan. Authority and trip approval still control.
Under 3 days notice uses a proposed 5% surcharge in planning. It does not override the authority gate.
The estimate prices each positioning leg as the cheaper feasible option between a round-trip drop-off and a flight plus ground transport.
The first two stages are available for planning. Deposit, confirmation, and dispatch must wait until required operating authority is active and the trip is otherwise approved.
Request a Preliminary PlanChat with Pilot or submit the quote form. Share your route, vehicle type, and preferred dates. Pilot calculates actual driving distance and returns an itemized price breakdown in under a minute.
You receive your quote with itemized driver pay, gas fuel where applicable, tolls, lodging, positioning travel, and insurance surcharge. EV charging is reconciled to documented actual cost. Review at your own pace. No obligation.
No interstate deposit or dispatch step proceeds until required operating authority is active and the vehicle, route, insurance, driver, and written terms are approved.
After the gate clears, the written agreement would identify the assigned driver, handoff details, route plan, and condition-documentation process.
For an approved dispatched trip, the agreement would control communications, private tracking, milestones, and direct updates.
For an approved trip, the signed agreement would control delivery, the condition record, and any remaining payment.
Plan a possible future approved trip in which you fly to Arizona, Florida, or another winter destination while an assigned driver operates your vehicle separately.
For a car bought out of state, plan how a future approved driver could collect it after the sale, documents, road readiness, and handoff process are verified. Start with the out-of-state purchase checklist.
During relocation planning, compare a future approved driveaway with driving yourself and authorized trailer transport.
Plan whether a future approved driveaway could move a student's operable vehicle to campus or home after the term.
A pet that travels well may accompany its vehicle after advance disclosure and written trip approval. This is part of delivering the vehicle, never a pet-only service.
Ordinary belongings may be approved when secured below the window line. SelectDrive does not provide household goods moving or standalone goods delivery.
Driving a big motorhome across the country is a lot. SelectDrive can prepare a preliminary plan for a compatible, driveable RV. No interstate dispatch occurs until required authority and trip approval are in place. See RV driveaway.
After confirming what your orders authorize, compare driveaway for an operable POV you are arranging privately within the lower 48. See the military PCS car transport guide.
A future approved driver could operate a road-ready classic or restomod on its own wheels. Because that adds road miles, a show or low-mileage collector car that should stay off the road is better on an enclosed carrier.
SelectDrive is planning a direct vehicle-driveaway model, not an open load-board marketplace. No interstate trip will dispatch until required operating authority is active and the trip is approved.
An approved future trip would identify the driver before pickup and would not use an anonymous open load-board handoff.
Pilot can build a quick planning estimate from the information provided. It can be wrong or out of date and does not authorize dispatch.
An approved future agreement would state whether private tracking is enabled and what location or milestone updates are provided.
An approved future agreement would state the pickup and delivery condition-record process.
Dan is the owner and current primary driver. Any approved driver must clear SelectDrive's motor-vehicle-record and background review before assignment.
For a future approved trip, SelectDrive would remain the contracting company and identify the assigned driver rather than use an anonymous load-board handoff.
No interstate deposit or dispatch step proceeds until required authority is active and the trip is approved. Future payment terms would be written before payment.
The planned model uses one contracting company, with no broker chain or anonymous load-board handoff.
Dan owns SelectDrive and remains the current primary driver and customer contact. A future approved trip would identify any assigned driver before pickup.
A future approved trip would name the assigned driver, whose approval requires MVR and background clearance. There would be no anonymous open-load-board assignment.
Dan remains the primary company contact, and trip questions can also go directly to the assigned driver after confirmation.
Three decades in elevated Fortune 100 hospitality means anticipating needs, communicating proactively, and treating your vehicle the way you'd want it treated.
Preliminary estimates use standard planning rates for requests with 3 or more days advance notice and a proposed 5% express line under 3 days. No interstate dispatch will occur unless and until required authority is active and the trip is approved.
Pilot uses a $450 per day driver-pay rate billed in half-day increments, with a one-day minimum. The estimate itemizes gas fuel where applicable, tolls, lodging, an 8 percent insurance surcharge on driver pay, and assigned-driver positioning travel. Electric charging is billed at documented actual cost with receipts. The result is preliminary, and no interstate trip proceeds until required authority is active and the trip is approved.
Yes. A driveaway driver operates the vehicle, so it needs to be running and driveable. If your vehicle isn't running, please call Dan directly at (833) 700-8364 to discuss options.
The published policy provides a full deposit refund at least 7 days before pickup, a discretionary refund between 48 hours and 7 days based on incurred costs, and forfeiture within 48 hours. Documented nonrefundable driver travel may be deducted as allowed by the trip agreement and applicable law. The written agreement controls.
Dan Ketelsen owns SelectDrive and is the planned primary driver and current customer contact. Any future approved booking would identify the driver before pickup; driver approval requires MVR and background clearance.
A pet that travels well may accompany the vehicle it belongs to, and ordinary belongings that fit safely below the window line may be accommodated, but both require advance disclosure and written approval in the trip agreement. Approval is separate from the price estimate and is never automatic. These accommodations are incidental to delivering the vehicle. SelectDrive does not offer household goods moving, standalone goods delivery, or standalone pet transport. No person may ever travel in the vehicle. Review the pets and belongings policy.
SelectDrive is based in Des Moines. A preliminary estimate itemizes positioning travel for a future assigned driver. Each leg uses the cheaper feasible option between a round-trip drop-off and a flight plus ground transport.
If a future trip is approved and tracking is enabled, the agreement would state what private location or milestone updates and condition documentation are included. A private tracking link should not be posted publicly.
Check the pricing page for planning rates, or chat with Pilot for a preliminary itemized estimate. It is free, creates no dispatch commitment, and remains subject to active required authority and trip approval.
