Why driveaway

A better fit when direct service matters more than trailer logistics.

The tradeoff is honest: driveaway adds mileage. But many clients value the simpler scheduling, direct communication, and owner-led accountability enough that it is the better option.

  • No broker chain
  • No confusion about who is handling the vehicle
  • More personal than a typical shipping process

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about driveaway service.

Do I need to be home for pickup or delivery?

Not necessarily. Arrangements can be made for key exchange and vehicle access — we'll figure out what works best for your situation during the quoting process.

Can you drive any type of vehicle?

Select-Drive handles personal vehicles, sports cars, SUVs, trucks, and most standard passenger vehicles. If you have a specialty vehicle or unusual situation, just ask — I'll tell you honestly whether it's a fit.

Will my car gain mileage?

Yes. That is the honest tradeoff of driveaway versus enclosed or open carrier shipping. Many clients find it's worth it for the scheduling flexibility, direct communication, and personal accountability.

How far in advance do I need to book?

It varies by route and calendar availability. Express scheduling is available for tighter timelines — reach out with your route and dates and I'll tell you what's possible.
