Pros and cons of hiring a professional driveaway service for your vehicle

Even though many people will choose auto transport services to drive their vehicle to another state, some people hire a professional driver to move their cars. This is called a driveaway service, where you hire a professional self-employed or a company driver to move your car across state lines. The driver will drive your car thousands of miles in a few days for a safe delivery.

The driver will inspect your car for prior damages, and sign a contract with you to make sure you are getting the correct service. They usually can deliver the car to a specific destination that you choose, since they are not moving multiple cars at once like auto transport companies.

Pros of hiring a professional driver

Again, the driver can drive your vehicle to where you want it to be delivered. If you are taking a plane to the destination state, you can drop off your car at the airport and have the driver retrieve the car at the airport. 

Another benefit of hiring a driver is that your car can transport a pet for you. You can also pack your car with cargo, such as furniture or other belongings. Some professional drivers drive moving trucks, and your car can be transported with your cargo.

Hiring professional drivers also feels more personal, and you can contact them directly or the company in case of emergencies. The services are also insured by the company that employs the professional drivers, so you can rest assured when you are having your car delivered.

Cons of hiring a professional driver

When you hire a professional driver, you are risking your car of being damaged or worn. Accidents happen out of nowhere everyday, and there is no guarantee that your car will be in perfect shape after the drive.

There are potholes, rocks, gravel, rain, snow, hail, car parts that are on freeways, and these can damage your car if they happen to fly at your vehicle.

Even though the professional drivers have many years of experience and will treat your car with the finest service, there is still accidental risk on the road.

Especially if your vehicle is an old car and is already pretty worn, the car can go through more wear and tear that can breakdown on the road. 

The insurance should be updated especially during harsh weather, and the registration should be updated also.

Some final words...

Professional drivers are often cheaper and is safe to hire for your vehicle. Sending a moving van with your valuables is a cheaper option because you can have multiple things transported all at once. 

Make sure you decide which route you want to take, because transport services will guarantee more across the state insurance, and sometimes will be the same price as hiring a driver.
