Do you need your loaded car driven somewhere for you? Cape Cod, Carolinas, Florida, New England, or more distant . . .
or brought back?
WE TRANSPORT CARS.

As shown in the pictures, we can be asked to drive a car in all directions. While many like to stay un-frozen, others want to be near a ski resort, lake, or family - wherever they are, at various times during the year. The driver lives in the Philadelphia suburbs, so any plan is round trip to his home base.

This button takes you to our Florida Page. See the rough budget and plan that has worked for others.
SAMPLE Rides are examples of completed rides for our customers.

If you, or your family members want to pack the car with your things, and have someone drive it to your summer or winter home, Main Line Driver is available to do that for you. We can take the vacationers along or drive the loaded car alone. If you want to get to your winter or summer home and stay out of an airport, or plane, we do that too. Pets who ride well in a car, with a stranger, without messing, could go along with us.

We've taken cars to summer or winter homes deep into the woods.
We accept Cash, Checks, VENMO and Zelle for payment in $US

We have also been asked to go get a used car the owner has purchased elsewhere to bring it to the new home. Again, we need lead time to find a hole on our calendar to give you the days to do that. Then between you and the seller, you need to have all the papers organized, current insurance which is the coverage for my driving, and fees paid.

Sometimes the driver can come home by Amtrak, and we can drop you at a ferry dock, to go to your favorite island.

HOW THIS WORKS: Main Line Driver comes to your location, and drives your car to the place you will live for weeks or months. When we get to the final destination, we turn the car over to you or your family and expect any final payment, (although some give us more than enough at the start, and we give them an accounting, and deal with any left over amount after we get home.) Then you drop us at our return flight or train. (On both ends of a trip that can be next morning as the schedule requires.) At the end of your stay away, we can come back and take the car back to the other home.

DETAILS: LEAD TIME IS A MUST. Our calendar fills, and we must find a hole of (usually) multiple days where a ride like this fits. I wouldn't be set on a day or two before I can fit it into the schedule. We can get the car from house to house, or if planning works out, you could get off a plane near your away home on a day the car could be there. Driver gets out and you finish the drive home, while driver flies off home. It is your car insurance that covers the ride. We only touch your things if they rattle as we drive, or if you packed tightly behind the driver seat so 6' driver can't move that seat, or we can't see out. We don't take guns or illegal items along, and in the contract you promise we are clear. It is your job to be sure the car is mechanically able to do the drive. While we are based in the Philadelphia area, we will consider ANY start and delivery location in the US. When that includes two airfares, in the budget, you understand.

You can reasonably pack your car with your stuff and we will drive your car off.
Have a good dog? Nice, healthy pets could ride with us.

HAVE A GOOD DOG OR CAT?

They can ride along as well, so long as they are able to be inside a car or motel without messing. Anti-social, old, or medically unstable animals we can discuss, but likely one of the owners rides along and handles their pet. When planned, we can stop every couple hours to give good dogs a walk.

PRICING: These are custom priced based on the plan. Car owner is responsible to cover the driver's and car's costs for: gas, and tolls, and driver's meals, motels, taxis, and return travel method, in addition to the driving fee which will be agreed to in advance. The cost of the ride continues from the time we leave our home base, to driver's return, so airport meals and motel and airport transport, if needed before or after our drive, still need to be paid for by the family we are helping. Payment is cash, check, Venmo or Zelle. There will be a contract and deposit. Please read through the Florida Info page to get a better idea of the elements in the price.


RIDE IN OUR CAR TOO: We are also getting calls to take people out three to six hours to drop off using our Volvo V-90 all-wheel drive wagon. This is also an option. Have a look at our Regional page. Give us your details and we will work up a custom quotation for your needs.

We've taken riders and car to the Outer Banks NC.
