Should you hire a driveaway service to drive your car or hire an auto transport company to relocate your vehicle?

That depends on your situation.

Why you should use an auto transport company

Auto transport companies work best when your vehicle delivery date is flexible and you have a backup plan just in case they never show up.

Auto transport companies can spare your vehicle added mileage because they are carrying your car instead of driving it.

Auto transport companies can be cheaper than hiring someone to drive your car because they can deliver multiple vehicles along the same route.

Why you shouldn’t use an auto transport company 

Auto transport companies are often hired by auto transport brokers who serve as middlemen which can lead to relationship and delivery issues.

Auto transport companies usually do not allow you to pack personal belongings inside your vehicle because of liability concerns.

Auto transport companies may not be able to deliver your vehicle on a specific date because your car is carried with other vehicle appointments.

Auto transport companies are required to observe rest periods and comply with highway inspection audits which can slow your delivery.

Auto transport companies are a standard commercialized service meaning you may not have a direct relationship with your transport driver.

Not all auto transport companies are bad and not all auto transport brokers are evil but finding a good one is most definitely challenging.
