Car return / relocation services in the USA?
When people rent cars one-way, the car rental company needs to return the car. In countries such as Sweden, Norway, Australia, New Zealand, those cars are listed online and people can rent the car very cheaply or for free, provided that they move it from A to B within a specified time and don't make big detours. Is there any such service in the USA?
Best Answer
In the US these are typically known as driveaway services. Many allow for any licensed driver to participate, but some hire drivers and are not open for public participation.
A typical example of such a service requires that drivers deposit a small bond (security deposit) and, for foreign drivers, bring a copy of their driving record from their home country. The deposit is returned to you after you drop off the car at the destination.
A few examples of driveaway services I was able to find:
- Auto Driveaway (the largest such company in the US)
- Cars to Florida (specializes in Canada-Florida round trips)
- Bennett Driveaway (commercial vehicles and trucks)
- Canada DriveAway (Canada / USA vehicle relocation)

I know it seems too good to be true, but the way it works is that imoova.com contracts directly with traditional rental companies (car, campervan, RV and motorhome- all the brands you probably know already and see at the airport for example) that offer their customers one-way travel opportunities to desired locations.Return Your Leased Vehicle | Toyota Financial Services
