Yes. If you want your RV waiting for you at your winter spot without spending a week behind the wheel, you can hire someone to drive your RV there for you. You fly down, relax, and your RV pulls in ready for the season.
Whether you’re headed to Florida, Arizona, or the Texas Rio Grande Valley, here’s how hiring an RV driver works, and why so many snowbirds are skipping the long haul this year.
Why Snowbirds Hire Someone to Drive Their RV
Driving an RV is not like driving a car. It’s long, it’s heavy, and it gets pushed around by every gust of wind. Add a few thousand miles, and it wears you out fast.
Here’s what most RV owners tell us they’re done dealing with:
- Long days on the road. A trip from the Midwest or Northeast to Florida or Arizona can take the better part of a week in an RV.
- Bad weather up north. Snowbirds leave right when early snow, ice, and strong crosswinds start showing up.
- Mountain passes and big-city traffic. Steep grades and tight interchanges are no fun in a rig this size.
- Fuel stops and parking. Finding a station and a place to stop that fits an RV takes planning at every turn.
When you hire someone to drive your RV, all of that becomes someone else’s job. And that someone does this for a living.
How It Works When You Hire Someone to Drive Your RV
With Professional Drivers, it’s simple:
- Get your quote. Tell us where the RV is, where it’s going, and what’s coming along.
- Meet your driver. You get your driver’s name and direct cell number before the trip.
- Hand over the keys. Your driver does a walk-around with you at pickup.
- Fly ahead or ride along. Catch a quick flight south, or come along for the ride and skip the driving.
- Arrive and settle in. Your RV shows up at your park or campground, ready for the season.
One vetted driver handles your RV from pickup to arrival. No brokers, no terminals, and no handing your rig off to a stranger halfway there.
Can Someone Drive My RV and Tow My Car Behind It?
Yes. Lots of snowbirds want their car at the winter spot too, so they can run errands without unhooking the RV. Your driver can tow your car behind the RV, so both arrive together on one trip.
That means one driver, one trip, and both your home on wheels and your daily driver waiting for you. Planning to drive the RV yourself? See how we can bring your car separately in our snowbird car transport with RV travel guide.
Can My Dog or Cat Ride in the RV?
Yes. Your pet can ride along in the RV with your driver, so they arrive with your stuff and their own bed. No crates on a plane and no kennel for the week. Learn more about our pet transport service.
If you ride along, you take care of your own pet on the road, and there’s no pet charge.
Pack Your RV for the Whole Winter
Your RV can arrive fully loaded. Pack your clothes, your golf clubs, your kitchen, and everything else you need for the season. There’s no extra fee for the things you pack inside.
Then just fly down with a carry-on.

How Much Does It Cost to Hire Someone to Drive My RV?
Every RV trip is different, so anyone who gives you one flat price without asking questions is guessing. Your price depends on things like:
- The size of your RV. A camper van drives differently than a big motorhome.
- Whether we’re towing. Is your car coming along behind it?
- Who’s coming along. Is the dog riding with us? Are you?
- Where it’s going. Across a few states, or across the country?
That’s why every quote is built for your exact trip. Fuel, tolls, and your driver’s trip home are billed at actual cost. We never mark up expenses.
Hiring an RV Driver vs. Shipping Your RV
A motorhome is too big for most car carriers, so “shipping” an RV usually still means somebody drives it. The question is who. With a broker, you often don’t know who’s behind the wheel until pickup day.
With Professional Drivers, you know your driver from the start, and you can call them anytime during the trip. Read more about our RV transport service.

Book Your RV Driver Before the Rush
Snowbird season is the busiest time of year for RV trips, and drivers book up fast. The sooner you reach out, the better your chances of getting the pickup day you want. Many snowbirds book their spring trip home at the same time.
