Yes. If you have new orders and too many cars for the people you have, you can hire someone to drive your car to your new duty station. One vetted driver picks it up at your door and drives it to your new home, while your family travels together.
Military families give up a lot. A cross-country drive in the second car shouldn’t have to be one more thing. And as a thank-you for your service, we offer a discount to all military.
The Part of a Military Move Nobody Talks About
New orders come, and suddenly everything moves at once. The house gets packed. The kids say goodbye to their friends. Someone has to report by a certain date, and someone has to figure out everything else.
Then comes the question every two-car family faces: who drives the second car?
Too often, the answer is a spouse driving alone across the country with the kids in the back seat and the dog on their lap. Or a service member who has to report early, leaving their family to follow behind in two cars. That’s days of driving, nights in hotels, and a lot of worry for everyone.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
How It Works When You Hire Someone to Drive Your Car to Your New Duty Station
- Tell us about your move. Share the pickup address, your new home or base, the vehicle, and your dates.
- Get your quote. Every trip is priced on its own. No flat rates, and no markup on fuel or flights.
- Meet your driver. You get your driver’s name and direct cell number before pickup.
- Hand over the keys. Your driver does a walk-around of the car with you.
- Travel together. Your family flies or drives one car together, and your second car shows up at your new home.
One driver handles your car from your old driveway to your new one. No brokers, no trailers, and no terminals. Learn more about our military vehicle moves.
Keep Your Family Together on Moving Day
Military families already spend enough time apart. When you hire a driver for the second car, nobody has to drive alone and nobody has to split up. Mom, Dad, and the kids can make the trip together, in one car, singing along to the same playlist.
And if your service member has to report early? The spouse who stays behind doesn’t have to make two trips or tackle a cross-country drive alone. We drive the second car, so they can focus on the kids, the house, and getting everyone settled.
Your Dog or Cat Can Come Too
Pets are family too, and moving is hard on them. Your dog or cat can ride along with your driver, in a familiar car that smells like home. No cargo hold and no strangers’ kennels. Learn more about our pet transport service.
Pack the Car With What Matters Most
Your car can arrive full. Pack the kids’ favorite things, the clothes you’ll need that first week, and the boxes you don’t want on the moving truck. There’s no extra fee for belongings packed inside your car.
That way, when you walk into your new home, the things that make it feel like home are already there.
Cars, Trucks, and Moving Trucks for Military Moves
We drive cars, SUVs, pickup trucks, and U-Haul or Penske rental trucks anywhere in the continental U.S., including to and from military installations. Some families have us drive the second car. Others have us drive the moving truck, so the whole family can travel together. See how it works when you hire someone to drive your U-Haul.
Why Not Just Ship the Car on a Truck?
Shipping your car with a trucking company often means a pickup window instead of a pickup day, your car sharing a trailer with others, and waiting while the truck makes other stops. When you’re working around a report date, that uncertainty is the last thing you need.
With a professional driver, you know who’s coming, when they’re coming, and how to reach them the whole way. It’s a car shipping alternative built around your schedule.
From One Veteran-Owned Company to Our Military Families
Professional Drivers is a veteran-owned company. We know what it’s like to get orders, pack up a life, and start over somewhere new. We know the stress of a report date and the weight of leaving people behind.
That’s why we treat every military move like we’d want our own family’s move treated: on time, with care, and with one driver you can count on.
- More than 40 years in business
