Best Cars for Traveling Salespeople

Good picks for those who have to drive to meet their clients

Businesswoman in a parked car using her phone

Even as more of the world meets electronically, there are still those salespeople who need to be out and about, and be seen as they do it. We’re thinking real estate agents, financial planners, contractors, insurance adjustors—really, anyone who might drop by someone’s house for a discussion or who might carry a client in his or her car.

Automobiles are especially important for real estate agents. “Car expense is the largest expense real estate agents have,” says Quintin Simmons, a spokesman for the National Association of Realtors.

And those agents may have different impressions that they’re hoping to make with their choice of car, Simmons says—and they don’t walk in lockstep. “Decisions real estate agents make regarding their personal and professional image, like all things in real estate, depend on local markets and personal preferences,” he says. Some may want to signal that they're frugal by driving an economical car, and others may want their car to show off their success.

Because of that, we’ve compiled lists of suggested cars, SUVs, and luxury vehicles based on certain criteria: All of these had to have earned a CR recommendation, meaning that they have a high Overall Score in their category; they must have good front-seat access, comfortable front seats, easy-to-use controls, a comfortable ride, and a quiet cabin; and they get decent fuel economy.

They also need to have standard Android Auto or Apple CarPlay to reduce the driver’s need to mess around with his phone, because he will be getting and making countless calls while he's on the road.

Each vehicle has a score that reflects how well it does based on our traveling salespeople criteria.

Here are the top five selections in each group.

  • From Other Sources : We may receive information about you from other sources and may combine that information with the other information we collect or receive about you.

We may also receive information from partners and service providers, including partners and service providers that provide us information that is publicly or commercially available. We may match the information we collect about you through the CAP Site with information collected from other parties in order to enhance our ability to serve you, to tailor our content to you and/or to offer you opportunities to purchase products or services that we believe may be of interest to you.

During at least the past 12 months, we have disclosed your Personal Information outlined in the table above to the following categories of entities:

  • Participating Dealerships and Vehicle Manufacturers : We disclose personal identifiers, general location information, and commercial information to participating dealerships and/or vehicle manufacturers so that they can provide you with incentives, promotional materials, and other materials that you request or that we think might be of interest to you. We share inferences with participating dealerships for the same purposes. For example, we may share your name, physical address, email address, phone number and requested vehicle information (such as make, model and vehicle features) with a participating dealership to help you with the purchase of your vehicle. However, CAP is not responsible for the privacy practices of these participating dealerships and/or vehicle manufacturers, which may use information about you for their own purposes.

While on the CAP Site, you may also have the opportunity to opt-in to receive information and/or marketing incentives from someone else or to otherwise consent to the disclosure of information about you to a third party. If you agree to have your Personal Information disclosed to a third party you will be subject to the privacy policy and business practices of that third party. We are not responsible for any additional information you provide directly to these parties, and we encourage you to become familiar with their privacy practices and policies before disclosing information to them. We may also disclose or make available information with or to social media platforms, advertising networks, and ad tech companies.

To the extent provided for under the applicable laws, you may have the right to:

  • Access and Disclosure : You can request, up to two times every 12 months, that we disclose to you the categories of Personal Information we collected about you, the categories of sources from which we collected the Personal Information, the categories of Personal Information we sold or disclosed, the business or commercial purposes for collecting, selling, or sharing your Personal Information, the categories of third parties with whom we shared the Personal Information, and the specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you.
  • Delete and Correction of Your Personal Information : You may request that we delete certain records that contain Personal Information we have collected about you. This right is not absolute, and we may deny certain deletion requests in whole or in part based upon our record keeping practices and legal rights and obligations. We are under no obligation to store such Personal Information indefinitely and disclaim any liability arising out of, or related to, the destruction of such Personal Information.
  • How to Submit a Request : You can exercise the rights above by submitting a Data Request Form or by calling 877-722-4559. We may deny certain requests, or fulfill a request only in part, based on our legal rights and obligations. For example, we may retain Personal Information as permitted by law, such as for tax or other record-keeping purposes. Please note that in order to protect your personal information, you will be asked to provide information to match our records and verify your identity. If we are unable to match your information, we will not be able to process your request.
  • Your Privacy Choices (Opt-out of Targeted Advertising) : To request that we not sell or share your Personal Information as described in the “Notice at Collection” section above, click Your Privacy Choices on the CAP Site or call us at 877-722-4559.
  • Opt-Out Preference Signals/Global Privacy Control : You can submit a request to opt-out of the selling and sharing of Personal Information about you through an opt-out preference signal. If you use an opt-out preference signal, we will apply the opt-out to the device or browser which sends the opt-out preference signal and to any consumer profile associated with that browser or device, including pseudonymous profiles. You can use an opt-out preference signal by downloading a supported browser or extension. If known, we will also treat the opt-out preference signal as a valid request to opt-out of the sale/selling for the user. Some web browsers may give you the ability to enable a “do not track” setting, an older request to block tracking of users by third parties. We may not take action in response to these older signals.
  • California Shine the Light Request - If you are a California resident, in addition to any rights and choices described in this Privacy Policy, you have the right to ask us once each year if we have shared Personal Information with third parties for their own marketing purposes. To make a request, please send us an email at [email protected] . Please mark your inquiries “California Shine the Light Request.”
  • Sensitive Personal Information : We do not collect, use, or disclose Sensitive Personal Information.
  • Financial Incentives : We may collect Personal Information, like personal identifiers, online identifiers, and commercial information, in connection with a financial incentive, such as a rebate, discount, special pricing or other promotional offer. Our offers and incentives generally reflect the value of the relationships that we have with the individuals who participate in these programs. Participation in these programs is voluntary and you may withdraw at any time by electing not to participate or contacting us using the information in the “Contact Us” section of this Privacy Policy.
  • Users Under 16 : Note that CAP is not intended for users under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under the age of 16. Please see our section on Minor Children below for more information.

B. Promotional Communications and Newsletters

You may unsubscribe from certain email communications by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link provided at the bottom of an email sent to you by CAP. Please note that we reserve the right to send you certain communications relating to your use of the CAP Site and these transactional messages may be unaffected if you choose to opt-out from marketing communications.

C. Tracking Technologies

  • Cookies : Depending on the configuration options offered by the operating system, web browser, and other software on your Device, you may be able to decide if and how your Device will accept a cookie by configuring your preferences or options in your Device or web browser. If you choose to refuse, disable, or delete these technologies, some of the functionality of the CAP Site may no longer be available to you.
  • Interest-Based / Targeted advertising : CAP may use third-party network advertisers to serve advertisements and third-party analytics vendors to evaluate and provide us with information about the use of the CAP Site and viewing of our content. Ad network providers, the advertisers, the sponsors, and/or analytics service providers may set and access their own cookies, pixel tags and similar technologies on your Device, and they may otherwise collect or have access to information about you. On occasion, we and our network advertisers may target advertisements for products and services in which you might be interested based on your visits to both the CAP Site and other websites. We may use a variety of companies to serve advertisements. If you do not want to receive the benefits of targeted advertising, you may opt out of some network advertising programs that use information about you by visiting: the NAI Opt-Out Page and the DAA Opt-Out Page . Please note that even if you choose to remove information about you (opt-out), you will still see advertisements while you’re browsing online, including advertisements that are relevant to the content of the webpage or application page on which they are displayed and advertisements that are relevant to your current location. However, the advertisements you see may be less relevant to you and your interests. Additionally, many network advertising programs allow you to view and manage the interest categories they have compiled from your online browsing activities. These interest categories help determine the types of targeted advertisements you may receive. The NAI Opt-Out Page and the DAA Opt-Out Page each provide a tool that identifies its member/participating companies that have cookies on your browser and provides a mechanism to opt out of receiving cookies from those companies. Please note that if you opt-out of targeted advertising, we may still track your visits to the CAP Site for our own analytics, operations and security purposes.
  • Google : Google provides tools to allow you to opt out of the use of certain information collected by Google Analytics at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout , by Google Analytics for Display Advertising or the Google Display Network at https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/ , or downloading the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
  • Mobile Device : You may also limit our use of information collected from or about your mobile device for purposes of serving targeted ads to you by going to your device settings and turning off tracking for advertising purposes.

We may communicate with you regarding any matter related to Costco Auto Program via mail, via telephone or via electronic communications, including via email to the email address you provide, via text message to the mobile phone you provide, or via the CAP Site.

To opt-out of receiving text messages, please follow the instructions in the body of the text message. Note that in order for you to receive communications via text message, you must maintain, at your own cost, a mobile device capable of sending and receiving text messages. Message and data rates may apply to each text message sent and received in connection with Costco Auto Program. Please see your wireless provider to review your wireless plan details.

We take information security seriously and use certain reasonable security measures designed to help protect your Personal Information. However, no electronic data transmission or storage of information can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Please note that we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you use the CAP Site and provide us with information at your own risk.

The CAP Site may contain links to other websites or online services that are operated and maintained by Costco or third parties, and that are not under the control of or maintained by CAP. The inclusion of a link on the CAP Site does not imply endorsement of the linked site or service by us or by our affiliates.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to Costco’s activity or to any Personal Information you may disclose directly to Costco. We encourage you to review Costco’s privacy policy, available here .

The CAP Site is operated in the United States. If you are located in the EEA, Canada or anywhere else outside of the United States, please be aware that information we collect, including, without limitation, Personal Information, will be transferred to, processed and stored in the United States. The data protection laws in the United States may differ from those of the country in which you are located, and your Personal Information may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, or law enforcement in the United States according to laws of the United States. By using the CAP Site or providing us with any information, you consent to this transfer, processing and storage of information about you in the United States. Where required by law, we will transfer your personal data subject to appropriate or suitable safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

Please note, we may change information on the CAP Site and/or this Privacy Policy at any time without prior notice to you, and any changes will be effective immediately upon the posting of the revised Privacy Policy on the CAP Site.

Finding Car Dealerships That Take RV Trade-Ins Near Me

  • November 14, 2023 /
  • RVing 101 /
  • By James V.

There is a possibility. Whenever you want a change in lifestyle, it is a smart idea to consider trading in your RV for a nice vehicle. The problem is not every car dealership will be thinking along the same lines as you. Finding one near you can be a tedious task.

Due to licensing or the purpose of the dealership, you may not find that many car dealers are willing to take an RV in on trade. CarMax may be one of the few who will do this type of trade but you may not get a great deal when you try it.

To learn more about this topic, just continue to read our article. It explores the topic so you have the best information possible and a place to get started on this task. Take a few minutes to see what can be done near you.

Can You Trade in an RV For a Car?

Can-You-Trade-in-an-RV-For-a-Car

Just about anything is possible when you want to do a trade. Trades are done all the time but usually, they are done outside of dealerships and companies specializing in those items to be traded.

However, it is possible to trade in an RV for a car. The only difficulty you may have is that not all car dealerships are open to this type of trade. It is not a universal attitude and you may be hard-pressed to find one near you that is willing to do this deal.

One of the issues you have to consider before you approach a car dealer with this idea is the value you will get in return. Not every car dealer will give you what you think your RV is worth.

That is because they work on a dealer wholesale value that excludes sentimental and other personal value you place on your RV. Even though you can find out what your RV is worth on JD Power’s website, that does not mean the dealership will give you that amount.

They have other expenses and regulations to consider that lower the RV's value to them. We will get into this topic in the next section.

Trade in RV At a Car Dealership

Trade-in-RV-At-a-Car-Dealership

Before you do this, there are things you need to know. Car dealerships will only do the deal when it is advantageous to them. That means you will not get the value you think you have coming.

Dealerships, if they can accept your RV in trade, have to follow licensing regulations, they may have to do safety work to your RV, detail it, repair any broken items, and have it sit on their lot taking up space that a more popular vehicle could use.

All those factors and more mean that you will lose out on value when you present the deal to the sales manager. Then, there is your part. If you have an outstanding loan on your RV, you either need to pay off the balance or roll it over onto the car you want in trade.

You should make sure the RV is in good shape as well. Condition means everything and if your RV is in rough condition, you are going to get a very low trade-in value.

Finally, the year, make, brand, and model of your RV, not to mention size, and features will also affect your trade-in value. If the RV is too old, then you may not get anything for it on a trade-in basis.

It would be better to sell it privately and get cash for the RV than trade it in. You would get more value for your RV this way and the extra cash would help pay off the car you want to buy.

This is going to be more difficult to do than you may think. In your mind, it seems like a logical and reasonable business move to make but that is not so. Car dealerships are governed by licensing regulations and they cannot violate those regulations if they want to stay in business.

Not all car dealerships want the hassles that come with dealing with RVs. There are safety regulations they must meet before selling the RV and like CarMax, if their license allows them to take the RV in on trade, they have to find an RV dealer who will buy the RV from them.

It can be a very sticky and complicated situation for car dealers and they would rather avoid those problems. What you are left with are two ways to do a local search to find a car dealership near you that will take your RV in trade.

The first option is to use your Yellow Pages or classified ads newspapers and make a list of all dealers in your area. You can expand the definition for the term local and broaden your search circle to include nearby cities not further away than 200 miles approx.

Then send an email or call them and ask them if they will take an RV in trade. If they say yes, then you can ask to talk to a salesman or sales manager. If they say no, then move on to the next dealership on your list.

The second option is to do a local search using the internet. Then if some pop-up that says they will do this type of trade, send them an email with your questions and RV information.

What may limit you from using some of these positive results will be if they have the car in stock that you want to own. If they don’t you either need to have a second or third choice for a car or move on to the next dealership that will make this trade.

It is not going to be something that is done in an hour unless you are a very extremely lucky person.

Reasons Why RV Owners Trade in Their RVs

Reasons-Why-RV-Owners-Trade-in-Their-RVs

Some owners may question why anyone would give up the RV life and trade their nice RV in for a vehicle. Yet, there are some very legitimate reasons why a few owners do this trade.

1. The RV life is just not for them. They tried it and thought it would be good but there are just too many hassles, bad RV owners & campgrounds to deal with, and so on.

Plus living in a small space all the time is just not comfortable for them

2. The expense can hurt them financially. This is a major problem with RVs. With yearly registration, insurance, fuel costs, campground, and other fees, it can get very expensive to own an RV. Not everyone has the financial resources to absorb those fees.

3 . RV repairs are not cheap. There are many mechanics and repair shops that inflate the cost of those repairs just because they feel an RV owner can afford it. Even if you find and go to an honest repair shop, the cost of repairs can be quite high.

4. RVs lose their value fairly quickly. Depreciation is a going concern for most RV owners. While you may have paid top dollar for your RV, no one else will once you drive it off the lot.

The moment you leave the lot the RV is considered a used vehicle and people will only pay you a used value for your RV even if you only drove 1000 miles and need to sell it.

5. Emergency expenses are another good and legitimate reason why people trade in their RVs. Something unrelated happens in their lives, usually medical issues, that make it necessary to get rid of the RV and spend their money covering those expenses.

6 . It is hard or impossible for owners to do maintenance work on their RV. Not everyone can climb on the roof or crawl underneath to see what is wrong and what needs to be done. Or they just can’t do the work anymore.

Age and health often influence RV owners to downgrade to a vehicle and that is not wrong. It is something everyone has to face at some point.

7. Finding the money to buy a new car without trading in their RV can be hard. Cars, even used cars, have gotten very expensive recently, and having the extra money for a down payment or a complete cash purchase is hard to do.

Trading in their RV is the only option they have if they want that new car.

Some Additional Words

Due to licensing and other car dealership issues, finding one that will take an RV in trade for a car can be very difficult. It will take some time to go through the dealerships in your area to find one, two, or a few that will do this trade.

Once you do, you need to check their inventory to see if they have the car you want to buy. The trick is to not be surprised when you are offered far less than what you think your RV is worth.

Frequently asked questions

How does kayak find such low rental car prices.

KAYAK compares rental car prices from all major car rental companies such as Thrifty, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, Payless and more to find you the best deal.

How do I find the best car rental deals on KAYAK?

A simple rental car search at https://www.kayak.com/cars scans for prices on hundreds of travel sites in seconds. We gather car rental deals from across the web and put them in one place. Then on the search results page you can use various filters to compare your options for your preferred rental car type and easily choose the best car rental deal from all of the deals coming straight from the travel sites to your screen, with no extra fee from KAYAK.

What is special about comparing rental car deals on KAYAK?

Looking for the lowest price? We can make that happen. Our car rental price sort gives you quick access to the cheapest and/or the most expensive deals—it’s your trip, so it’s up to you. Sometimes, the same rental car deal will be available on several provider sites. All of these providers are made visible for you to choose from, but we highlight one main car rental provider based on things like customer popularity or ratings.

What kind of cars can I rent on KAYAK?

On KAYAK you can find deals on all types of rental cars including small, medium, large, SUV, van, luxury, pickup truck, convertible and commercial vehicles.

What do I need to know before booking a car rental?

Renting a car can be overwhelming, especially if it’s your first time or you’re renting in a new country. Finding the right price, understanding the add-ons and staying up to date with policy changes can be a challenge. That’s why KAYAK has produced the ultimate guide to renting a car to help you cut though the jargon and make the right choice for your rental car. Find tips and insights for how to book your rental, what car rental insurance you’ll need, how to deal with a car rental agency and what extra fees to expect (and avoid!).

What is the minimum age to rent a car?

The minimum legal age to rent a car depends on the country where you’re renting. In the USA and Canada, drivers must typically be at least 21. However, some states and provinces allow drivers as young as 18 years old to rent a car. In Europe and Asia, the minimum age varies between 18 to 21 years old but some agencies might require drivers to be at least 25. Keep in mind that most agencies add daily fees for renters below 25 years old.

Can I return a rental car to a different location?

You want to pick up a car rental in one city and drop it off in another location? We can arrange that for you. When performing a car rental search on KAYAK, simply select the option "Different drop-off". You'll then be able to enter both your desired pick-up and drop-off locations. Most car rental agencies call this option a "one-way rental" and charge a return fee.

Can new drivers rent a car?

New driver policies vary for each car rental agency. While some require renters to hold a driver’s license for a minimum of 1 year, others only ask for a valid driver’s license for the duration of the rental period. We recommend new drivers to confirm the requirements directly with the rental agency.

Can I rent a car without a credit card?

Renting a car without a credit card is less common but not impossible. Many agencies allow debit card car rentals from airport locations as long as you provide proof of return travel. Be aware that the agency might run a credit check on you and will most likely place an authorized hold on your account as a security deposit. If you plan on paying with a debit card, it’s always a good idea to check the conditions with the rental agency before booking.

Can I drive cross country in a rental car?

In the USA, it's typically not an issue to drive across state lines or to cross the border to Canada. However, you'll most likely pay an extra insurance fee if you want to travel to Mexico. Similar rules apply to Europe, as you'll need to cover a cross-border fee if you want to cross from one country to another. Failing to do so will most likely invalidate your car rental insurance. Crossing borders in Africa and Asia is generally more difficult and additional border documentation is necessary. We recommend always informing the rental agency about your planned itinerary.

Is it cheaper to rent a car at the airport or off-site?

You will generally find the best deals if you select an off-site airport location. Airport car rental agencies offer a very convenient option for renters who want to pick up a car directly on-site. However, as demand is often higher, prices also tend to get slightly more expensive. Some off-site rental agencies offer shuttle service from the airport.

Get Paid to Deliver Cars from Point A to Point B

' src=

If you love driving and are okay with driving other people’s cars, you’ll be happy to know that you can get paid to deliver cars by driving them from one point to another.

  • Inbox Dollars - Get paid to check your email. $5 bonus just for signing up!
  • Survey Junkie - The #1 survey site that doesn't suck. Short surveys, high payouts, simply the best.
  • Nielsen - Download their app and get paid $50!

For instance, you can deliver cars from the pier to the dealership, or from the dealership to a new car owner’s home.

Getting paid to deliver cars may be a quick gig within the city or a multi-day ride across different states.

Today, let’s take a look at how to get paid to deliver cars: what you need, what to expect, and where to find car delivery jobs so you can start earning quickly.

Car Delivery Job Requirements

The specific requirements to work as a car delivery driver will vary per company, but they will usually look for a valid driver’s license (some companies require a commercial driver’s license), a clean driving record, and the willingness and ability to drive long distances.

You normally have to follow a strict schedule. However, if the journey would take two or more days, you’ll probably have time to sleep or take bathroom breaks at stopovers.

You should be okay to sleep at roadside inns when necessary.

The cool thing about this job is that you’ll usually work as an independent contractor, which means you are free to sign up for as many car delivery jobs as you want.

For example, if you’re hired to deliver a car to Chicago from Philadelphia, you can visit all the attractions you want to see in Chicago within a day or two while you’re in the city. And then from Chicago, you can accept another car delivery gig to another destination, such as Los Angeles.

Paid Car Delivery

6 Companies That Pay Drivers To Deliver Cars

A driveaway service is where an individual or a business hires a driver to drive a vehicle on their behalf to transport it from one point to another.

Drivers who get paid to deliver cars or larger vehicles are commonly called driveaway drivers.

They are vetted and hired by driveaway companies, which then work with individuals and businesses that need their vehicles to be transported by being driven from one place to another.

You’d be surprised at how many driveaway companies are there all over the country. Just a quick Google search with the keyword “driveaway companies” in quotes plus your zip code or city and you’ll get a list of the companies nearby.

To get you started, here are a few driveaway companies where you can apply to be a driver to deliver cars.

1. Auto Driveaway

This is probably the largest and most popular driveaway company in North America, with over 40 different offices in plenty of cities, including Canada.

To get paid to deliver cars for Auto Driveaway, you must be between 23 and 75 years of age, must have had a valid driver’s license in your state of residence for at least a year, and must have a clean driving record.

Here’s how to become a driver for Auto Driveaway:

  • Join the team of “ Under 10,000 pounds ” (there are also positions for truck drivers available) and fill out a comprehensive application form, which includes your social security number, home address and driver’s license history for the past three years, and employment history for the past 10 years.
  • If you pass the application, you’ll receive access to the jobs available in specific cities.
  • When you accept a job, you leave a deposit (around $300 to $500), inspect the car for any kind of dings (big and small), and go on your way.
  • Check the rules for each gig. The tricky ones involve fuel allocations (some offer only the first tank for free, the next ones are on you) and driving after dark.
  • Once you reach your destination, call the owner where to meet up so you can get his signature. Unfortunately, you can’t leave car keys in the mailbox.
  • Visit any Auto Driveaway office and get the deposit back via check.

2. Driveaway USA

Driveaway USA moves vehicles and delivers peace of mind, according to their motto. You can get paid to deliver cars once you’re accepted as an independent contractor.

To be qualified, you’ll have to have a Class A or Class B commercial driver’s license.

Driveaway USA accepts part-time and full-time drivers. You can choose destinations you wish to take and participate in their referral bonus program as well as their safe driving bonus program.

Deliver cars for cash

3. Toronto Drive Away

Note: Driver applications are currently suspended, but bookmark the applications page and check back.

This Canada-based company drives vehicles to and from the Sunbelt, specifically Florida, Arizona, and California.

To apply to be a driver for them, you need to be at least 30 years of age, no criminal record, clean driving record, have a Visa or Mastercard for the deposit, and able to cross the Canadian border.

4. Sweetie Boy Transportation

If Toronto Drive Away services western states, Sweetie Boy Transportation focuses more on mid-Atlantic states.

Their AutoPilots get paid to pick up and deliver cars to and from the store or hub location closest to them.

AutoPilots get 50% of the fee for moving the cars, which is paid weekly via direct deposit. Because of this payment structure, there’s no definite hourly rate, but the company claims AutoPilots get paid anywhere from $800 to $1200 weekly on average.

To be qualified to apply as an AutoPilot, you need to be at least 23 years old, have a driver’s license valid for at least 5 years, be willing to drive 8 to 10 hours a day, undergo (and pass) a drug test before employment, and agree to be randomly tested for drugs throughout your employment.

5. Bennett DriveAway

Bennett DriveAway provides driveaway service for all types of motorized vehicles for customers all across the continental United States.

Their driveaway clients mostly hire them to transport tractors and straight trucks, but driveaway vehicles can range from cars and RVs to mobile cranes.

Drivers for driveaway jobs will work as independent contractors and will need to be at least 23 years old, have a Class A, B, or C commercial driver’s license, pass the Federal DOT physical and drug test, and have a clean driving record.

6. Roadie (a UPS company)

Roadie, a company under the UPS banner, lets students, retirees, and any other freelancer from turning spare time into extra cash.

Unlike other companies on this list, Roadie goes beyond car deliveries. You can deliver packages, lost luggage (from the airport to the owner’s house), groceries, and other stuff.

Interested? You can earn up to $13 per local trip and even more on multi-stop deliveries with Roadie.

Other Ways To Get Paid To Deliver Cars

Working for a driveaway company is just one of the ways you can get paid to move cars. Here are some other ideas worth checking out.

Local Car Dealerships and Rental Companies

If you’re trying to branch out and look for clients on your own, ask your local car dealership and rental companies about it.

Since both types of companies fall under the car and transportation industry, there’s a big chance that rental companies and local car dealerships might be interested in driveaway services every now and then.

For example, car rental companies can hire you to transport vehicles back to their office from repair shops, or after a one-way rental.

Online Car Dealerships

Thanks to the internet, car buyers can now shop for a new or used car online without ever leaving their house and have it delivered to their address.

Those who are selling their cars can also opt to have their car picked up and driven to the dealer’s garage or directly to another buyer.

Check out the following online companies and contact them to find out if they are hiring drivers in your area:

Drive an RV to another Town or State

If you’ve been dying to travel across the country and have no ride to get you far, join platforms like Immova and help others relocate their RVs.

Immova has been helping customers relocate vehicles since 2007. When you’ve joined the company, you can filter RVs by type, city drop-off and number of people coming with you. Yes, you can even take friends or your family along with you.

Note that you would have to pay between $1 to $10 dollars each night when you relocate the vehicle. In return, you’ll be compensated with travel allowance, fuel costs or other benefits. You’ll also save money on accommodation, since the RV can be your lodging throughout the trip.

Note that you’ll need Class A or Class B license to join Immova.

Start Your Own Car Delivery Business

Another way to get paid to deliver cars is to offer driveaway services as a contractor, independent of a driveaway company.

It’s not highly recommended, as being connected to a bigger driveaway company means customers tend to trust you more.

However, if you don’t meet some of the requirements of larger companies (which are, admittedly, rather stringent), being directly hired by customers may be a viable option for you to break into the industry.

Here are some of the places you can advertise your services.

  • Online classifieds such as Craigslist
  • Forums on travel websites, such as Hole in the Donut or My Family Travels
  • Platforms for drivers and passengers, such as iDriveYourCar or Professional Drivers

Once you’ve established trust and an online presence, consider starting your own driveaway company and hiring drivers so you can expand your coverage area and take on more clients.

You can also consider establishing a more permanent partnership with car dealerships and car rental services by offering a discount on their fees in exchange for a consistent flow of clients.

Get Paid to Deliver Cars FAQs

How much can you make delivering cars.

A self-employed contractor can expect to make $300 to $400 per vehicle delivered. Of course, this will depend on the distance traveled and other factors, such as if the car includes other things like a pet, or boxes of the car owner’s stuff.

This is a legitimate job. You can get paid to deliver cars, but the income is often on the low side.

Customers pay for the gas it costs to have the cars moved from one place to the next.

Shorter deliveries, which involve transporting cars within a city, are often paid on an hourly basis.

Who Pays for Your Return Trip?

One of the biggest questions people ask when they plan to deliver cars as a side hustle is this:

  • how does one return from the trip?
  • Is the return trip cost included in the fee? 

Your return trip cost is the responsibility of the hiring company.

If you are driving a vehicle for another person, the individual who hired the driver should pay for the return trip.

Other Ways To Earn From Driving

If you love driving but prefer driving your own car, you can earn money by delivering groceries , running errands , and doing plenty of other tasks .

If you drive a pickup truck , there are even more ways for you to bring in some cash.

Top tips to consider when booking a car rental.

Whether you're embarking on a cross-country adventure or exploring a new destination by car, finding the right car rental vehicle is essential for a stress-free journey. Here are some rental car tips to help you score the best deals and hit the open road with confidence.

How to book a car rental for your next trip?

To start the easy process of booking car rentals through Expedia, simply enter your desired location along with the dates and times for pickup and drop-off. Alternatively, browse our selection of popular rental car types and destinations if you need some inspiration. Whether you’re looking for a convertible car rental for you and your partner or a passenger van rental for the whole family, we have a wide variety of rent a car options available that can have you riding with efficiency and style.

What kind of cars are available for rent?

An SUV car rentals in Los Angeles , for example, can be a great option for those in town on business or just wanting to explore the city in comfort and style. Opt for a convertible car rentals in Fort Lauderdale , if you’re traveling for the sunshine. Those venturing to LAS can go with a luxury car in Las Vegas to get themselves a premium car rental experience. A vast array of car types are available from several different suppliers, allowing you to customize your search and find the rental that best suits your vacation type.

How much does it cost to rent a car?

The cost of rental cars varies widely based on several factors, like the class of car selected and the location where you’re renting. A one-way car rental tends to be a bit more expensive than a round-trip car rental. More luxurious cars tend to cost more, and busier areas are typically more expensive to rent in. Of course, travelers may opt for certain add-ons or protection policies that can also increase costs. If you're looking for deals, check the Exclusive Offers section of the filter list to find the lowest-priced car rentals. You can also sort your search results by price and set filters for budget limitations along with any other filters you find applicable.

How do I find a cheap car rental?

Finding a cheap car rental requires travelers to take advantage of search filters and pricing trends. Within your search, apply filters for your budgetary limits in the “total price” section of the filter list. Additionally, pay attention to the other filters, as they come with low-price limits for each. For example, in the Car type section, you’ll typically find that the low-price estimate listed for the economy car rentals is far less than the starting price for the premium car rentals .

What type of car is the cheapest to rent?

Economy cars tend to be the cheapest car rental most of the time, but there are exceptions to this trend. In general, the larger and more luxurious the car rental, the more expensive it's going to be overall. It's also important to consider where you're renting a car. Rental cars at the airport tend to be more expensive than rentals closer to downtown even for the exact same kind of car.

Where can I rent a car?

Rental cars are available from various places in your destination, including near your hotel or downtown or at the airport, such as car rentals at Logan International Airport . There are search filters available that let you choose the specific neighborhood where you need to find your rental car as well. The companies that are available for car rentals will vary based on where you’re traveling, but some of the most notable are Enterprise , Hertz , and Avis car rentals . You can filter based on which company you prefer in the Rental car company section of the search filters, allowing you to search specifically for something like Avis car rentals in Chicago if you like. In terms of cities, virtually every destination has rental cars available. The best places to rent a car tend to be larger cities where you may want to get around faster than public transportation will allow. Some of the best locations to rent a car include car rentals near Disneyland or car rentals in Phoenix .

Is it worth it to rent a car?

Travelers will find several advantages to renting a car, including having an easy way to travel that's faster than public transportation and the ability to feel more like a local. This also comes in handy when you're in a place that doesn't have that many taxis or you plan on traveling a lot to the point where taxis would be too expensive or impractical. Planning your vacation itinerary is easier since your transportation is taken care of in advance, rather than having to factor in train lines or bus routes. Whether you're on a business trip or traveling with the whole family, you have a stress-free way to get from place to place.

How do I get a good deal on a rental car?

The easiest way to get a good deal on a rental car is to use our filters. At the top of the filter list, you'll find a section featuring our best car rental offers. Check the filter for "Great Deal," and your search results will be filled with specials. Of course, you may also use filters for special features you want in the car alongside filters for the cost to see what kind of rentals are available that have the characteristics you want for your budget.

Do I need insurance to rent a car?

No, you don’t need personal auto insurance to rent a car in most cases. You will, however, be required to purchase some insurance to cover the duration of the rental. Rental companies will offer this insurance when you rent the car. Certain personal car insurance policies can also be applied to rental cars, and travelers can even use non-owner car insurance if they rent cars often but don’t have a car of their own. Additionally, some car rentals simply include rental car insurance within the price of the rental. You can check the exact insurance policy on any rental by clicking the "View rules and restrictions" link in the rental policies section.

Can I rent a car with a debit card?

Yes, many rental car companies do allow travelers to rent cars with a debit card. A debit card incurs greater risk to the company, however, so it’s not uncommon for them to make the process a bit more involved compared to paying with a credit card since they can’t bill a debit card on file without you present. Prepaid cards are almost always out of the question, so you’ll need a bank-issued debit card in most cases. Additionally, they may require proof of insurance, extra forms of ID, a credit check, and a deposit, among other requirements. Using a credit card to cover your deposit is the easiest way to not tie up your cash flow.

Can I rent a car at 18 years of age?

In some cases, 18-year-olds can rent a car, but that’s often not allowed in most locations in North America. In Michigan, Quebec, and New York, however, the minimum legal age to rent a car is 18. In places like Alabama and Nebraska, the minimum age is 19. Just about everywhere else in the US and Canada, the minimum age is 20.

Can I book a long-term car rental?

Yes, long-term car rentals are available on Expedia. These rentals are designed for people who plan to rent for several weeks or even several months at a time. Simply enter how long you need the rental for, and the available options for those dates will appear in your search.

Are car rentals fully refundable?

Some car rentals are fully refundable. Each one that qualifies will be marked as such in green text on the search results page. You may also filter for this feature specifically.

Why should I rent with Expedia?

Booking car rentals with Expedia makes it easy to find the right rental and book the rest of your trip in a single, convenient location. We also offer flights, hotels, and even activities you can book in advance. Plus, One Key members will earn OneKeyCash with every eligible booking that you can use to save on future trips.

VW Accuses Used Car Dealer Of Having “Bastardized” Logo

Volkswagen Group of America has sued a Texas car dealer for trademark infringement and ripping off their logo

 VW Accuses Used Car Dealer Of Having “Bastardized” Logo

comments

  • Volkswagen has filed suit against a Texas-based used car dealer named VDubs Only.
  • The automaker owns the V-Dub trademark and claims the dealer is diluting their rights.
  • VW also accused the company of using a “bastardized” version of their emblem.

Volkswagen Group of America has filed suit against a Dallas-based used car dealer named VDubs Only. It accuses the dealer of infringement and dilution of trademarks such as Audi , VW, and V-Dub.

While the latter is slang for Volkswagen, the automaker has held the trademark since the late 2000’s for “promoting the goods and services of automobile dealerships.” Of course, Volkswagen’s trademark has a hyphen whereas VDubs Only does not.

More: VW Unveils Their New Logo And First Ever “Sound Logo”

Besides accusing the dealership of “unauthorized misappropriation” of their marks, Volkswagen takes issue with them claiming to be a “VW & Audi Specialist.” That’s enough to make your eyes roll and the suit goes onto claim one of the dealer’s logos is a “bastardized” version of the VW emblem. The similarities are pretty clear as the circular logo features a white V at the top and a blue background.

The lawsuit claims the use of Volkswagen’s marks is “likely to cause potential purchasers of Defendants’ products and services, as well as the public at large, to believe that Defendants’ products and services are affiliated with, authorized, sponsored by, or endorsed by VW.” That seems like a reach as virtually everyone can tell a used car dealer from a Volkswagen dealership.

Volkswagen is seeking a permanent injunction preventing the dealership from using their marks. The automaker also wants attorney fees and costs as well as the transfer of the vdubsonly.com and vdubsonlydallas.com domain names.

The company claims the dealer has ignored their cease and desist letters, and is engaged in conduct that is “intentionally fraudulent, malicious, willful, and wanton.” It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out in court, but this could be one case where you end up rooting for the used car dealer.

The world’s electric car fleet continues to grow strongly, with 2024 sales set to reach 17 million

News 23 April 2024

Photo shows a line of yellow electric cars plugged in to charging points

Despite near-term challenges in some markets, based on today's policy settings, almost 1 in 3 cars on the roads in China by 2030 is set to be electric, and almost 1 in 5 in both United States and European Union

More than one in five cars sold worldwide this year is expected to be electric, with surging demand projected over the next decade set to remake the global auto industry and significantly reduce oil consumption for road transport, according to the new edition of the IEA’s annual Global EV Outlook .

The latest Outlook , published today, finds that global electric car sales are set to remain robust in 2024, reaching around 17 million by the end of the year. In the first quarter, sales grew by about 25% compared with the same period in 2023 – similar to the growth rate seen in the same period a year earlier, but from a larger base. The number of electric cars sold globally in the first three months of this year is roughly equivalent to the number sold in all of 2020.

In 2024, electric cars sales in China are projected to leap to about 10 million, accounting for about 45% of all car sales in the country. In the United States, roughly one in nine cars sold are projected to be electric – while in Europe, despite a generally weak outlook for passenger car sales and the phase-out of subsidies in some countries, electric cars are still set to represent about one in four cars sold.

This growth builds on a record-breaking 2023. Last year, global electric car sales soared by 35% to almost 14 million. While demand remained largely concentrated in China, Europe and the United States, growth also picked up in some emerging markets such as Viet Nam and Thailand, where electric cars accounted for 15% and 10%, respectively, of all cars sold.

Substantial investment in the electric vehicle supply chain, ongoing policy support, and declines in the price of EVs and their batteries are expected to produce even more significant changes in the years to come. The Outlook finds that under today’s policy settings, every other car sold globally is set to be electric by 2035. Meanwhile, if countries’ announced energy and climate pledges are met in full and on time, two in three cars sold would be electric by 2035. In this scenario, the rapid uptake of electric vehicles – from cars to vans, trucks, buses, and two- and three-wheelers –  avoids the need for around 12 million barrels of oil per day, on a par with current demand from road transport in China and Europe combined.

“The continued momentum behind electric cars is clear in our data, although it is stronger in some markets than others,” said IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol . “Rather than tapering off, the global EV revolution appears to be gearing up for a new phase of growth. The wave of investment in battery manufacturing suggests the EV supply chain is advancing to meet automakers’ ambitious plans for expansion. As a result, the share of EVs on the roads is expected to continue to climb rapidly. Based on today’s policy settings alone, almost one in three cars on the roads in China by 2030 is set to be electric, and almost one in five in both the United States and European Union. This shift will have major ramifications for both the auto industry and the energy sector.”

The report finds that manufacturers have taken major steps to deliver on the strengthening EV ambitions of governments, including by making significant financial commitments. Thanks to high levels of investment over the past five years, the world’s capacity to produce batteries for EVs is well positioned to keep up with demand, even as it rises sharply over the next decade. The pace of the transition to EVs may not be consistent and will hinge on affordability, the report emphasises.

In China, more than 60% of electric cars sold in 2023 were already less expensive to buy than their conventional equivalents. However, in Europe and the United States, the purchase prices for cars with internal combustion engines remained cheaper on average, though intensifying market competition and improving battery technologies are expected to reduce prices in the coming years. Even where upfront prices are high, the lower operating costs of EVs mean the initial investment pays back over time.

Growing electric car exports from Chinese automakers, which accounted for more than half of all electric car sales in 2023, could add to downward pressure on purchase prices. Chinese companies, which are also setting up production facilities abroad, have already seen strong sales of more affordable models launched in 2022 and 2023 in overseas markets. This highlights that the composition of the main EV-producing economies is diverging considerably from the traditional auto industry.

Ensuring that the availability of public charging keeps pace with electric vehicle sales is crucial for continued growth, according to the report. The number of public charging points installed globally was up 40% in 2023 relative to 2022, and growth for fast chargers outpaced that of slower ones. However, to meet a level of electric vehicle deployment in line with the pledges made by governments, charging networks need to grow sixfold by 2035. At the same time, policy support and careful planning are essential to make sure greater demand for electricity from charging does not overstretch electricity grids.

Record new car sales in Australia for April 2024

Australian new car sales are booming, with motorists snapping up record numbers of vehicles in the last month.

Craziest US pick-up ever hits Australia

Craziest US pick-up ever hits Australia

Australian car sales are in the fast lane, with the industry recording record figures for the month of April, and the first four months of a year.

Toyota’s RAV4 was the best-selling vehicle for April, overtaking the Ford Ranger that looks on track to retain its place as Australia’s favourite car.

It was the best-ever monthly sales result for the RAV4.

The Toyota RAV4 had its best month on record.

The result comes as Toyota’s new vehicle supply chain returns to normal levels following lengthy delays throughout the coronavirus pandemic.

It also helps justify a switch to more efficient – and expensive – hybrid-only engines for the Yaris and Corolla hatchbacks.

Toyota vice president for sales and marketing, Sean Hanley, said wait times for new cars have dropped significantly from year-long delays recently endured by customers.

“Record deliveries are not a goal in themselves,” he said.

“They highlight the pent-up demand for hybrids and the success being achieved in substantially reducing customer wait times.

Toyota has gone all-in on hybrid cars.

“While it would be easy to assume this result is simply driven by historic demand, it is not the full picture. Customer orders in April remained high, demonstrating a growing number of Australians are seeking fuel-efficient hybrids that are practical, capable and affordable.

“We remain focused on meeting this demand. Based on our delivery plan, average wait times for Hybrid Electric variants of RAV4, Corolla hatch and C-HR will be back to normal by the end of next month – just three to four months, if not even better.” Mr Hanley said.

Toyota’s improved supply helped sales of hybrid powered cars increase from a 7.5 per cent share of the market in 2023 to 18.3 per cent of the market last month.

Ford took second place for the month with 8,648 sales, ahead of Mazda (7,301), Kia (6,653) and Mitsubishi (5,314).

More than 97,000 new cars were delivered last month, putting the market 50,000 vehicles ahead of 2023 for the year to date.

Ford’s Ranger is on top of sales this year.

Tony Weber, chief executive for the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries, said the car industry broke ten record monthly sales results in the past year.

“April’s result highlights strong consumer confidence in purchasing new vehicles,

surpassing our expectations and is a testament to consumer choice and the industry’s

resilience in a challenging economic landscape,” he said.

In the same way that a good month for Toyota turbocharged hybrid sales, slower deliveries for Tesla put the brakes on electric cars.

Sales of electric cars were down in April 2024 (6,194) compared to the same month last year (6,530).

The American brand’s rollercoaster-like sales took a dip in April, when Tesla delivered less than half as many cars as it did in March.

But the brand will bounce back in coming weeks, helped by the arrival of its new Tesla Model 3 Performance sedan.

This storeyed car maker is looking to defy the odds – and politicians – with a stunning new supercar that could well be the last of its kind.

These machines might not be everyone’s first choice, but their forgotten status means that they offer tempting value for money.

This huge American pick-up truck is set to bow out with an incredibly powerful - and expensive - final edition.
