How can I drive across America...for free?
I did a bit of research on this and didn't come up with much except elaborate advertising plans...which I just dont think will work for me.

I figured theres gotta be some people/business that needs to relocate a car across America...and needs a driver to do it. Anyone know anything about this sort of thing.

I live in CT, I plan on going to college in CA. Wondered if maybe I could see America on the way

Oh by the way I'm 18 and I understand if a rental car company wont trust me then why should anyone but yea can anyone help me?

A friend of mine did the car transport thing for a few months. She's hard to track down, but if I can I'll get some contact info. You'll get sent wherever they need you to go.

well i found the term is called "driveaway" and alot have people have done them with great experiences. they put down a deposit for like $300 and take notes on dings/damage the car has before the trip.

unfortunately I seem to run into the "you must be over the age of 23 to apply" deal :/ anyone know of someone who could hook me up?

I don't know about the age thing, but she definately had to take drug tests.

and with all major companies advertising on the internet they say you have to be 23 or older

"I get 50 mpg on this hog!"


yea I've pretty much thrown that option away because i have no idea how to drive a motorcycle and it seems like something only motorcycle nuts do

i'm pretty sure i'm just going to drive my Z/whatever car i get across
