Will pay to have my car driven from YYC to YVR or YYJ

Post by Rtodd »

Not sure if this topic fits here but I have a 2011 Kia Rio5 parked at the Calgary airport and need to have it brought to Victoria or the lower mainland. Will pay $400 plus 1 night hotel, gas, ferry, meals and any contingencies that may pop up.

It is in mint condition operationally, fully insured with new Toyo winter tires. No timeline just whenever it works out schedule and weather wise.

Put it on a train or truck it, it will cost you less.

Have you tried something like Turo? You might get someone to pay you to drive your car to the coast.

No it won't. Even pre-pandemic it would cost $6-800 for shipping that distance. Now to go from YVR to YYC is about $1500.

True story.

I've seen how this works on TV. How many kilos of powder is in the back Randy? What's my cut?

I hate to say it, but there's zero chance I'd drive a car away from an airport for a complete stranger asking on the internet. Though you did say a night at a hotel, and not "You'll be soooper awake and talking about new business plans with your buddies for 16 hours straight"
