Draiver seems like a flexible way to make extra money. Draiver pays you to move vehicles for dealerships, auctions, rental companies, and corporate fleets. For the right type of driver, it can be a low-stress side hustle with decent, predictable pay.

What Is Draiver?
Draiver (pronounced Driver) is a vehicle-delivery platform that connects drivers with companies that need cars moved from one location to another. Typical trips include:
- Rental cars between airport locations
- Dealer-to-dealer transfers
- Auction pickups
- Fleet relocations
- Corporate vehicles to employee locations
You transport the vehicle from Point A to Point B, and they reimburse you for expenses.
How Draiver Works (Step by Step)
- Apply on the app or website
- Submit documents (license, insurance, background check)
- Get approved and view available trips
- Accept a job and follow the pickup instructions
- Drive the car to the drop-off location
- Get paid weekly through the platform
Most jobs are one-way, and Draiver often helps coordinate your return transport (rideshare reimbursement or relay pickups).
How Much Can You Make with Draiver?
Pay depends on distance, location, and availability of drivers. On average, drivers report:
