service to drive my car
 
is there any company that drives cars to places for people? i know that there must be companies that do it between NY and Fl as I know many people who spend the winter in Fl and fly but want their car with them in FL.
We are flying from NJ to MSP to take the Delta Queen from MSP to St Louis .we want to drive home . I cannot find any car rental places that offer a mini van or larger vehicle as a one way rental. So I was thinkng about having my van driven from NJ to St Louis but don't know how to get informaion .
Thanks
Melissa

Both Hertz and National offer 1 way minivan rentals from STL to EWR.

You might check with a car or truck (18 wheeler) dealership. I know they sometimes need a car/truck delivered somewhere and the driver will drive the vehicle there and fly back. (I would ask for the sales mgr.) Or maybe an antique car dealership - I bought an old car for my husband and it was delivered to me on the back of a wrecker-like truck (flatbed).

Once, many years ago, I went across country with a friend in a driveaway. We delivered a car to Rhode Island and spent the summer on the east coast. The company was called Driveaway or Auto Driveaway. They deliver cars all over the country. I did a google and found both. You can check with them.

My parents just moved from Atlanta to Seattle and used an agency to drive their vehicle across country. The car arrived damaged (to the tune of $1000 approx. repair) and the agency would not complete the last leg of the journey - made my folks ferry / drive to meet them - hours out of thier way. Seemed like a pain in the neck. I would go for the one way rental if you can find it.
