What I can drive for you

All routes are tailored to your needs. The principle is always the same: your vehicle, personally driven, from door to door.

Cars

Sedans, hatchbacks, estates, SUVs, manual or automatic. I collect your car at the agreed address and deliver it to the final destination anywhere in the EU.

Typical use: relocation, seasonal move, purchase abroad, long-term parking return.

Motorcycles

Long-distance, door-to-door delivery for touring, classic and modern bikes. I always take the machine to the destination myself, in the saddle.

Riding style is calm and technically careful. The goal is safe arrival, not speed.

Light vans & small commercial vehicles

Vans and light commercial vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes (B licence). Ideal for moving equipment, tools or personal items across borders. I hold a digital tachograph card if the vehicle requires one.

Note: cargo must comply with legal load limits and insurance conditions.

BMW X5 hybrid on a long-distance relocation Opel Astra on a European relocation route

My longest trip so far was 3,800 km from Lisbon to Oslo, behind the wheel of a hybrid BMW X5. But I do not only drive premium cars. The same care went to an Opel Astra on another route, across 2,400 kilometres.

Blue Mercedes at a car wash shortly before delivery in Lisbon Mercedes A-Class after the Brussels to Lisbon relocation

I transported this Mercedes from Brussels to Lisbon for a young client. Even her favorite potted plants made the trip safely in the trunk. This photo was taken at the car wash just a few kilometres before final delivery.

Premium 7-seater minivan collected from a Berlin dealership Minivan on German export plates delivered to Bordeaux

I delivered this 7-seater premium minivan from a dealership in Berlin to its new owner in Bordeaux, France. The vehicle made the trip fully registered with valid German export license plates.

Family car packed with luggage after a holiday in Dubrovnik Luggage-packed car driven back after the family flew home

After their holiday in Dubrovnik, the family flew home stress-free while I drove their luggage-packed car back. Leaving the heavy lifting to me allowed them to travel light with just small backpacks.

Right-hand-drive Mercedes van interior on a UK-registered delivery UK-registered van parked beside a hotel on the way to Spain

I delivered a right-hand-drive, manual, UK-registered car from a repair shop in France, where it had broken down, to its owner’s home in Spain. A right-hand-drive car needs extra attention on continental roads, and the journey was completed smoothly and safely.

Family Volkswagen with the cat standing in front of the car Volkswagen estate delivered to the family’s new home in Cannes

I drove a family’s car from Prague to their new home in Cannes. Shortly after pick-up, the owner messaged me: their cat, missing for two months, had just reappeared. The family flew with their pet the next morning, and by the time I arrived in Cannes, the cat was already there, waiting for the car.

Vehicle parked safely in the driver’s yard overnight Rest stop at home during a long-distance European route

A quick one-day run with the vehicle parked in my own yard. Whenever a long-distance European route passes near my hometown, I plan the mandatory rest stop at home so the car stays parked safely overnight.

Light commercial van used for a local one-day transport job Short-term van delivery between longer European trips

Between longer multi-day European trips, I take on local one-day or short-term transport jobs with light commercial vans. This keeps my schedule active and reliable year-round.

Pricing

Clear, distance-based pricing

My pricing is based on the actual driving distance. You know in advance what is included in my service fee and which costs are paid separately at real cost.

0.50 € / km
This is my personal service fee per kilometre driven. It covers my work, accommodation and meals during the trip.
  • • Kilometres are calculated based on the planned door-to-door route (including realistic motorway and safe road options).
  • • The same rate applies for cars, motorcycles and light vans up to 3.5 t.
  • • My fee already includes my overnight stays (hotels or guesthouses) and my meals during the journey, you do not pay these separately.

Additional costs paid by the client

  • • Fuel for the vehicle (based on actual consumption).
  • • Road tolls and vignettes on the chosen route.
  • • Ferry tickets if the route requires a ferry crossing.
  • • Any additional insurance or roadside assistance needed for the trip (for example, extending coverage to more countries).
  • • Travel to and from the route: my flight to the pick-up location and flight back home, plus reasonable transfers to and from the airports (public transport or shuttle).

All of these extra costs are billed at real cost with receipts, without hidden markups. Flight tickets are usually cheaper when booked early, so if we confirm the job in advance, total costs are lower.

Please note: this is a personal driving service, not a truck or trailer transport company and not a removal service.

To prepare an accurate quote, I need:

  • 1. Pick-up and destination cities (with country).
  • 2. Vehicle type (car, motorcycle, van) and approximate value.
  • 3. Preferred dates or time window, earlier confirmation usually means cheaper flight tickets.
  • 4. Special requirements (winter conditions, mountain roads, tight deadlines, specific route preferences).

Once I receive this information, I will calculate the driving distance, estimate the number of days, check flight options and send you a clear written quote with a total estimated cost breakdown.

Example: Oslo (Norway) → Barcelona (Spain)
  • Approx. driving distance: ≈ 2 400 km
  • Service fee: 2 400 km × 0.50 € = 1 200 €
  • Fuel (example): approx. 7 l/100 km at 1.80 €/l → around 300 €
  • Motorway tolls and vignettes: typically 150–250 €
  • Insurance / roadside assistance extension (if required): typically 20–70 €
  • Possible ferry or bridge fees: if needed, depending on the exact route
  • Flights for the driver (home → Oslo, Barcelona → home): usually 200–350 € (with early booking)
  • Airport transfers (public transport or shuttle): approximately 20–60 €

This is only an illustrative example to show the structure of the costs. The exact amounts depend on the real route, fuel prices, toll systems and flight offers on the given dates. Before any agreement, you will receive a personalised written quote with current estimates.

Process

How working with me looks in practice

The steps are always the same. Clear, documented and easy to follow, so you always know where your vehicle is and what happens next.

You contact me
You send me the route, vehicle details and preferred dates via the contact form, e-mail or Facebook / Messenger.

Written quote & agreement
I calculate the route, estimate driving and rest days, and send you a written quote and agreement before departure, with QES on request.
3
Travel & vehicle pick-up
I fly or travel to the pick-up location, inspect the vehicle with you (or your contact person), and document its condition.
4
Delivery & handover
I drive the vehicle safely to the destination, meet you or your contact, and hand it over with final condition check.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Clear information, transparent rules, and professional standards. Your vehicle is always handled personally and safely.

1. Who will drive my vehicle?

I personally drive every vehicle, without subcontractors or unknown drivers. This ensures consistent quality, safety and full accountability from pick-up to delivery.

2. Which countries do you cover?

I operate across the Schengen Area and other European countries with right-hand traffic. This includes Scandinavia, DACH, Benelux, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Central and Eastern Europe.

3. Is there a minimum or maximum distance?

There is no maximum within the area I cover, and no strict minimum either. On trips under about 800 km in total, though, my travel expenses (flights and local transport) make up a larger share of the price, so shorter jobs are usually less cost-effective. I am still happy to take them when convenience matters more than the cost per kilometre.

4. What condition must the vehicle be in?

It must be roadworthy, insured, and up-to-date with its technical inspection. Tyres, brakes and lights should be in good condition.

5. What happens in case of a mechanical breakdown?

I immediately contact the vehicle’s roadside assistance provider. They tow it to the nearest workshop or a location you specify. Return logistics follow your insurance rules.

6. What happens in case of an accident?

If caused by a third party, I complete the accident report and arrange assistance. If I am at fault, your insurance’s roadside assistance takes the vehicle to the assigned repair shop. Read more

7. How is pick-up and delivery documented?

Before departure, I take a full photo documentation of all sides. Upon delivery, the same documentation is provided to ensure complete transparency. Read more

8. How are costs calculated?

The total price consists of two parts:

  • Service fee: Covers my driver's fee, trip planning and coordination, as well as accommodation and meals during the journey.
  • Driver's travel expenses: Covers my costs to reach the pick-up point and return home afterwards (e.g., flight or train tickets, local transport).

To confirm the booking, only the travel expenses need to be paid upfront, this is typically a small fraction of the total price. Read more

9. How do I pay for the service?

Payment is made in two steps: the driver's travel costs (outbound and return journey, see point 8) are due upon booking confirmation, and the remaining balance is due 2 weeks before departure. Accepted payment methods: bank transfer, or cash upon vehicle handover (by prior agreement). Payment confirmation and the final invoice are issued in writing, with QES on request.

10. Can I cancel a booking?

Yes, cancellation is free of charge up to 48 hours before departure. However, any already paid, non-refundable direct costs (e.g., flight, ferry tickets or accommodation) are the client's responsibility. Please note that flight tickets are generally non-refundable, while other expenses vary depending on the individual provider's cancellation policy.

11. How far in advance should I book?

I recommend 1-2 months ahead. That way a date can be reserved and outbound and return tickets bought early, which keeps travel expenses and the total price lower. Last-minute flights are often scarce and expensive, so I cannot take on jobs only a few days before departure.

12. Do you work on weekends and public holidays?

Yes. The service runs every day of the year, including weekends and public holidays, with no surcharge. Standard rates apply. You choose the pick-up and delivery days. I plan my driving and rest around your dates.

13. How long does a transfer take?

I drive an average of 800 km per day. The first and last days are usually shorter, depending on pick-up and delivery times. Before booking, we discuss all the details and agree on the precise departure and arrival times.

14. Do you drive or return rental cars?

Yes, but only if the rental company has given prior approval. Because most car rental companies' terms prohibit third-party driving, please confirm this option with them before requesting a quote!

15. How do I know my vehicle is safe with you?

Every journey is confirmed in writing, with QES on request. You authorise me in writing to drive your vehicle, and you stay in direct contact with me throughout. Read more

16. Do you have the certificates and permits required for legal driving in the EU?

Yes. I hold an EU A1 posting certificate and a driver's medical and psychological fitness certificate. I also have a digital tachograph card for the lawful driving of tachograph-equipped light commercial vehicles between 2.5 and 3.5 tonnes.

17. Why is this a premium service?

Each job requires international travel, time, legal responsibility and careful long-distance driving. This is a personal door to door service, not mass transport on a truck or trailer.

Pál on the road Pál, YourEuroDriver

My name is Pál. I live near Bratislava, Slovakia, and I have been passionate about vehicles since childhood, when I first learned to ride a motorcycle. Over the years I have driven hundreds of thousands of kilometres across Europe, for work, travel and long distance trips.

Today I work as a professional long-distance driver, moving cars, motorcycles and vans across Europe for private clients and companies. My background in mechanical engineering gives me a strong technical understanding of vehicles, and I approach every assignment with precision and responsibility.

I drive calmly and defensively, respect speed limits and legal rest rules, and I treat each vehicle as if it were my own.
