If you ship a car, SUV or light truck, it will be driven onto the car carrier when it is picked up and then off of the carrier at drop off. If needed, it may also be driven on or off the car carrier while in transit in order to move other vehicles on or off the car carrier.
Other than that, it should not be driven anywhere. At most, your car should be driven 1-2 miles or less. You can compare the current mileage to the mileage on the bill of lading if you want to be sure.
A driveaway service is very different from shipping your vehicle. When you choose a driveaway service, a professional driver drives your vehicle between your origin and destination. If you want to know approximately how far it will be driven, use a mapping software (such as Mapquest or Google Maps) to estimate the distance.
