HopDrive (Social Auto Transport, Inc.) is a Richmond, Virginia-based vehicle-mobility platform founded in 2018 by Nick Mottas and Rob Newton. It moves cars short distances for auto dealerships, independent service centers and fleet operators — valet pickup and delivery, mobile service runs, shuttles and parts moves — using vetted gig-economy drivers supported by live GPS tracking, automated SMS updates and photo documentation, with a Lyft partnership enabling single-driver moves. The company grew from its first Virginia and North Carolina markets to a multi-state US footprint and raised an $8M Series A led by Cox Enterprises in 2023.
