DriveItAway Holdings Inc. said March 31 that it has qualified for and transitioned to the OTCID Basic Market, operated by OTC Markets Group, and has launched operations in 19 additional U.S. metropolitan areas, bringing its total to 40 markets.
The OTCID market replaces the company’s previous Pink Current Information tier and requires baseline reporting and disclosure standards.
The expansion follows a January rollout of eight cities and is tied to the national deployment of Free2move Powered by DriveItAway, a mobility platform developed with Free2move, a subsidiary of Stellantis.
The company said the platform allows franchised dealers to offer lease-subscription programs for consumers with limited credit or down payment capacity.
New markets include Harrisburg and Allentown, Pennsylvania; Wilmington, Delaware; Trenton and Atlantic City, New Jersey; Washington, D.C.; and the following locations in California: San Jose, Oakland, Sacramento, Modesto, Sunnyvale, Anaheim, Riverside, Newport Beach, Long Beach, Costa Mesa, Palm Springs, San Clemente, and Irvine.
DriveItAway’s faster geographic expansion, combined with its scalable dealer-centric model, and Stellantis-aligned infrastructure, positions it to tap the following key growth drivers:
Rapid dealer onboarding across multiple regions
Expanding fleet availability through Free2move infrastructure
Increasing consumer demand for flexible vehicle access
Growing adoption of subscription-to-ownership models
DriveItAway said it expects to continue expanding into additional U.S. markets in 2026.
