Earn Money as a Private Driver in Vienna: How MUVN Works

Earn Money as a Private Driver in Vienna: How MUVN Works

As of June 2026

With MUVN, you can take items along on routes you are already driving as a private driver in Vienna and earn money while doing so. You sign up for free, verify your identity, create your ride, and decide for yourself which jobs you accept and at what price. You do not need a passenger transport license because you are not transporting people. For a medium-distance route, the sweet spot is around 60 euros per transport. MUVN will launch in Austria in 2026.

Why is Vienna Ideal for Private Drivers?

Vienna is a city with relatively few personal cars and a high demand for transport. Many people buy a sofa or a cabinet on willhaben but do not have a vehicle to pick it up. On the other hand, thousands of people drive in and out of the city daily with free space in their trunks, heading towards Linz, Graz, or St. Pölten.

This imbalance is your opportunity: There are more people needing transport than drivers willing to take items. Those who get in early secure the requests before everyone else knows about it.

How Does MUVN Work in Four Steps?

  1. Sign up for free. Download the app and register; it costs nothing.
  2. Verify. This includes a valid driver's license. This way, senders know who they are dealing with.
  3. Create a ride. Enter the start, destination, and time, for example, your commuting route or a planned trip out of the city.
  4. Accept requests. You receive suitable requests, clarify the price and handover directly, and take the item along on your planned trip.

How Much Can You Earn?

This depends on the route, size, and weight. Within the city, it starts at around 20 euros, while for a medium-distance route, the typical value is about 60 euros per transport. You set the price together with the sender; MUVN only provides the framework.

For each transport arranged, MUVN retains 3 euros fixed plus an 8 percent service fee; the rest is yours. Since you are already driving the route, almost all of it is a real bonus for your fuel costs. The principle works, as shown by the home market: In Germany, MUVN has over 100,000 downloads and more than 17,000 active users (as of June 2026).

What Do You Need to Get Started?

Not much: a car, a valid driver's license, and a smartphone. A large vehicle is not a must; many items fit in a regular car or station wagon. For larger items, a van is more practical, but you only take on what fits your vehicle. Transports are insured through MUVN Protect, covering up to 10,000 euros across Europe, with basic coverage up to 500 euros included.

MUVN will launch in Austria in 2026. Download the app, sign up for free in Vienna, and be one of the first drivers to secure requests on your route as soon as we go live.
