Yes, I did a few of those when I was just starting out as a new low houred CPL holder. The school where I did my training leased one of their aircraft to a country flying school so they needed someone to ferry it there. I also did a number of ferry flights from small country strips back to the big smoke as the flight school used country LAMES with their own private strip on their property to do the 100 hourly. It was a good experience for a newbie CPL holder and if you're lucky, you might even get a free train ticket to the countryside when picking up the aircraft. As captain XXX said, all you need to do is ask.
