Shipping a Vehicle to or from Iowa
ExecuShip arranges vehicle transport to and from every corner of Iowa: Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Davenport, Sioux City, Ankeny and 17 more cities have their own page below, and pickup is available at any address in the state. From the Des Moines area, a run to our Chicago hub is roughly 360 miles and about $573 on an open carrier. Los Angeles prices at about $1,436 and Miami at about $1,377. Every figure is open carrier, door to door, and confirmed by an advisor before dispatch.
Pickup and delivery are door to door anywhere in the state, be it a residential driveway in Des Moines, a dealer lot, a storage facility or an auction yard. Carriers run about 80 feet long, so on a narrow street the driver will arrange a nearby lot by phone, which does not affect the price. Estimates reflect open-carrier, door-to-door service. Enclosed transport adds a flat $500. Final rate confirmed before dispatch.
