Shipping a car in Bettendorf

Bettendorf is a smaller Scott County, Iowa community of roughly 40,281 residents. It is within a short drive of Davenport (7 mi), which a carrier can reasonably cover in one pass. Cost here follows the corridor a vehicle ultimately joins rather than the size of the town, so quotes are often closer to a metro rate than people expect.

Bettendorf works as a standalone pickup within reach of Davenport (7 mi), Clinton (25 mi) and Muscatine (30 mi). A Iowa run through this area may take in Davenport on the same trip before heading out on I-35, I-80, and I-29. That is why pickup is quoted as a window of days rather than a set hour: the arrival time depends on the stops booked around yours.

Distances from Bettendorf to the larger markets around it: Madison, WI at about 140 road miles, Chicago, IL at about 175 road miles and Des Moines, IA at about 195 road miles. Distance decides more of a long-distance rate than anything else, so those numbers are where a quote starts. Our published corridors of comparable length, 105 to 290 miles, quote $400 to $650 for a sedan on an open trailer, which is the frame for a quote from here rather than a price for it.

Elsewhere in Scott County we also collect in Davenport. A booking that shares a truck with a neighbouring pickup is usually the cheaper option, so it is worth mentioning if you are moving more than one vehicle.

Before you book

Carrier checks and vehicle preparation are the same for a Bettendorf pickup as for any other, so they are covered once rather than on every city page. Before pickup, ask for the carrier's MC or USDOT number to look up on FMCSA SAFER and for its cargo insurance certificate. How to prepare your car for shipping covers the wash, fuel level and personal items, and the Bill of Lading guide explains the condition report you sign at both ends.
