Shipping a car in Davenport

Davenport sits in Scott County, Iowa and has about 100,938 residents, the 3rd largest of the Iowa cities we cover. Places this size are typically served as part of a wider regional run rather than as a dedicated trip, so the pickup date generally has more give in it than the delivery window does. Booking a few days early is what buys you a choice of dates.

Davenport works as a standalone pickup within reach of Bettendorf (7 mi), Muscatine (25 mi) and Clinton (25 mi). A Iowa run through this area may take in Bettendorf 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 Davenport to the larger markets around it: Madison, WI at about 145 road miles, Chicago, IL at about 180 road miles and Des Moines, IA at about 185 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 295 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 Bettendorf. 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 Davenport 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.
