Ship Your Car, Truck or Motorcycle to Iowa With Confidence

Iowa attracts new residents because of the state’s low cost of living, affordable housing, strong universities and education system, and one of the lowest crime rates in the country. Iowa also offers four seasons, very little traffic congestion and plenty of job opportunities. It’s the rare state that attracts both young professionals and retirees.

Iowa also has very friendly people who are welcoming to newcomers, as well as one of the country’s fastest growing metro areas in Des Moines. 

If you’re looking to move to Iowa, getting your car there is part of  your moving plan. Not so long ago, your only choice was to make the drive yourself.
