More than 50,000 people moved to Iowa between 2020 and 2024. The reasons are easy to see. A lower cost of living. Job opportunities in industries like agriculture and manufacturing. And family-friendly communities. Many use a car to relocate to the Hawkeye State.
But driving to Iowa, especially from far away, can be challenging. Long rural roads stretch for miles with few services. Winter weather brings snow, ice, and strong winds. Storms can change conditions fast. The flat terrain can also cause driver fatigue.
One way to avoid those hassles? Just ship your car to Iowa.
But you may face a few issues, especially if it’s your first time getting a vehicle to where it needs to be. Delays can happen because of weather or traffic. Some people see unexpected fees. Pickup spots may change. Minor damage is rare but possible.
Choose a car shipping company with a sharp eye on every step. AmeriFreight Auto Transport has been helping people like you move cars to and from Iowa since 2004.
Whether you’re headed to the state capital, Des Moines, or Cedar Rapids—”The City of Five Seasons,”—or famed small towns like Pella and Decorah, AmeriFreight Auto Transport helps make Iowa car shipping simple and stress-free. No upfront payment until you approve your carrier. No credit card needed to begin.
Start the car shipping process with confidence. Begin by visiting our website at www.amerifreight.net. Enter your pickup and delivery locations, select open or enclosed auto transport, and input your vehicle’s details.

Once you approve the quote, we arrange for you with vetted carriers. Once assigned to a carefully vetted and insured carrier, simply complete the pickup inspection with the carrier, and your vehicle gets picked up right from your location—or a nearby lot if your location cannot accommodate the large carrier.
Upon arrival, inspect your car and sign off.
