Reverse: New Haven → Davenport

Moving from Davenport to New Haven is a long-distance move of roughly 1,079 road miles, heading east from Iowa to Connecticut.

At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $4,940 to $7,350 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 19 h 18 min.

On the Davenport side there are 98 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (78 of them authorized for interstate work), and 242 around New Haven (131 interstate). For an interstate move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in New Haven.

Davenport has a population of about 100,358 and New Haven about 138,774. New Haven is the denser city (7,167 people per square mile versus 1,594 in Davenport), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Connecticut is a higher-cost state than Iowa, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Davenport to New Haven?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,980 to $2,940 for a studio, $2,960 to $4,410 for a one-bedroom, $4,940 to $7,350 for a two-bedroom, $7,900 to $11,760 for a three-bedroom and $10,870 to $16,170 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is New Haven from Davenport?

About 1,079 road miles (914 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 19 h 18 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Iowa into Connecticut makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Davenport to New Haven?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,560 to $2,200 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,980 to $2,920. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Davenport–New Haven corridor.
