Reverse: Peoria → Davenport

Peoria sits about 89 miles southeast of Davenport, which makes this an interstate relocation from Iowa to Illinois that most movers classify as a short-haul move.

Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 2 h 14 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,420 and $2,120, before packing or storage.

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 42 around Peoria (29 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 Peoria.

Davenport has a population of about 100,358 and Peoria about 110,920. Peoria is the denser city (2,357 people per square mile versus 1,594 in Davenport), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Illinois 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 Peoria?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $810 to $1,210 for a studio, $920 to $1,370 for a one-bedroom, $1,420 to $2,120 for a two-bedroom, $2,130 to $3,160 for a three-bedroom and $3,080 to $4,590 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Peoria from Davenport?

About 89 road miles (76 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 2 h 14 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

For a move this short, loading and delivery normally happen on the same day. Most crews finish a two-bedroom home in 5 to 8 hours plus the drive.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Iowa into Illinois 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 Peoria?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $240 to $340 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,100 to $1,620. 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–Peoria corridor.
