The route from Davenport, IA to Sioux City, IA covers roughly 359 miles by road, a west-bound trip that falls into the regional long-distance move category for pricing purposes.

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 $2,670 to $3,980 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 6 h 53 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 61 around Sioux City (51 interstate). For an in-state 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 Sioux City.

Davenport has a population of about 100,358 and Sioux City about 85,000. The two cities have comparable density (1,594 and 1,457 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Davenport to Sioux City?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,140 to $1,700 for a studio, $1,600 to $2,390 for a one-bedroom, $2,670 to $3,980 for a two-bedroom, $4,280 to $6,360 for a three-bedroom and $5,880 to $8,750 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Sioux City from Davenport?

About 359 road miles (304 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 6 h 53 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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.

Do I need an interstate-licensed mover for an in-state move?

No. Because both Davenport and Sioux City are in Iowa, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Davenport to Sioux City?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $520 to $730 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,340 to $1,970. 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–Sioux City corridor.
