Pro tip for the cheapest long distance move

Find long distance movers in Michigan that already have a booked job heading from Michigan to Iowa. Their moving truck would be making the trip back to Michigan from Iowa entirely empty. If you can find a Michigan moving company willing to move your stuff on the return leg, you'll score a real deal!

Moving Containers: A cheaper Iowa to Michigan moving option

Hire local Iowa movers for the pickup location at an hourly rate. They can quickly load your moving container. When your container is dropped off at your new home, hire Michigan movers to unpack the container and move you into your new home. You'll have to piece this Iowa to Michigan move together yourself with at least 3 different companies. Taking on this scheduling responsibility will save you a little money by moving with this strategy.

How we ranked the top Iowa to Michigan movers

Why you should trust us

We take reviews seriously to protect people just like you! Our team has been crunching data on moving companies since 2010. Our math-based ranking system uses data, manual review, and statistical analysis to help you hire the best Iowa to Michigan long distance movers.

Rating Methodology

Here's the methodology we used to come up with the best movers for the Iowa to Michigan moving route:

$Our data scientist working on the years of experience formula$

Our original review-based ranking algorithm

We started with a total of 92 companies that offer interstate moving services in both the Iowa and Michigan areas.

From these 92 companies, we analyzed a total of 16,085 reviews dating all the way back to January 2009.

We also reviewed a total of 1 state and federal moving licenses from these 92 companies and 438 different 3rd party review and social profiles.

Each of the ~16,000 reviews was scored according to our detailed 11-point rating criteria

Reviews are time-weighted so that more recent reviews carry more weight. This helps you understand how a mover is doing today... not 5 years ago. We have 6,036 Iowa to Michigan moving company data points from the past 2 years that carry more weight.

Bayesian averages calculated to fairly account for the differences between companies that are newer(like Pro-Low Moving) vs older more established companies (like Handle With Care Moving & Delivery ).
