FAQs
What else should you know about moving out of state?
A moving company helping you move out of Iowa must be properly licensed and have a U.S. Department of Transportation number. Of course, all the Muscatine movers we’ve included on this list have everything in order, but you can check for yourself on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s database.
If you’re moving from one state to another, you’ll want to familiarize yourself with the Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move document from the FMCSA.
Is it better to use local or national movers to relocate from Muscatine?
With 9 movers in Muscatine, you’ve got a mid-sized set of choices. That’s enough to compare pricing and services, but not so many that it feels overwhelming. For reference, Iowa has 32 movers statewide. We’ve flagged the most reliable local moving companies to save you time.
For out-of-state moves, Safeway Moving is our top recommendation because of their strong interstate capabilities.
When is the cheapest time of year to move away from Muscatine?
Since demand for movers in Muscatine drops in November and December — thanks to the holiday season and school commitments — you’ll have more room to negotiate with moving companies and potentially lock in lower prices.
What are the cheapest ways to move out of Muscatine?
If you're staying within 50 miles of Muscatine, doing the move yourself is usually the most affordable option. That includes renting a truck from companies like U-Haul or going with a moving container service such as PODS. Read our full breakdown of the cheapest ways to move out of state.
