Door-to-door Council Bluffs car shipping at the I-80 and I-29 crossing, with Metro Crossing hand-offs for the bluff streets and driveway pickups east of the bluffs.
Ship A Car, Inc. arranges door-to-door vehicle transport for Council Bluffs, the Iowa half of the Omaha metro, where I-80 and I-29 cross at the foot of the Loess Hills, the casinos line the Missouri riverfront, the Union Pacific museum remembers the railroad that started here, the old grid climbs the bluffs from Broadway, and the Bob Kerrey bridge walks across to Omaha. The carrier assigned to your car is licensed and insured, and it clears our vetting before the assignment.
Two interstates meet in Council Bluffs: I-80 carries trucks between Chicago and Denver, and I-29 carries them between Kansas City and the Dakotas. The Metro Crossing lots sit at the interchange and take a 75-foot rig a minute from the ramp, so pickups here run on a metro schedule. East of the bluffs, subdivision driveways can take the truck; the old grid below the bluffs and the hillside streets above Broadway are tighter, so those cars meet the driver at Metro Crossing, at a spot set when you book. We move cars for Omaha families who cross the river for housing, for rail and casino transfers, and for Iowans heading south for the winter.
Speak with a coordinator now at (866) 821-4555 for pickup at any address in Council Bluffs, Carter Lake, Glenwood, or Pottawattamie County, or request an estimate by email through the quote calculator.
For routes, seasons and pricing across the rest of the state, from the Loess Hills to the Mississippi, see our Iowa car shipping guide.
I-80 and I-29 meet at the edge of town, so carriers coming from the east, the west or along the Missouri can load at Metro Crossing without leaving their route.
Iowa and Nebraska addresses in the metro ride the same loads at the same bands; dispatch works from the street, not the state.
Enter the Council Bluffs pickup, your vehicle and the dates in the quote calculator, and an estimate lands in your inbox, followed by a specialist’s call to confirm the price. Whether the car loads on the Iowa or the Nebraska side, one coordinator runs the order through the delivery inspection.
Prices here start at the meeting of I-80 and I-29 on the Iowa bank of the Missouri, across the river from Omaha. Five things move your number:
Council Bluffs pickups happen in a driveway east of the bluffs or at a Metro Crossing lot by the I-80 and I-29 interchange, and the table below prices the trip from there. Kansas City, Denver, Houston, Orlando and Seattle are distance rows rather than lanes of our own, each band being the middle half of what customers paid for open-carrier moves of similar length in our bookings between September 2025 and August 2026.
These bands describe a sedan on an open trailer. A pickup, a three-row SUV or a car that will not start costs more on either side of the river, and enclosed transport adds about a third. For a Council Bluffs price on your exact car, use the quote calculator or call (866) 821-4555. No deposit is taken until a carrier is assigned to your move.
The wind-blown bluffs behind the city are found almost nowhere else on earth.
The transcontinental railroad’s eastern end was fixed here in 1862.
Three casinos line the Iowa riverfront.
The footbridge crosses the Missouri to downtown Omaha.
Please note: On the Council Bluffs table, the Kansas City, Denver, Houston, Orlando and Seattle bands come from open-carrier moves of matching mileage that customers booked with us from September 2025 to August 2026. Season, fuel and the vehicle can move the final number either way, so the figure on your booking is the one a specialist confirms by phone, not the emailed estimate.
