Door-to-door Council Bluffs car shipping at the I-80 and I-29 crossing, with Metro Crossing hand-offs, same bands on both banks, bluff-street notes, and real bands.
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. Your car rides with a licensed, insured carrier we vet before it is assigned.
Council Bluffs sits at the busiest carrier crossing on the Plains, and it has the easier lots of the two river cities. Every carrier between Chicago and Denver passes on I-80, every one between Kansas City and the Dakotas passes on I-29, and the Metro Crossing lots at the interchange take a 75-foot rig a minute off the ramp; the window runs a metro’s 1-3 days. The subdivisions east of the bluffs have driveways that take the truck; the old grid below the bluffs and the hillside streets above Broadway are tighter and meet the truck at Metro Crossing, agreed at booking. Omaha families moving across the river for the housing, rail and casino transfers, and Iowans heading south for the winter are the shipments we see most.

I-80 and I-29 meet here, so carriers from every direction load at Metro Crossing without a detour.
Iowa and Nebraska addresses in the metro ride the same loads at the same bands; dispatch works from the street, not the state.
Enter your lane, vehicle, and dates in the instant calculator and dispatch books from that figure. One coordinator handles the move from booking to the delivery inspection.
Council Bluffs prices at the crossing of the I-80 and I-29 lanes, the deepest carrier pool on the Plains. Five things move your number:
The price question comes first on every Council Bluffs call. Iowa alone does not book enough orders on every lane for a reliable middle, so the bands below are standard-sedan open-transport lanes into and out of Iowa and its neighbors (Nebraska, Missouri, and Minnesota) that we have booked since 2023, shown as the middle of the market rather than the cheapest or the most expensive order.
Planning figures, not a quote. Enclosed adds about a third, summer and the Florida peaks firm their lanes, winter adds a day of slack, and a pickup or a non-running car prices above a sedan. For the real number on your route use the instant 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: Estimates on this page are middle-of-the-market bands for standard sedans on open carriers from lanes into and out of Iowa and its neighbors (Nebraska, Missouri, Minnesota) booked since 2023. Season, fuel, route, and vehicle change the real number, and your calculator quote is the accurate figure.
