Des Moines Moving Services Are a Click Away

Every move is different. Whether it’s a home, office, or just a few items of heavy furniture, iMoving provides a whole menu of must-have services for moving in and out of Des Moines:

Long Distance Moving

There's a surprising amount of long distance moving companies in Des Moines, but they're not all worthy of your attention. That's why iMoving made it easy to shop and choose from the best in town.

We're the only marketplace that lets you shop, compare quotes, and book your long distance movers in Des Moines without dealing with phone calls or in-home inspections. Just tell us where you're going and what needs hauling, and we'll provide a list of moving pros that are up to the task.

Local Moving

You're looking for the best local moving company in Des Moines, and iMoving can help you book them. We'll sort out all the sketchy operators to make sure you get a list of the more reliable and trustworthy options, and we'll make it easy to book once you've shopped through quotes.

Instead of dealing with in-home estimates or time-wasting phone calls, iMoving is the only platform that lets you book your local movers in just a few clicks. And even though you're just moving in Des Moines, we still hold your local movers to the same tough standards that we have in place for our cross country moving teams.

Packing Services

Do you have enough boxes for all your stuff? Do you have enough padding for all your fragile items? Do you have tape, packing peanuts, furniture pads, and everything else to keep your items absolutely safe in transit?

Amazon boxes won't cut it. And neither will your old t-shirts for padding and protection. Book packing services in Des Moines, and iMoving will make sure you'll get all the supplies you need - and the skilled hands to put it all in place.

Storage Services

Some people overestimate how much space they have. Some people underestimate how much stuff they have. And some people are a little bit of both. That's why iMoving offers secure, on-site storage for all your extra items.

Storage isn't just about square footage. It's also about spare time. It's tough to get situated at your new place if you have to weave through dozens of boxes. If those boxes are in a storage facility in Des Moines, it'll be a lot easier to set up your new place. And if your storage providers can deliver your items straight to your door? That's even easier - and that's how storage at iMoving works.

Commercial Moving

Pardon the pun, but moving a business includes a lot of moving parts. It's more than just moving desks: It's moving your team, moving your base of operations, and moving all the equipment and appliances that makes your HQ the beating heart of your company.

At iMoving, we only work with the best commercial moving companies in Des Moines. We make sure they offer all the specialty services you'll need for your fragile IT gear, your heavy machinery, and your mountains of inventory. And we made it super easy to shop for quotes and compare services while you're at it.

FAQ

How Should I Transport my Car or Truck?

iMoving offers a wide range of auto transporters to get your dream garage from point A to point B. You can only drive one car at a time, and you probably don't want to shove a bunch of moving boxes into your Lambo, anyways. Fortunately, our auto transporters have you covered - and if you book a covered trailer, they'll have your car covered too.

What is a Moving Shuttle?

When you move to a more built-up or urban area, chances are they won't let you park an entire semi truck in front of your apartment. Your movers will have to park the main truck at a staging area, and use a smaller box truck or van to transport your stuff to (and from) the trailer. This is called a moving shuttle, and the inconvenience comes at a price. Blame your city council.

How Should I Prepare for my Des Moines Move?

To prepare for a move in Des Moines, we recommend taking a few important steps. First, make sure you've got a job lined up at your destination. Secondly, downsize as much as possible before shopping for movers. If you're doing your own packing, box up your stuff starting with the least-used items, and always pack an essentials bag so you aren't stuck rooting through boxes for your toothbrush or clean underwear.

Do I Need Moving Insurance?

It's always a good idea to get insurance, and in the interest of being responsible, we're not going to tell you to skip it. However, if you're feeling risky and you're only moving a couple blocks (without anything fragile thrown in the mix), you may be able to get away with the basic coverage offered by your movers.

How Can I Tell if a Mover is Legit?

Movers need to have an official Department of Transportation (DOT) number, which you should be able to find on their website. If a moving company handles long distance moves that cross state lines, they'll also need a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) number. Don't forget to check reviews and look for any insurance info they may feature on their website.
