Long Distance Towing

Long distance towing refers to the safe, efficient transport of vehicles over extended miles. It’s the service you need when a local tow just won’t cut it, whether you’re relocating, transferring a vehicle for repairs, or managing an out-of-area breakdown. Long hauls demand professional handling, route planning, and equipment that’s built for endurance.

At Riverside Towing, we specialize in long distance towing across Davenport, the greater Quad Cities region—and well beyond. Our certified operators and GPS-dispatched fleet are equipped to move your vehicle hundreds of miles with safety, transparency, and reliability at every step. Whether you’re heading across Iowa or into Illinois, you can trust us to deliver with care, professionalism, and on-time arrival.

Long distance towing isn’t just for emergencies—it’s a smart, stress-free option for anyone needing to move a vehicle reliably across a longer route. At Riverside Towing, we assist a wide range of clients with long-haul towing needs, including:

  • Private vehicle owners relocating across Iowa or into neighboring states
  • Dealerships and auction houses transporting inventory across city or state lines
  • Fleet managers moving work trucks, vans, or delivery vehicles between job sites
  • Motorhome and RV owners with mechanical issues far from home
  • College students and military families moving in or out of the Quad Cities region

Whether you’re towing a compact car, lifted truck, or something less conventional like a gooseneck trailer or diesel van, we tailor each job to your specific distance, timeline, and destination.

With Riverside Towing, you’re not just hiring a truck—you’re hiring a team that understands logistics, permits, safety compliance, and real-time communication.

Precision Route Planning and Real-Time Tracking

Long distance towing requires more than just a hook and haul—it demands logistical planning, road safety expertise, and constant communication. At Riverside Towing, we treat every long haul as a custom project, carefully mapping the safest and most efficient route based on:

  • Vehicle type and load weight
  • Destination address and state-specific regulations
  • Road conditions, traffic flow, and seasonal hazards
  • Low-clearance bridges, tollways, and restricted zones

Our dispatch center near Indian Road uses real-time GPS tracking to monitor your vehicle’s journey from origin to destination. You’ll receive updates along the way and know exactly when to expect arrival—no guessing, no blackouts.

We also ensure compliance with DOT regulations, long-haul safety checks, and interstate transport permits when required. Whether your vehicle is headed 50 miles or 500, you can count on Riverside Towing for a smooth, secure delivery without delay or damage.

Long Distance Towing for All Vehicle Types

At Riverside Towing, we’re equipped to handle long distance transport for virtually every vehicle class, from personal-use compacts to commercial workhorses. Whether you’re relocating across the state or need out-of-town recovery after a breakdown, we have the fleet, equipment, and experience to move your vehicle safely—no matter its size or configuration.

We regularly tow the following vehicles over long distances:

  • Passenger vehicles – sedans, hatchbacks, crossovers, and family SUVs
  • Pickup trucks & lifted vehicles – including duallys and work trucks
  • Motorcycles – with specialized soft-strap securement and wheel chocks
  • RVs and motorhomes – Classes A, B, and C, including breakdown support
  • Commercial vans – cargo vans, delivery vehicles, and fleet units
  • Trailers – utility, enclosed, flatbed, gooseneck, and fifth-wheel
  • Luxury & classic cars – low-clearance and high-value asset transport
  • Electric & hybrid vehicles – including Tesla, Rivian, and plug-in hybrids
  • Ag & light industrial equipment – when relocation requires regional hauling

We also assist dealerships, auctions, and leasing agencies with scheduled transports, swap-outs, and long-haul customer deliveries. No matter the condition or classification of your vehicle, we’re ready for the road ahead.

Professionally Planned, Interstate-Compliant, Fully Insured

Long distance towing isn’t just about driving—it’s about doing it legally, safely, and professionally. At Riverside Towing, our operators are trained in DOT regulations, multi-state transport requirements, and advanced load handling. We ensure:

  • The correct permits and authorizations are in place before any long haul
  • Weight, axle load, and tie-downs meet or exceed FMCSA and state requirements
  • All tows are covered by our commercial towing insurance for peace of mind
  • Drivers are briefed on trip-specific risks—weather, detours, elevation grades, and rural zones

We operate with complete transparency and follow a standardized long-haul checklist for every job, from sedans to semis. If you’re moving an asset worth tens—or hundreds—of thousands, you can trust Riverside Towing to handle it like it’s our own.

Transparent Pricing & How to Prepare for a Long Distance Tow

We believe you should know exactly what you’re paying for—especially when you’re trusting someone to transport your vehicle across a significant distance. At Riverside Towing, our long distance towing rates are based on clear, upfront criteria with no surprise fees or vague mileage charges.

Our pricing factors include:
  • Total mileage (pickup to drop-off)

  • Vehicle size and weight

  • Route complexity (rural access, permits, tolls)

  • Service urgency (scheduled vs. immediate dispatch)

  • Loading conditions (running vs. non-running vehicle)

Before dispatching, we’ll give you a detailed quote with exact cost breakdowns—no guesswork. If you’re scheduling a long-distance tow, we recommend the following to help ensure a smooth experience:

  • Clear out valuables or secure any loose items in the vehicle

  • Fold in mirrors and remove or retract external accessories

  • Provide exact pickup and drop-off locations, including contact info

  • Share any special instructions like non-operational brakes, locked wheels, or sensitive cargo

If your vehicle is part of a fleet or a commercial asset, we can also work with your dispatch or compliance team to handle transport documentation or recurring tow arrangements.

We’re here to make long distance towing simple, transparent, and worry-free—because trust starts before the wheels turn.
