How AVL Is Different Than Other SD Movers

At American Van Lines, we understand that moving is a major milestone, and it can be scary to trust your personal belongings with just any mover. Lucky for you, trust is everything to us.

Unlike other moving companies, American Van Lines only employs full-time — and fully trained — moving crew members, not contract labor or part-time employees. We've built a reputation for reliability and skill that consistently earns us recognition from national publications and corporations that pick us to handle their relocations. And we are upfront and transparent about our costs — some of the most affordable in the industry — so you won't be surprised by the final bill.

Why AVL Beats DIY

DIY Is Not Always the Bargain It Seems

It might be tempting to try to tackle your move on your own. But DIY isn't as cheap as people think. Between fuel costs, tolls, rental fees, and potential repairs, the budget-friendly option can turn expensive fast.

Personalized Moving Plan

American Van Lines offers something different: transparent, flat-rate pricing with no surprises. We'll design a personalized moving plan that works for your needs and stays within your budget, making full-service moving a realistic and stress-free option.

Cheaper Isn't Always Better

Packing everything yourself, hauling heavy furniture, and driving an unfamiliar truck isn't just exhausting, it's also risky. From expert packing and loading to reassembling furniture at your destination, we take care of the hard work.

Award-Winning Service You Can Trust

When it comes to long-distance moves in South Dakota, American Van Lines stands out as a top choice. But don't just take our word for it — we've been named among the industry's elite by multiple trusted sources.
