Whether you’re moving a one-bedroom apartment near The Domain or a five-bedroom home in Barton Hills, our full-service Austin movers handle the heavy lifting, the tricky staircases, and the last-minute curveballs so you don’t have to.

What a Typical Austin Move Looks Like

Every move is different, but here’s what three common Austin scenarios tend to look like so you can budget with confidence. These are example estimates based on typical hourly rates and drive times — your actual quote will depend on inventory, access (stairs, elevators, parking), and move date.

  1. Studio or 1-Bedroom Apartment, Across Austin (e.g., East Austin to The Domain, ~9 miles) Most studios and small 1-bedrooms move comfortably with a 2-person crew and one truck. Loading, the short drive, and unloading typically run 2–3 hours total. Estimated cost: $230–$345
  2. 2–3 Bedroom Home, Austin to a Suburb (e.g., South Congress to Round Rock, ~20 miles) A home this size usually calls for a 3-person crew to keep loading efficient, plus extra drive time for the longer haul. Expect 4–6 hours depending on furniture volume and stairs. Estimated cost: $580–$870
  3. 4+ Bedroom Home, Full-Service Move Within Austin Larger homes benefit from a 4-person crew to move efficiently and safely, especially with furniture disassembly/reassembly involved. These moves commonly run 6–8 hours. Estimated cost: $1,050–$1,400

Frequently Asked Questions About Moving in Austin

Yes  we regularly move in and out of downtown high-rises and older buildings with tight loading areas. Let us know your building’s access details when you request your quote so we can plan the right truck and crew size.
