Question 1

How much do movers cost in Austin?

Accepted Answer

Most local moves in Austin run $120-$180 per hour for two movers and a truck, with a 2-hour minimum. A typical 1-bedroom move costs $400-$700, 2-bedroom $700-$1,200, 3-bedroom $1,200-$2,000. Long-distance moves are flat-quoted from $1,800. We give you a written estimate before you book.

Question 2

Are you licensed and insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We are a Texas DOT-licensed mover (TXDMV Motor Carrier), fully insured for cargo and liability, and bonded. For interstate moves we operate under USDOT/MC numbers. We can provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) for any landlord or HOA on the day of your move at no extra charge.

Question 3

How fast can I get a quote?

Accepted Answer

Two minutes. Call (512) 217-0120, text us, or fill the form with your origin ZIP, destination ZIP, and bedroom count. We send a written quote with hourly rate, estimated hours, travel time, and total. No high-pressure phone calls.

Question 4

Do you offer same-day or last-minute moves?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We keep a same-day crew on standby every weekday and most weekends for eviction moves, surprise transfers, and closings that fell through. Call (512) 217-0120 before noon and we will usually get to you the same afternoon.

Question 5

What areas around Austin do you cover?

Accepted Answer

Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Georgetown, Leander, Lakeway, Bee Cave, West Lake Hills, Buda, Kyle, Manor, and the rest of the Greater Austin metro. We also do long-distance moves to anywhere in the lower 48.

Question 6

Do you charge extra for stairs, elevators, or long carries?

Accepted Answer

No surprise fees. Stairs and elevators are part of the job, included in the hourly rate. If your building has unusually long carries (over 75 feet from truck to door) or a freight-elevator reservation window we tell you upfront in the quote, not on moving day.

Question 7

What if something gets damaged?

Accepted Answer

Every move includes standard valuation coverage at no charge. For high-value items (piano, art, electronics) we offer full-value protection upgrade. In 9 years we have settled every legitimate claim within 5 business days. Damage is rare, but when it happens we make it right.

Question 8

What forms of payment do you take?

Accepted Answer

Cash, Zelle, all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover), Apple Pay, Google Pay. No deposit required for local moves under $2,000. Long-distance and interstate moves require a small deposit at booking.
