How Much Does It Cost to Move from Dallas to Austin?
The honest short answer: most Dallas-to-Austin moves cost between $2,050 and $4,500 all-in. The 2-bedroom apartment move — the most common job on this corridor — runs $2,450–$2,750, and it is the same $2,450–$2,750 in January as it is in July.
What we quote is what you pay. Moving Company Guys provides written quotes before any work begins — the price on the quote is the price on the invoice. No weight overages after we load the truck, no fuel surcharges added at the destination, no stair charges we didn't discuss. This is why 2,500+ customers have trusted us on this route since 2013.
Every quote for a Dallas to Austin move includes professional movers, our 26-foot moving truck, 195 miles of fuel, furniture pads, dollies, straps, up to two stair flights at both addresses, basic furniture disassembly and reassembly, and basic liability insurance. There's no separate fuel charge or mileage fee on top — the 195-mile run is priced into our rates.
The variable that moves the needle most is where in Austin you're going. Our rates do not change with the season — a November move and a July move are quoted off the same price list. Moving into a Cedar Park or Round Rock house costs nothing extra. Moving into a Downtown Austin high-rise adds $100–$200 for elevator coordination. The calculator above and the sections below break all of this out in full detail.

When You Move Does Not Change What You Pay
We quote this corridor off one price list and it does not move with the calendar. A 2-bedroom is $2,450–$2,750 in February and $2,450–$2,750 on July 31. What the date really decides is availability — how much crew and truck capacity is still open on the day you want.
November – February
Lightest demand of the year. Easiest scheduling, most crew availability, most flexibility on your start time.
March – April
Moderate demand. Spring weather is excellent for moving. Book weekend dates 3+ weeks ahead.
October
Demand drops after summer. Good availability, comfortable temperatures for a 195-mile loading day.
May – September
Highest demand, driven by college moves and lease cycles. June 30, July 31 and August 31 are the first dates to fill. Book 4+ weeks ahead.
What actually changes your Dallas-to-Austin price: the size of the home, where in Austin you are going, and the add-ons you need — not the month on the calendar. A 2BR move quoted on a mid-week Wednesday in January and the same 2BR move on July 31 are quoted the same number. Call (972) 528-0385 and we will confirm availability and put your price in writing.
Austin Neighborhood Cost Factors
Your Austin destination affects cost through two mechanisms: elevator coordination for high-rise buildings, and truck access for hilly or narrow streets. Here's what each major Austin area adds to your base quote.
Dallas Origin — How It Affects Your Cost
Your Dallas starting point matters less than your Austin destination for cost — but high-rise origin points and far-outlying suburbs can add time and cost. Here's what to expect by Dallas area.
