Keeping the Dallas to Houston Move Cost Down

There are two ways to move cheap from Dallas to Houston. The first is finding a mover who quotes low and makes it up on the invoice -- bait-and-switch pricing is common on this corridor because demand is high year-round and customers are often under time pressure. The second is finding a mover with honest pricing and moving at the right time. We are the second option. The written quote we give you before the truck loads is the number on the invoice when the truck is empty in Houston.

The Dallas-Houston corridor runs hot in summer. June, July, and August add 15 to 20 percent to base rates. Month-end (28th through 1st of any month) is the busiest window at every DFW moving company. If you move mid-month on a Tuesday or Wednesday in October, November, or February, you will pay base rates. A studio or 1BR move on that schedule runs $1,950 to $2,100 all-in. Same move in July on a Friday before month-end is closer to $2,400.

We run two offices: Oak Lawn Dallas and Garland (2913 Big Oaks Drive, 75044). Both dispatch on I-45. The Garland office is useful if you are starting from east Dallas, Mesquite, or Garland itself -- it cuts origin drive time and puts the crew closer to the highway. Same rates from either location.
