Long-distance moving all across the United States. Experienced and insured, residential and commercial.
No two Austin moves are the same. A family relocating from South Austin to the suburbs has different needs than a startup moving its office out of Downtown Austin, and someone navigating a tight East Austin bungalow faces different challenges than someone moving out of a high-rise on the Lady Bird Lake corridor. Coastal Moving Services covers residential, long distance, same-day, commercial, and professional packing under one roof, with a single point of contact who coordinates everything on your behalf.
We work with a vetted network of licensed, insured moving companies serving all of Austin and the greater Central Texas area. When you request a free moving quote, we evaluate your specific situation, including move size, distance, timeline, building type, and any special items, then connect you with the movers best suited for the job. You get transparent pricing, no hidden fees, and a dedicated coordinator available through every stage of your move.
Local and in-state household moves handled with full-service care across Austin and the surrounding Central Texas communities. Whether you are leaving a Zilker bungalow or a Circle C Ranch single-family home, our movers bring the equipment, experience, and attention your belongings deserve.
Interstate and cross-country moves coordinated from your Austin pickup to final delivery. We connect you with DOT-licensed carriers who specialize in long-haul transport, with clear timelines and binding estimates so there are no surprises on arrival.

Professional packers who supply all materials and secure every item, from everyday kitchenware to artwork, antiques, and electronics, so nothing gets damaged in transit through Austin's hot weather, busy corridors, and diverse building types.
Austin moving costs vary based on the size of your home, the neighborhood you are moving within or between, traffic and access conditions, and whether packing services are included. Local moves within the Austin metro are priced hourly, while long-distance moves out of Austin are typically quoted as a flat binding estimate based on weight and mileage. Getting an accurate number early helps you plan your budget and avoid surprises on moving day.
| Home Size | Estimated Cost | Crew |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | $390 – $700 | 2 movers |
| 1 Bedroom | $600 – $1,050 | 2 movers |
| 2 Bedrooms | $880 – $1,600 | 3 movers |
| 3 Bedrooms | $1,300 – $2,300 | 3 movers |
| 4+ Bedrooms | $1,900 – $3,400 | 4 movers |
Hourly rates across Austin typically run between $110 and $190 for a two to three person crew, with neighborhoods like West Lake Hills, Tarrytown, and Downtown Austin on the higher end due to traffic, parking, and building access considerations. Interstate moves originating in Austin start around $1,900 and increase based on shipment weight, distance, and whether storage-in-transit is needed along the way.
Moving in Austin involves logistical challenges that simply do not exist in most other markets. Understanding these factors before you book helps you compare quotes accurately and avoid unexpected charges on moving day.
Apartment access is one of the most consistent cost drivers across Austin. Buildings in Downtown Austin, South Congress, and East Austin often have limited loading zones, gated entries, or elevator reservations that slow down the move. When the truck cannot park directly at the entrance, movers use a shuttle vehicle or charge long carry fees, both of which add time and cost to the overall move.
A Certificate of Insurance is required by the majority of managed apartment buildings, HOA communities, and newer high-rise developments across Austin, particularly in Downtown Austin, The Domain, and Mueller. COI requirements specify minimum liability coverage amounts, and some buildings also require the property management company to be listed as an additional insured. Confirm these details with your building at least two weeks before your move date.
Austin street parking restrictions, event closures, and permit-only residential areas can make it difficult to position a moving truck close to many building entrances. When the truck cannot park within 75 feet of your door, movers charge a long carry fee that typically runs between $75 and $200. In dense areas like Downtown Austin and West Campus, this situation arises on most moves, and some buildings require movers to use loading docks or side entrances that add additional distance to each trip.
Traffic conditions directly affect hourly move costs in Austin. Congestion on I-35, MoPac, and US-183 can add 30 to 60 minutes of transit time during peak hours, and moves that begin or end mid-morning or late afternoon are the most vulnerable to delays. Scheduling your move to start early, before 8 AM, is one of the most effective ways to reduce transit time and keep your total cost down regardless of which neighborhood you are moving between.
Austin has a high volume of lease turnovers and relocations tied to the city's rapid growth, making the last weekend of any month the most congested and expensive time to book movers across the metro. Summer months from May through September carry peak rates citywide, driven by hot weather and the high volume of job and housing transitions. Moving mid-month on a weekday between October and April offers the best combination of availability, competitive pricing, and lighter traffic throughout the city.
Professional packing is quoted separately and priced based on the number of rooms, the volume of fragile items, and whether specialty crating is needed for artwork, mirrors, or antiques. Partial packing, where movers handle only breakables and high-value items, is a cost-effective option for many Austin residents moving on a tighter timeline. Unpacking at your destination is also available and can be added at the time of booking.
Many Austin properties, especially in Downtown, Rainey Street, and The Domain/North Austin, ask for a mover’s insurance document and a reserved time for the loading dock or service elevator. We contact your manager or HOA, send the document with their wording, and book the time slot. On move day we protect floors, doorways, and walls.
Often yes. Share your manager’s contact, any forms, and gate codes. We’ll handle it and keep your schedule intact.
We plan for passenger-elevator rules or stairs, size the crew to keep things moving, and offer safe options for large pieces (disassembly or alternate path) if needed.

Let us handle the hard work for you.
From West Campus apartments and Downtown loading docks to quiet Hill Country streets, we plan where the truck will stage and how far items must travel. For high-rises, we use the building’s loading area and schedule around service-elevator windows. We confirm the approach in advance and reflect any time impact in your quote.
What if a truck can’t park close?
We plan an alternate approach, a smaller vehicle, different loading point, or adjusted timing, so the day keeps moving. We explain it in advance and reflect any time impact in your quote.
We manage long-distance moves from Austin with a date-certain pickup, a realistic delivery window, building or HOA paperwork, and steady communication. Your plan covers crew, packing level, protection, and everything included—before anyone lifts a box.
We’ll share a window based on distance, season, and carrier capacity, and coordinate loading docks or service elevators on both ends if required.
Add-ons: kitchen/fragile-only or full-home packing, short-term storage if dates shift, and aligned vehicle transport.
Austin moves span Downtown docks and service-elevator windows, West Campus apartments with tight loading zones, and suburban homes with HOA rules and gate access. What fits a Rainey Street condo may not work for a Westlake house or a Mueller townhome. As your moving planner, we match the right team for your address and handle the details that keep move day on time.
Right fit for your neighborhood: We have crews experienced with Downtown/Rainey/Domain mid- and high-rises, UT/West Campus apartments, and single-family homes across Westlake, Tarrytown, Hyde Park, Mueller, Circle C, Cedar Park, Round Rock, and Lakeway.
Paperwork handled: We’ll send the insurance documents your building or HOA requests and reserve the loading dock or service elevator for the time they give us.
Access & parking planned: We plan loading zones, alleys, and parking decks (including height clearance) in advance. If a large truck can’t get close, we’ll use a smaller vehicle and reflect any time impact in your quote.
Crew size & equipment planned: We build stairs, multi-story layouts, and the walk from the truck to the door into the timing. For oversized items, we’ll discuss disassembly or safe alternate paths in advance.
Clear plan & updates: You’ll get one coordinator, straightforward inclusions and pricing, a realistic delivery window, and check-ins before arrival and delivery.
We have the capacity and flexibility to handle moves of any size, from small apartments to large commercial spaces.
We have the experience and efficiency to make your relocation seamless and stress-free.

We’ll handle everything so you can focus on your next adventure.
Tell us early about pianos, antiques, fine art, large safes, or heavy gym equipment. We plan the path in and out of your home, protect floors and doorways, and bring the right equipment for safe handling. If your building has limits on weight or size in the elevator, we’ll work within them or propose a safe alternative.
We confirm stair or elevator limits, protect surfaces, and assign a piano-experienced crew. If a large truck can’t stage close, we use a smaller vehicle safely.

We’ll handle everything so you can focus on the adventure.
Will you handle my building or HOA paperwork?
Yes. Many Austin condos and apartment complexes especially Downtown, in The Domain, and around South Congress require a Certificate of Insurance (COI) before move day. We contact your property manager, complete the COI with their specific wording, and reserve your elevator or loading dock window in advance.
Do I need a parking permit for my moving truck?
Most Austin neighborhoods don’t require formal permits, but Downtown, South Lamar, and West Campus often have limited or metered curb space. We’ll help determine if you need a temporary “No Parking” zone or coordinate with building management to ensure legal and convenient staging.
What about gated communities or suburban neighborhoods?
Many areas like Lakeway, Steiner Ranch, and Circle C Ranch have gated access or HOA rules. We coordinate with your community for gate codes, security clearance, and truck size restrictions to make sure everything runs smoothly on move day.
Can you handle moves into Austin high-rises?
Absolutely. Downtown and Rainey Street high-rises typically require scheduled elevator access and proof of insurance. We manage that process directly, confirm your time slot, and arrive prepared with floor and wall protection for your building’s requirements.
How do you plan around Austin traffic?
We plan arrival and travel times strategically to avoid peak-hour congestion on I-35, Mopac, and Highway 183. Your quote and delivery window already account for realistic drive times so you’re never left waiting or surprised.
Can you move during extreme heat?
Yes. Texas summers can be tough, so we plan early-morning or shaded moves when possible. Crews bring protective wraps and hydration supplies to keep both your belongings and our team safe throughout the process.
Do you handle small apartment or student moves?
Definitely. We frequently help students and renters moving around UT Austin, Riverside, and North Campus. Smaller moves are scheduled efficiently, often with reduced minimums or flexible time slots.
Do you move large homes or suburban properties?
Yes. We manage full-home and multi-day moves across Austin suburbs including Cedar Park, Round Rock, Georgetown, and Pflugerville. We plan for longer driveways, larger trucks, and any required HOA coordination.
Do you move pianos, safes, or specialty items?
Absolutely. We have trained crews for heavy and delicate items like pianos, fine art, antiques, large safes, and gym equipment. We assess access routes, stairs, and flooring in advance to ensure a safe, damage-free process.
Can I pack some rooms myself?
Of course. Many Austin clients save money by choosing partial or fragile-only packing. We can provide boxes, labels, and supplies in advance, and we’ll integrate your self-packed rooms into our overall plan.
