Depending upon the type of move you undertake (i.e. Interstate, international, military, etc.), and other factors, such as whether or not you hire movers, your move may be guided by certain rules and regulations.

The two-and-a-half hour trip between Austin and Houston can be completed in one day. As a result, you should not need to stop overnight. However, you may require fuel, food, or a break on your way.

In Houston, the best place to live is close to your job. The sprawling city covers 669 square miles, and is known for having heavy traffic during rush hours. You could easily commute several hours a day if you pick a location far from your job. Even a peaceful suburb may not appeal after a few months of a long commute. In order to find the best place to live in Houston for you, narrow your search to the side of the city where your job is located, then consider other factors to choose your preferred neighborhood.
The two-and-a-half hour drive from Austin to Houston makes the trip easy to complete in a single day. However, the length of your move will be determined by other factors as well, such as the time it takes to pack your belongings, load the truck, and unload once we arrive at your destination. If you need to leave items in storage, you will also need to plan time into your schedule to do so. When we meet with you, we can provide you with an accurate timeframe for your move depending upon your unique circumstances and needs so you can plan with confidence.
Certain road conditions can affect the timing of your move. Depending upon the severity, for example, snow, ice, and rain can make the move more difficult. Traffic can also slow the trip, and your moving schedule. In order to avoid these problems, we will evaluate our route options ahead of time and select a route that allows for an efficient and seamless relocation.
Austin and Houston are similar in many respects. For example, traffic jams and a vibrant night life are defining characteristics of both cities.

However, you can expect to find lots of fine dining and a large airport that makes traveling out of Houston easy.
As a vibrant hub of ethnic, cultural, and career diversity, Houston is growing rapidly.

“Wants North American was everything we could have asked for on movers! On time, great crew, friendly, and efficient. The process was smooth and all my questions were answered quickly. The crew managed to perfectly jigsaw all of our items into a storage unit I never thought would fit everything! They assisted with junk haul off and were wonderful to work with. Will definitely be using them again once our house is completed and we need to move out of that expertly packed storage unit!”

“Andy and his crews were AMAZING! Very polite and helpful (this being our 1st time, we didn't know what to expect). They were fast and efficient at both locations! Andy communicated well before, during, and at the new location, kept us updated about when he would be there and such. Everything arrived in great condition! I appreciate them all so much!”

“From the beginning of my move, Erika, and then Elizabeth handled the quotation, scheduling, monitoring, and courtesy follow up with professionalism, sincere concern, patience, and good humor. The driver, Juan, was top notch. He and his crew handled all of the packing, loading, and, after a last-minute by me, the unloading. Again they were efficient, friendly, courteous, and handled all of my items with care. I highly recommend Ward North American.”
