Heat and habits are two major factors when deciding when to move to Austin. In general, the heat breaks in late September or October, making those months much more comfortable for a move. If you want to relocate when there is the greatest chance of finding available leases, however, July is a good choice, with many families and students starting and ending leases at that time. If you choose to move in the summer, just make sure you hire professional movers who will be accustomed to moving heavy items in the heat, rather than trying to do the work yourself.
Wondering about regulations that may govern your move? Let us take care of all applicable rules so you can focus on a successful relocation. Our professional teams of movers are familiar with and in compliance with every regulation that applies to your move, whether you undertake a residential, corporate, international, long-distance, or military move. We also listen to and comply with your special requests and instructions to accomplish your move as seamlessly as possible.
The average cost of a move between Houston and Austin is $1,300 to $4,900. Other factors will influence the exact cost of the move. For example, your moving expenses may fluctuate depending upon the number of items you plan to move, specialty items, and the exact distance you are moving. We can provide you with an accurate estimate based upon your circumstances.
| Studio Apartment | 1 Large Bedroom | 2 Bedrooms | 3 Bedrooms | 4 Bedrooms |
| $1,300 to $1,620 | $1,450 to $2,455 | $1,620 to $3,100 | $2,000 to $3,432 | $2,690 to $4,902 |
The two-and-a-half hour trip between Houston and Austin 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. Our moving teams will suggest a location for any necessary stops during the trip. A good stopping point between the two cities is Brenham, which is almost exactly halfway along the route.
Austin is a large city covering just over 271 square miles. Since public transportation and biking paths are not as developed there as in some other cities, you will need to own a car or live close enough to work to walk. As a result, the best place to live in the city is within an easy drive or walk to your job. In general, affordable yet up and coming locations are available on the east side of the city, so starting your home or apartment search there is a good choice.
The two-and-a-half hour drive from Houston to Austin 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.
Road conditions can affect moving, if not properly accounted for during planning. Bad weather, like rain and snow, for example, can lead to slippery road conditions that make driving slower. Traffic can also slow things down. Before your move, we will carefully plan your route and, with your agreement, choose the route that has the best chance of delivering a successful and seamless move.
Moving from Houston to Austin entails a move from a more traditional city to a more relaxed and unique city. Expect less cultural diversity, but prepare to embrace a talented music scene, unique restaurants, a slightly more liberal political approach, and more traffic. Austin also possesses a strong bicycling and oudoorsy culture.
As the capital of Texas, Austin has the big personality and vibrant culture that you would expect from the heart of the Lone Star State, and Texans know it. Read on to learn more about some of the many reasons to love, and live in, this city.
Planning an out-of-state move? You’re not alone — about 35 million Americans pull up stakes every year. Texas, the largest state in the contiguous U.S., has a culture and feel unlike any other. Here are eight some things to know about the state, and the people who live there.
“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!”

“I’ve moved 15 times over my career. Rick and his team were by far the most professional, hard working and detail-oriented group we have worked with. Highly recommend them!!!”

“This is our 3rd move with Ward-North American. Moving is stressful, and they took much of the stress out of the experience. They did our Pack up, Storage, and Move-In. Highly Recommend! Ward always sets the bar. I appreciate the teams that made our move easy.”
Casey R.
“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!”
Jill H.
“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.”
