Based on 1M+ completed moves across our platform.
"Most cost estimates are based on limited data that doesn't account for timing, location, or move size. Ours are built on years of real moves — so what you see here is actually based on what people in Austin pay."
How we calculate these numbers
1
Start with local data We pull from 1M+ completed moves on our platform. If Austin has enough data (at least 10 moves of a given size), that local data is our baseline.
2
Fill gaps with regional context Where local data is thin, we expand to county, then state, then cities with comparable household income levels—so estimates stay market-relevant.
3
Normalize for consistency We apply weighted calculations across categories to prevent a single outlier from skewing what a typical move should cost.
Keep in mind: many factors can affect the actual cost of your move—like the time of year, current demand, number of stairs, heavy items, and more. The best way to get accurate pricing for your specific move is to use our simple, 3-step quote tool. You can compare pricing from multiple providers, customize your move, and ultimately book the mover that best fits your needs.
How to Save on Moving in Austin
In Austin, TX, the average cost of labor-only move help is only $398.94, compared to $1,051.71 for a local full-service move, so hiring labor-only movers could save you hundreds of dollars on your move, if you're willing to rent a truck or moving container.
Additionally, MovingPlace's algorithm matches you with the mover that offers the best value for your needs, and our Best Price Guarantee means that you can book with the confidence that you are getting the best deal.
Real Experiences From Verified Bookings
Came a bit later than originally scheduled but still a really quick turn around considering I scheduled the day before! Were really clever about unloading. A truck of stuff that took me and my family 2-3 hours to load took them less than an hour. Very impressed! Also gave me some recommendations about the area since I just moved to the city. Would definitely hire again!

Movers | Ogre Man Movers, LLC
They were efficient, professional and overall nice guys. Knew what they were doing. This is my 4th time using hire a helper and they recommended the best movers, these guys were awesome!
— Dianna C.
Movers | Morris Moving and Storage LLC
I would definitely recommend this service. We were desperate for some last-minute help and they were able to deliver next day service. The guys showed up on time and worked hard and I could tell they were experienced at what they were doing. They loaded our moving truck with expertise getting everything to fit perfectly. They were friendly, courteous and respectful.

Came earlier that scheduled when my Pod ETA changed to early morning drop off. They started immediately and got the unloading done super quick. was very careful with all my belongings and will use again if i move.
— Michael R.
Movers | Go2Movers
I would recommend this team. They communicated regularly prior to the move, showed up within the window of time scheduled. Everything was moved and placed in the room that we asked. They were careful with our belongings and furniture and were very respectful and kind. I will use them again on my next move!
— Cynthia W.
Movers | Go2Movers
David and Sonny did an excellent job! I was so nervous about my stuff fitting in the truck. They fit it all and even included last minute items! Thank you!
— Shelly V.
Movers | Go2Movers
Marcel and Michael were excellent movers.
They did show up about an hour late, which caused me some stress but ultimately worked out okay. They were communicative about their delay and, seeing their dedication to our moving job, I understood that they were just doing right by a previous customer.
They worked extremely hard and were considerate of our property. Marcel did an admirable job breaking down and rebuilding our puzzling west elm bed, and Michael is an absolute workhorse. We would not have fit everything into the 15' truck I rented without Marcel's packing acumen.
— Eddie T.

David and Eli are absolute treasures! They arrived on time and finished on time. They were completely prepared for everything we threw at them -- despite the fact our moving contents were non-srandard. They worked hard in triple-digit heat, and were more careful with our property than we are! We will absolutely use them again.

Movers | Euphoria Logistics & Moving LLC
Schedulers did a good job matching the crew to the size of the job.
On time. Finished with about 30 min to spare, which is fair in my book.
They got all furniture wrapped up tight with padding.
Great job with Tetris -style packing into our container.
We will see which "fragile" items broke after the move, but I'm not concerned.
Fantastic work, Ogre Men!
