Route Plan

Austin to Amarillo Road Notes

Most loads leave on MoPac, swing onto US 183, and follow the 183A toll road north past Cedar Park and Leander. US 183 then carries the truck through Lampasas and Brownwood before state highways angle northwest to Sweetwater. A short hop on I-20 gives way to US 84 up to Lubbock, and I-27 finishes the trip. MoPac between US 183 and Loop 360 made the 2025 Texas 100 congestion list, so loaded trucks aim to clear it before the morning peak. Drivers break the run into fuel and rest stops well before Lubbock.

On the Austin side, West Lake Hills is a city of its own, and it posts road closures and parking alerts at the top of its website. We read those alerts before a truck heads up your street. On the Amarillo side, buyers in The Colonies answer to a master association that enforces a recorded Master Declaration. Read those covenants before booking, so trucks, trailers and portable containers fit the rules on unloading day.

Your walkthrough tells us how many pieces need pads, how many movers to send, and whether one truck can reach your driveway. We sketch where the truck parks at both homes and log any gate code or association contact. One coordinator owns that plan and answers your texts until the last box is down. See how our Central Texas moving team works.

Before the Truck Rolls

  • Set brush curbside by Friday evening
  • Cut limbs into four-foot lengths
  • Time yard cleanup for the third Saturday
  • Ask TDS to stop Bee Cave trash
  • Join Warn Central Texas alerts
  • Insulate garage pipes before you leave
  • Pack seven days of prescriptions separately
  • Label boxes by room for Amarillo

Bring these notes to your walkthrough so the crew plan fits both homes.

City Snapshot

Austin and Amarillo: What Changes When You Move

This table draws on U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey estimates for both cities.

Measure Austin, TX Amarillo, TX
Population 979,539 201,885
Median household income $93,658 $65,912
Median home value $555,300 $196,900
Average commute 23.7 min 19.6 min
Median age 34.7 35.1
State income tax None None

The gap in home values is the headline. Money from a modest Austin sale can stretch much further in Amarillo, so some sellers shrink their mortgage instead of their living space. Paychecks also run smaller there, which matters if anyone in the house still works. Shorter commutes and a similar median age suggest daily routines will feel familiar once the boxes are gone.

One cost the table skips is the last utility bill you leave behind. West Lake Hills bills wastewater through SI Environmental, and a past-due residential account draws a $25 penalty. Settle that account before the truck heads north so a late notice does not follow you. The West Lake Hills wastewater page lists the ways to pay.

Route Pricing

What Does Moving from Austin to Amarillo Cost?

Weight sets most of the price on this run, along with crew size, truck count and how close we can park at each door. Packing, storage and heavy pieces add to it. The figure we write down works as a ceiling: your bill can come in lower, but it cannot rise past it unless you add items.

Size of home Typical weight Crew and trucks Price range
Studio or 1 bedroom 1,500 to 3,500 lbs 2 movers, 1 truck $2,900 to $3,100
2 to 3 bedrooms 4,000 to 8,000 lbs 3 movers, 1 truck $3,100 to $3,300
4+ bedrooms 9,000 to 13,000 lbs 4 movers, 2 trucks $3,300 to $3,800

Each range covers the crew, the truck, pads, fuel, any tolls and the full drive from Austin to your Amarillo door. Balances paid by card carry a 2.5% fee.

    Leaving Austin: West Lake Hills

    West Lake Hills reports a median age just over fifty. If your move north means fewer rooms, remember that this price follows weight, so sell or give away large pieces before the walkthrough. Measure the new place first, then keep only what fits it. Every sofa or armoire you release in Austin is weight you never pay to carry into the Panhandle.

    Settling into Amarillo Senior Housing

    The Ussery-Roan Texas State Veterans Home in Amarillo opened in 2007 with 120 beds, and 30 of them serve memory care. Tours and admissions go through the Veterans Land Board on-site representative. If a parent is moving into a room like that, ask staff which furniture is allowed. Send us that list, and the crew will load only those pieces and set them in place.

    Moving a Parent Closer to Family

    The Area Agency on Aging of the Panhandle, run by the regional planning commission, helps adults sixty and older and the people who care for them. Its staff offer unbiased Medicare plan counseling, and an ombudsman speaks up for residents of nursing homes and assisted living. Call before move week to line up help. We can load the bed, chair and dresser last, so they come off first and the room feels like home on night one.

    April Snow in the Panhandle

    Snow can show up late in Amarillo. On April 5, 2025, a storm left more than five inches on the north and west sides of the city, and wind gusts pushed visibility below a mile. For spring dates, we watch National Weather Service Amarillo forecasts, shrink-wrap upholstery, pad wood pieces, and lay floor runners so wet boots stay off your carpet.

    How It Works

    Five Steps from Austin to Amarillo

    1

    Walk Through Your Home

    Show us each room on a video call or invite an estimator over, including closets, garage shelves and any heavy piece you plan to keep.

    2

    Get a Written Price

    You receive a not-to-exceed figure in writing, built from the weight, crew, truck and access we saw, so nothing new appears on the final bill.

    3

    Lock In Your Date

    Choose a dedicated truck for a set delivery day or a shared truck with a delivery window, then confirm the booking with your deposit.

    4

    Load and Drive I-27

    The crew pads and loads in Austin, then the truck works north on US 183 and finishes on I-27, with progress updates sent along the way.

    5

    Unload at Your Door

    In Amarillo the crew follows your association rules, places each piece by room, sets up beds and walks the house with you before leaving.

    Your Amarillo Move Begins with Our Austin Crew

    Our Austin Google profile serves the city and nearby areas, and the team behind it plans this route from start to finish. They review your walkthrough, match truck length to your driveway, and set the number of movers. For West Lake Hills pickups, they pick a start time that gets the loaded truck through the MoPac bottleneck while traffic is still light. Call (512) 595-3003 Monday to Saturday, 7:30 AM to 7:30 PM; the line is closed Sunday. After the truck leaves, your coordinator follows its progress and texts you updates through the trip, plus a heads-up before the crew reaches Amarillo.

    FAQ

    Austin to Amarillo Moving Questions

    How much do Austin to Amarillo movers charge?
    A studio or one-bedroom move runs $2,900 to $3,100. Two and three bedroom homes run $3,100 to $3,300, handled by 3 movers and one truck. Homes with four or more bedrooms run $3,300 to $3,800 with 4 movers and two trucks. Try our Panhandle move cost estimator before your walkthrough.
    How long does the drive take, and when will my things arrive?
    The drive covers 485 miles and takes about 7.5 hours without stops. Delivery usually lands 2 to 3 days after loading. A dedicated truck gives you a set delivery date, while a shared truck delivers inside a window and costs less. Tell us your closing or lease date so we can match the right option.
    How much is the deposit, and can I finance the move?
    We hold your date with a $500 deposit per truck. Homes with four or more bedrooms usually take two trucks, so plan on two deposits. If you would rather spread the cost out, Wisetack financing offers 0% APR to qualified buyers after a soft credit pull, with no fees.
    Can you help a parent downsize into a smaller Amarillo home?
    Yes. During the walkthrough, mark which pieces go to the new place and which stay behind for family, sale or donation. The crew loads only the tagged items, so the smaller home is not buried in extras. Keep keepsakes, papers and medications in your own car rather than on the truck.
    Who can live at the state veterans home in Amarillo?
    Veterans with a 70% or higher service-connected disability may live at the Ussery-Roan home at no cost, according to the Veterans Land Board. Other veterans should ask the on-site representative about eligibility and cost. Once a room is assigned, send us its measurements and we will bring only the furniture that fits.
    Do you move medical residents and hospital staff to Amarillo?
    Yes. More than 100 residents and 100 medical students train on the Amarillo campus of the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center each year. Residency start dates rarely move, so book early. A dedicated truck is the safer pick when your report date is fixed and you cannot wait on a delivery window.
    Do Bee Cave moves take a different road to Amarillo?
    Often, yes. From Bee Cave, the quickest path usually heads west on SH 71 through Llano and Brady, then meets the US 183 route near Sweetwater. From there both paths share US 84 and I-27. Your quote reflects whichever road fits your address and the truck size.
    Can you store my things if my Amarillo closing is delayed?
    Yes. If the new house is not ready, we pick up in Austin, keep your goods in storage, and deliver once you have the keys. Tell us early if a closing date looks shaky. Planning storage up front costs less than reworking a truck schedule the week of the move.
    What should I do first after I book?
    Start sorting room by room, using our Evolution moving checklist and skipping the out-of-state steps, since this move stays in Texas. Set aside anything that rides in your car, like documents and chargers. Then send us your closing or lease dates so we can confirm the truck type.
