We are a licensed carrier, not a broker, so the company that quotes your move also loads, drives and unloads it. The founding brothers still run the business, and our own trained crews handle your furniture instead of day labor. Route prices sit right on this page, so you can budget before anyone visits. See how our Austin long distance crews handle trips across Texas.
Austin to Corpus Christi Movers
Moving from Austin to Corpus Christi
Our Austin to Corpus Christi movers run the interstate south past San Marcos and New Braunfels, then cross open ranch country toward the bay. A video or in-home walkthrough fixes one written ceiling on your bill before any box leaves the house. Send us your move date and get that figure today.

Road Notes
Austin to Corpus Christi Drive Plan
Your truck leaves Austin on I-35 south and rolls past San Marcos, New Braunfels and Schertz into Bexar County. In northeast San Antonio, I-35 and Loop 410 share a short stretch that made the 2025 Texas 100 truck congestion list. We time departures so the truck clears that overlap outside weekday peak hours. Next, I-37 carries the load southeast through brush country and over the Nueces River toward the bay. Drivers fuel up and take a break in San Antonio before the long rural run.
Loading in Barton Hills can mean sharing the curb with hikers. The Gus Fruh trailhead on Barton Hills Drive has only limited street parking, and the Homedale Drive trailhead fills the Barton Hills School Park lot. We check those streets before we park a box truck there. At the Corpus Christi end, Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi asks families to unload, then pull out of the unloading zone. Campus parking also requires a permit registered to your plate.
Before we book, a planner studies your walkthrough video for stairs, long carries and curb space at both addresses. That review sets crew size and the truck we send, plus where the truck will stand while loading. One coordinator keeps the details straight from that first call until the last box lands. Want to see what our crews do around town first? Browse our moving services across Austin.
Before the Truck Rolls
- Clear Barton Hills Drive curb space early
- Sell Lake Travis boat gear early
- Check DriveTexas road conditions the night before
- Set up Miramar mail at SandDollar Services
- Confirm your Islander email move-in time slot
- Pack Spohn or Driscoll badges together
- Watch NWS heat warnings before load day
- Measure Uptown doorways before the sofa ships
Bring this list to your walkthrough so we can plan around each item.

What Does Moving from Austin to Corpus Christi Cost?
Your price starts with the weight we expect to haul, then adds crew size, truck count, stairs, long carries and any packing you want. After the walkthrough we put a ceiling in writing. Your final bill can land under that line, but it never climbs past it unless you add items or services.
| Home | Shipment weight | Movers | Range for this route |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio or 1 bedroom | 1,500 to 3,500 lbs | 2 movers, 1 truck | $1,500 to $1,700 |
| 2 to 3 bedrooms | 4,000 to 8,000 lbs | 3 movers, 1 truck | $1,700 to $1,900 |
| 4+ bedrooms | 9,000 to 13,000 lbs | 4 movers, 2 trucks | $1,900 to $2,400 |
Each range covers the crew, the truck, fuel and the full drive down I-35 and I-37 to your new door. Balances paid by card carry a 2.5% fee.

City Snapshot
Austin and Corpus Christi Side by Side
These figures come from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey, so both cities are measured the same way.
| Measure | Austin, TX | Corpus Christi, TX |
|---|---|---|
| Population | 979,539 | 317,419 |
| Median household income | $93,658 | $67,394 |
| Median home value | $555,300 | $210,400 |
| Average commute | 23.7 min | 21.3 min |

| State income tax | None | None |

The table shows a big gap in home prices. A budget that buys a small Austin place can often stretch to a yard and an extra bedroom near the bay. Paychecks run lower on the coast, so every dollar saved on the move matters more. Commutes are a bit shorter, and the population skews slightly older. Renting near your new job for a few months lets you learn the neighborhoods first.
Flood coverage is one cost the census leaves out. The City of Corpus Christi notes that homeowners policies usually skip flood damage, and a new flood policy normally waits 30 days before it takes effect. Buy it before your truck rolls, not after a storm forms. The city explains the program on its insure and retrofit page.
Changes to Plan for in Corpus Christi
- I-37 shoulder lanes are striped for hurricane evacuations only
- Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi sits on its own 240-acre island
- Momentum Village parking permits do not cover main campus lots
- Overflow move-in parking sits on Islander Blvd and the Hammerhead Lot
Leaving Austin: Lakeway Pod Rules
Lakeway lets a portable storage unit sit at a home for only 14 days per calendar year, with one more 14-day extension if the Code Official approves it. The unit must stay inside your property lines, never on the street, and Code Compliance needs notice first. Use that window to sort the garage and closets. Every pound you sell or donate before load day trims a weight-based price.
Settling into Corpus Christi Lofts
The city's Downtown Area Development Plan counts 615 new market-rate units across the Cosmopolitan, Atlantic Lofts, Nueces Lofts, Bay Vista and Bay Vista Pointe. The same plan points to Uptown blocks west of Staples and south of Agnes for detached homes. Send us your building manager's contact, elevator rules and loading spot early. Our crew can then stage furniture in the right order for a tight hallway.
Starting a Coastal Bend Hospital Job
CHRISTUS Spohn Shoreline on Elizabeth Street runs a Level II Trauma Center and a Level I Stroke Center. Driscoll Children's Hospital on Alameda Street opened South Texas' first emergency department built just for children. New nurses, techs and residents often arrive on a fixed orientation date. Book a dedicated truck, and we set a delivery day that lands before your first shift.
Gulf Heat on Move Day
NWS Corpus Christi says South Texas highs sit well into the 90s from late April through early October. A closed car can gain 20 degrees in about 10 minutes. Austin bakes too, and a July 22, 2026 warning forecast a heat index up to 115. Ride with pets, medicine and laptops in your cabin. We pad and shrink wrap furniture so sweat and sun stay off the finish.

Austin Team
Your Corpus Christi Move Starts with Our Austin Crew
Our Austin team reviews your walkthrough, then matches the truck and crew size to the stairs, carry distance and weight it shows. They set departure so the truck clears the I-35 and Loop 410 overlap in San Antonio outside the worst traffic. Our Google profile is a service-area listing for Austin and nearby towns, so we come to your home instead of asking you to visit an office. Call (512) 595-3003 Monday to Saturday from 7:30 AM to 7:30 PM; the line is closed Sunday. While your goods ride south, your coordinator watches the truck's progress, answers your texts and keeps you posted on arrival timing at your new door.

Your price moves only if the job itself changes, and only after you sign off on the new figure in writing.
