Evolution is a licensed household goods carrier, not a broker, so the company that prices your move is the company that drives it. Brothers Ryan and Cameron Hughey still run the business, and every mover on staff is screened and trained before joining a crew. You can choose a dedicated truck for a set delivery date or share space to save. See how our long haul moving service from Austin works.

The Drive
Austin to San Antonio Drive Plan
Your truck leaves Austin on I-35 south and stays on that interstate the whole way. It rolls past Buda, Kyle, San Marcos and New Braunfels, then the road becomes the North Pan Am Expressway inside San Antonio. The slow spot sits near the finish. The short I-35 stretch between the two Loop 410 interchanges made the 2025 Texas 100 truck congestion list. We pick a departure that keeps your load out of that stretch at peak commute times. Fuel goes in the night before, so the truck never stops on the way.
South Congress homes come with a parking catch. The city charges for street parking there from 8 a.m. to midnight Monday through Saturday and from 1 p.m. on Sunday. Payment works only through the Park ATX app, with no pay stations on the block. At the other end, Government Hill sits just south of Fort Sam Houston. Many front yards there are fenced, and driveway spots vary from lot to lot, some of them gravel.
Here is how we get ready. Your walkthrough logs heavy pieces, stairs and the gate or curb at each address. From that list we size the crew and the truck, then set a parking plan for both curbs. One coordinator keeps every detail and answers your texts. Learn more about our Austin moving team and service area before you book.
Before the Truck Rolls
- Download Park ATX for South Congress parking
- File your Kyle utility disconnection form
- Run sprinklers on your Austin watering day
- Measure your Government Hill gate width
- Watch NWS winter alerts in late January
- Confirm San Antonio move-in hours with landlord
- Label each box by room and floor
- Photograph electronics wiring before you unplug
Bring this list to your walkthrough so nothing surprises the crew.

Book My Walkthrough Call (512) 595-3003Leaving Austin: Kyle and Buda Homes
Plenty of households heading south start in Kyle or Buda along I-35. If the City of Kyle supplies your water, stopping service takes a signed Disconnection Form plus a photo ID. The office will not take the request by phone. It processes them on weekdays only, so send yours early in the week. Then thin out garage shelves and patio sets, because every pound you ship adds to a weight-based price.
Settling into San Antonio Near Fort Sam
Government Hill grew between 1890 and 1930 alongside Fort Sam Houston. City design guidelines describe bigger lots in the northern part near the post and smaller ones toward the IH-35 access road. Shops cluster along New Braunfels Avenue. Tell us which end your new house sits on. A small southern lot may mean street parking for the truck, while a larger northern lot may leave room on the drive.
Medical Center Hires on a Deadline
The South Texas Medical Center traces back to the San Antonio Medical Foundation, formed in 1947 to bring a medical school and more hospitals to the city. Since the 1950s it has acquired over 600 acres there. Nurses, residents and lab staff joining that campus usually have a fixed first day. Give us your orientation date at the walkthrough and we schedule the unload with time to set up the bedroom first.
January Freezes on the I-35 Corridor
Winter can bite on this route. NWS Austin/San Antonio posted event summaries for winter storms on January 20 to 21, 2025 and January 24 to 25, 2026. San Antonio International Airport also averages close to five January nights at or below freezing. We pad and shrink-wrap every piece against cold and damp. Keep houseplants and paint in your car, and call us early if ice shows up in the forecast.
Route Pricing
What Will Your Austin to San Antonio Move Cost?
Weight drives most of the price on this short run. We add the crew size, the number of trucks, stairs or long carries at either address, and any packing you want. Once the walkthrough is done, that total works as a ceiling. Your bill can come in under it, but it cannot climb 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 | $750 to $950 |
| 2 to 3 bedrooms | 4,000 to 8,000 lbs | 3 movers, 1 truck | $950 to $1,150 |
| 4+ bedrooms | 9,000 to 13,000 lbs | 4 movers, 2 trucks | $1,150 to $1,650 |
Each range covers the crew, the truck, fuel, any tolls and the drive down I-35 to your San Antonio door. Card payments carry a 2.5% fee.

Austin Team
Our Austin Team Starts Your San Antonio Move
The Austin team reviews your walkthrough video and chooses the truck size and crew. It also plans the departure so the truck misses the worst hours on the Loop 410 section of I-35. Our Austin Google listing is a service-area profile. It serves Austin and nearby areas instead of a walk-in storefront, so the crew comes to you for the estimate and the move. Reach the team at (512) 595-3003, Monday to Saturday from 7:30 AM to 7:30 PM. We are closed Sunday. While your goods travel south, your coordinator tracks the truck and texts you arrival timing. The crew also hears about gates or parking before they pull up.

The Evolution moving team was great to work with in moving the heavy stuff from my daughters apartment into temp storage. Very professional, very friendly, and fast, despite how heavy and awkward moving that bookcase down from a 3rd story unit.

Home prices show the widest gap. A dollar stretches much further on a house in San Antonio, so many Austin sellers gain rooms and fill them later. Commute times look close, which means picking a side of town near your hospital, base or campus matters more than the city line. Household pay also runs lower in San Antonio, so weigh an offer letter against local housing costs before you sign a lease.
Property tax shifts too, since each city, school district and county sets its own rate every year. A home with a similar price can carry a different bill across the city line. Check the Texas Comptroller tax rate tables for your exact district before you buy, then ask your lender to confirm the total.
San Antonio Changes to Plan For
- UTSA and UT Health San Antonio now operate as one school, UT San Antonio
- Bexar over-65 tax ceilings also cover City of San Antonio and Alamo Colleges taxes
- Bexar CAD asks for a Texas license showing the new address to file
- Government Hill streets follow a regular grid with historic street signs
