Looking for movers in San Antonio who show up on time and stick to the price? Our Alamo City crews handle local, long distance, packing, and office moves, from King William bungalows and Pearl District lofts to Stone Oak two-stories and new builds in Alamo Ranch, with one written price before the first box moves.
Your San Antonio price can go up when a move has:
Two hour minimum on every San Antonio local move, plus travel time. Moves over 50 miles are priced flat, not by the hour. Interest-free financing through Wisetack: 0% APR, soft credit pull, no fees. A 2.5% fee applies to final balances paid by card.
| Home size | Crew | Hourly rate |
|---|---|---|
| Studio or one bedroom | 2 Movers | $150 / hr |
| Large one to three bedrooms | 3 Movers | $210 / hr |
| Three to four bedrooms | 4 Movers | $300 / hr |
| Five bedrooms or specialty jobs | 5 Movers | $368 / hr |
Moving out of San Antonio? Our long distance movers take you from the Alamo City to Houston, Dallas, El Paso, or any of the 48 contiguous states. You get one flat price in writing before load day, not a guess based on weight. The same Evolution crew that loads your San Antonio home drives the truck whenever the route allows, so your things never get handed off to a stranger.
Long Distance Movers
Packing is the part of a move most people dread, so let our San Antonio packers handle it. We bring new boxes, packing paper, tape, and wardrobe cartons, then wrap dishes, glass, and art with extra care. Every box is labeled by room so it lands in the right spot. Pick full packing, just a few rooms, or fragile items only, and we can unpack at your new home too.
Packing Services
Moving an office, clinic, or store in San Antonio? We plan the move around your business hours, with night and weekend crews so your doors stay open. Desks, computers, files, and shelves are tagged and placed where they belong, so your team gets back to work fast. From Downtown towers to offices near the Medical Center, one coordinator handles every detail.
Commercial Movers
Pianos, gun safes, pool tables, and gym equipment need more than strong arms. Our San Antonio crew uses piano boards, padded straps, and the right number of movers for each piece. Before move day we measure doorways, stairs, and tight turns, which matters in older Monte Vista and Alamo Heights homes. Your heavy items arrive safe, and so do your floors and walls.
Piano Movers
Already have a rental truck, PODS container, or storage unit? Book our San Antonio labor only crew and skip the heavy lifting. We show up with dollies, moving pads, and straps, then load or unload everything and pack it tight so nothing shifts on the road. It is a simple, lower-cost choice for DIY movers across Bexar County who still want trained hands on the hard part.
Labor Only Movers
From a studio near the Pearl to a family home in Stone Oak or Alamo Ranch, our San Antonio residential movers handle homes of every size. Furniture is wrapped in pads, beds and tables are taken apart and rebuilt, and floors and door frames are covered at both homes. You get a clear written price before move day and a friendly crew that treats your home like their own.
Residential MoversTypical Cost
The rate card shows the hourly price. This table turns it into a real total using the median billed hours for each home size at the San Antonio crew rate, so you can check any quote before you sign it.
| Home size | Typical hours | Typical total |
|---|---|---|
| Studio or one bedroom | About 3 hours | $450 – $800 |
| Two to three bedrooms | 4-5 hours | $650 – $1,200 |
| Four bedrooms or more | 6-7 hours | $1,400 – $3,100 |
Compare
Both ways of pricing are common in San Antonio. Look past the lowest hourly number and ask what happens to your total if the day runs long.
| Factor | Evolution not-to-exceed | Open hourly (typical) |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing basis | Your inventory, access, and services | Crew size times hours worked |
| Works best for | Most local moves and every long distance move | Very small or hard-to-predict jobs |
| Traffic on I-35 or Loop 410 | Does not change your cap | Adds billable time |
| Adding items on the day | Needs a new written scope you approve | Just adds more hours |
| Knowing your total | Clear before move day | Only known at the end |
| What you need first | A video or in-home walkthrough | Good info on stairs, parking, and crew size |

About Evolution Moving Company
San Antonio is one of our busiest home markets, and this city shapes how we work. We know the lane closures on I-35 north of downtown, the narrow streets in King William, the gate codes in Stone Oak, and what August heat does to a crew by noon. Our movers live here, shop here, and cheer for the Spurs here. When you book us, you get neighbors who treat your home like it sits on their own street.
Your San Antonio quote is based on:
Your price only changes if the job changes, like extra items, a new address, another stop, or harder access than planned. We write down any change, and you approve it before we do the work.

Our Second Location
Our Culebra Road office puts a crew minutes from Alamo Ranch, Westover Hills, Helotes, Leon Valley, and the fast-growing neighborhoods along Loop 1604 West. Same trained movers and the same written pricing, just a shorter drive to your door.
West Side moves we handle most:
Before Moving Day
Check if the truck needs a permit
On most San Antonio neighborhood streets, a moving truck can park while it loads with no permit. Downtown, along the River Walk, and at the Pearl, a truck that blocks a lane or metered spaces may need a City of San Antonio right-of-way permit. Send us the address and we check it for you.
Plan around traffic
I-35 north of downtown has ongoing lane work, US 281 backs up toward Stone Oak at rush hour, and Loop 1604 West slows near Alamo Ranch. We set early starts for those areas so the truck is loaded before traffic builds.
Confirm building rules
Ask both buildings or HOAs about:
Tell us about stairs and access
Homes in King William, Monte Vista, and Tobin Hill are often older, with steep stairs, pier-and-beam floors, and long walks from the curb. Gated streets in Stone Oak and The Dominion need a gate code or a name on the guard list. Sharing this early lets us send the right truck and crew.
Watch the busy dates
Fiesta in April closes streets for parades near downtown and Broadway, and military PCS season at JBSA peaks from May through August. If your date falls in either window, book three to four weeks ahead.
Beat the heat
San Antonio summers often pass 100 degrees. From June to September our crews start at 7 a.m., and heat-sensitive things like candles, vinyl records, and electronics go on the truck last and come off first.
Service Area
Our Parliament Street and Culebra Road offices cover all of San Antonio and the Bexar County suburbs. Access changes from street to street; the rate card does not.
San Antonio ZIP codes in the 782 series, plus nearby Bexar, Comal, and Guadalupe County towns. Not sure you are covered? Call and we will tell you in a minute.
Coverage
Basic released value coverage comes free on every San Antonio move. Upgrades are flat prices, not a percentage of what you own, and the $100 tier is the one most customers pick.
| Coverage tier | Price | Protects up to |
|---|---|---|
| Worry Free Basic | $100 | $2,000 |
| Worry Free Plus | $200 | $5,000 |
| Worry Free Premium | $300 | $10,000 |
| Worry Free Platinum | $1,000 | $50,000 |
| Worry Free Platinum | $2,500 | $100,000 |
Pick your tier before you sign the bill of lading, and ask how boxes you pack yourself are covered.

Evolution Moving Cares
Every good move starts with the people doing it. Our San Antonio movers are full-time Evolution employees who train together and work as a team, not a crew pulled together the night before.
Many of them grew up here, from the South Side to Converse. They know how to carry a dresser up the narrow stairs of a Monte Vista home, how to back a truck into a Stone Oak cul-de-sac, and why a friendly face matters on a hot July morning.
The names you read in our reviews, like Tommy, Josias, and Richard, are the same people who show up at your door.
Flat rate, a delivery window in writing, and one crew where the route allows. Transit times are typical for San Antonio departures, and any trip over 250 miles includes an overnight stop.
Local Information
Quick facts people ask us about before they pick a neighborhood.
| Measure | San Antonio |
|---|---|
| Overall cost of living | About 12% below US average |
| Median home price | About $290,000 |
| One-bedroom rent, downtown | About $1,300 / mo |
| Sales tax | 8.25% |

San Antonio is one of the most affordable big cities in Texas. Homes cost far less than in Austin or Dallas, and rent in suburbs like Helotes or Schertz can drop to around $950 a month.
The line to plan for is property tax, which runs about 2.1% of assessed value in much of Bexar County. With no state income tax, most families still come out ahead.
The Alamo sits downtown, and the four Spanish missions south of the city form a UNESCO World Heritage Site you can reach by bike on the Mission Reach trail.
Miles of shaded paths along the San Antonio River link restaurants, hotels, and the Museum Reach, with river boats running most of the day.
The old Pearl Brewery is now a food hall, a weekend farmers market, and home to the Texas campus of the Culinary Institute of America.
Brackenridge Park holds the San Antonio Zoo, the Japanese Tea Garden, and the Witte Museum, all a short drive from Alamo Heights.
Six Flags Fiesta Texas near UTSA and SeaWorld on the West Side make San Antonio a favorite for families with kids.
Fiesta San Antonio fills April with parades, music, and food across the city, and Spurs fans pack the Frost Bank Center on game nights.
San Antonio keeps growing as families come for jobs, military careers, and more home for the money. New neighborhoods keep opening along Loop 1604 and in towns like Schertz and Boerne, while older areas near downtown keep their charm.
Getting around. Loop 410, Loop 1604, I-10, I-35, and US 281 carry most cross-town traffic. VIA buses cover the city, but most people here still drive.
What to set up first. CPS Energy handles electricity and gas and SAWS handles water for most homes inside the city. Texas gives new residents 90 days to switch a driver license and 30 days to register a car after a safety inspection.
Weather. Summers are long and hot, and spring can bring hail and flash floods in low-water crossings, so check your route after heavy rain.
