The crew that tours your home works for us, drives our truck and unloads in Austin, because Evolution is a licensed household goods carrier and not a broker. The founders still run the company and answer for every job. Released value coverage comes free, and Worry Free upgrades are there if you want more protection. Start with our San Antonio long distance crews and get a price you can hold us to.

Road Notes
San Antonio to Austin Corridor Guide
Your truck leaves San Antonio on I-35 north and stays on it all the way to Austin. The first test comes early. TxDOT and the Texas A&M Transportation Institute rank the stretch from Loop 1604 to FM 3009 among the state’s most congested segments. It sits even higher on their truck list. We roll before the morning build or after it fades. Past that point the interstate crosses New Braunfels, San Marcos, Kyle and Buda. Fuel goes in the tank the night before, so the crew never stops with your load on a busy frontage road.
Loading near the Pearl takes its own plan. Residences such as The Can Plant, Cellars and Coopers Row share those grounds with a Saturday farmers market. We aim Pearl pickups at other days when your lease allows it. Up north, many blocks around the UT campus sit inside the orange zone of Austin’s Residential Permit Parking program, where curb space is held for permit holders. We confirm your street’s rules ahead of time and decide where the truck will stand.
Before load day, our team studies the walkthrough video for stairs, elevator bookings and furniture that must come apart. Crew size follows your inventory, not a guess. One coordinator keeps the parking plan for both curbs and answers your texts until the last box lands. Our San Antonio moving team works this lane often, so the plan comes from routine rather than theory.
Your Lane Prep List
- Skip Saturday load days at the Pearl
- Clear the Loop 1604 stretch early
- Confirm your Austin block's permit color
- Time family moves to Northside ISD breaks
- Label boxes by Austin room name
- Set a morning start in July
- Text photos of tight stairs early
- Note UT-area permits expire July 31
Each item ties to something we checked for this exact lane.

How Much Does a San Antonio to Austin Move Cost?
Your price starts with weight, since pounds decide crew size and whether one truck or two makes the trip. Next we add access at each curb and any packing you hand us. The number we write down acts as a ceiling. Your bill can come in lower, never higher, unless you add items.
| Your home | Approx. load | Team | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
Every range covers the crew, the truck, fuel, any tolls and the full drive up I-35, plus pads and shrink wrap. Balances paid by card carry a 2.5% fee.

Expect to pay more for the same square footage in Austin, and choose your first address with that in mind. Plenty of newcomers rent near work or campus for one lease term before they buy. Households there earn more on average, yet housing takes a bigger bite. Commute times look alike on paper, so your daily drive depends on which side of town you pick.
One cost the table skips is curb parking. Austin’s Residential Permit Parking program covers streets around the UT campus. It charges $60 for a first resident permit and $90 for a visitor hangtag, plus 8.25% sales tax. See whether your new block falls inside a zone on the City of Austin permit parking page.
Austin Realities to Plan Around
- Professional and business services lead every other job sector in the Austin metro.
- The first 100-degree day shows up around July 9 in an average Austin summer.
- Clear winter nights can run 10 degrees colder at the airport than at Camp Mabry.
- Campus visitors park in UT's 13 garages, one of them named the San Antonio Garage.
Leaving San Antonio: Shed It Early
Every pound rides on the price, so trim the pile before the walkthrough, not after it. The City of San Antonio collects bulky items at the curb twice a year, and its My Collection Day tool shows your date. Missed it? The city also runs four bulky item centers. Haul the old sofa or broken shelving there first, and your quote reflects the lighter load we actually carry north.
Settling into Hyde Park or Aldridge
Austin lists Hyde Park and Aldridge Place among its eight local historic districts. City preservation staff review exterior changes to buildings 45 years or older, so hold off on porch or fence fixes until after move day. Tell us about narrow front walks, deep porches and rear sheds. We pad railings and door frames so older trim finishes the day the way it started.
Moving for a Job or Class at UT
UT Austin reports 55,172 students enrolled for fall 2026 and 4,693 faculty across 441 acres of main campus. Residence hall check-in asks for a UT ID or a government photo ID, and only residents may check out carts. That is why housing staff suggest bringing your own dolly. Faculty and graduate students get a full household load. For a hall move, we stage boxes at the curb.
Spring Storms on the I-35 Run
The weather service puts Austin's severe season mainly in March through May, with large hail and strong wind as the usual threats. Mornings bring their own trouble when Gulf moisture rises over the Balcones Escarpment and leaves low clouds, fog and drizzle. Our crew pads and shrink wraps every piece, bags mattresses, and keeps the ramp closed while a cell passes. Your goods ride dry.
