We are a licensed carrier, not a broker, so the company that quotes your move is the same one whose trucks and crews arrive. Our people run the San Antonio and Houston lanes every week, and they know the stretches that slow down near the Grand Parkway. We also publish our route prices, so you can check them before you ever call. See how our long distance service from San Antonio works.
San Antonio to Houston Movers
Moving from San Antonio to Houston
Our San Antonio to Houston movers plan the I-10 East drive so your truck reaches the west edge of Harris County before evening traffic stacks up. A short video tour of your rooms gives us what we need to write one firm price, and that number holds unless your list grows. Tell us your date to begin.

The I-10 Run
San Antonio to Houston: The Drive East
From your San Antonio driveway, the truck picks up I-10 East and holds it all the way to Houston. Farm country rolls by until Schulenburg, a town at the I-10 and Highway 77 junction that bills itself as the halfway point. Past the Grand Parkway, the road turns into the Katy Freeway. Its stretch from SH 99 to North Eldridge Parkway ranked 29th on the 2025 Texas 100 congestion list. We pick a departure that clears it outside rush hours, with fuel and a crew break set before Katy.
Loading in King William takes a little homework. The city made it San Antonio’s first local historic district in 1968, and its streets follow an irregular grid that shifts near the river. Some river lots run deep, driveway spots change from house to house, and alleys appear only in the southern blocks. Bound for West University Place? That city runs your water, sewer and trash itself. West U will not switch on service during a weekend or on the day you apply, so file ahead or arrive to dry taps.
Before load day, a mover studies your walkthrough video for the carry from door to curb, any stairs and the fragile pieces. That review sets the crew count and the truck size, and it shows where the truck can park on both streets. One coordinator keeps the whole plan and answers your texts. Local details live on our San Antonio moving team page.
Before the Truck Rolls
- Call SAWS on a weekday to close
- Request an early Katy Freeway arrival
- Note Red Line stops near your lease
- Pack rain covers for June arrivals
- Photograph King William porch steps and walkways
- Bring photo ID for West U sign-up
- Label boxes by room and floor
- Ride with your scrubs and badge
Send this list along with your walkthrough video and we will flag any gaps.

How Much Does a San Antonio to Houston Move Cost?
Weight leads the math: we start with what your home ships east, then add the crew and trucks that load requires. Access matters as well, since long carries, stairs and tight parking at either house change labor time. Packing and storage each get a separate line. The total works as a ceiling and stays put unless you add items.
| Home size | Est. weight | Crew | Typical range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio or 1 bedroom | 1,500 to 3,500 lbs | 2 movers, 1 truck | $1,400 to $1,600 |
| 2 to 3 bedrooms | 4,000 to 8,000 lbs | 3 movers, 1 truck | $1,600 to $1,800 |
| 4+ bedrooms | 9,000 to 13,000 lbs | 4 movers, 2 trucks | $1,800 to $2,300 |
Each range covers the crew, the truck, fuel, any Katy Freeway tolls and the full drive to your Houston door. Card payments carry a 2.5% fee.

Leaving San Antonio: Beat Fiesta
Fiesta San Antonio runs April 15 to 25 in 2027, and its parades fill downtown streets. If you plan a spring move, thin out heavy items in March while your weekends are still free. Every bookcase, treadmill or spare bed you sell lowers the weight, and weight drives your price on this route. Pick a load day outside the parade dates so our truck never sits behind barricades.
Settling into Houston's West U
West University Place collects bulk trash at the curb each week on your regular trash day, and the city names chairs and bar stools as examples. That gives you an easy way to clear old furniture once the truck pulls away. Tell your crew which pieces stay on the porch for pickup and which go inside. Send us a rough floor sketch too, so rooms fill in the order you want.
For Texas Medical Center Staff
The Texas Medical Center now covers 54 million developed square feet, and its 37-acre TMC Helix Park campus opened in 2023. Starting a residency or new shift there? The METRORail Red Line stops at TMC Transit Center and Dryden/TMC, and trains run from before 5 a.m. until after midnight. Choose a lease near a Red Line station and share your orientation date with us, so unpacking never collides with your first shift.
June Storms on I-10 and in Houston
June is wet in Houston, with Hobby Airport averaging more than six inches of rain that month and normal highs near 91 degrees. The National Weather Service warns that 2 feet of rushing water can carry away SUVs and trucks. A flooded road means a later arrival, never a risky crossing. Mattresses and sofas ride in plastic covers, and the crew lays floor runners at your door. Your coordinator texts any new arrival time.
Our Services
Long Distance Help for the Houston Run
Six services our San Antonio crews pair with the I-10 drive, from full packing to storage while your Houston lease opens.
Long Distance Moving
One crew loads in San Antonio and the same truck unloads in Houston, with no warehouse handoff along the way. Choose a shared truck for a delivery window or a dedicated truck for a set date.
San Antonio long haul crews
Home Moves of Any Size
From studio apartments to big family homes, we load bedrooms and garages in the order you plan to unpack. Beds and kitchen boxes come off the truck first in Houston.
Residential moving help
Full or Partial Packing
Our packers wrap dishes, art and lamps before the drive. Day-use wardrobe boxes, pads and shrink wrap come with the move, so closets travel on hangers and nothing rattles loose.
Packing before you go
Storage Between Homes
Your Houston closing or lease start may trail your San Antonio move-out. If so, we hold your goods in storage and deliver once the new door opens.

Pianos and Heavy Pieces
Uprights, safes and gym gear get an extra mover, thick padding and straps. We measure stairs and doors at both houses during the walkthrough, so heavy items fit on the first try.

Houston asks a bit more for a house, yet household incomes in the two cities sit close together. That means the same paycheck stretches less against a Houston mortgage, so renting first can make sense while you learn the city. Commutes also run longer in Houston, which makes living near your job or a rail stop worth more. Ages look alike, so you will find young families and busy schools at both ends.
One cost the table skips is utility setup. In West University Place, homeowners pay a $50 connection fee on the first bill, while renters add a $200 deposit on top of that fee. The city returns a renter’s deposit on the final bill. Read the details on the City of West University Place FAQ.

Our Office
Houston Moves Planned on Parliament Street
Our team at 11955 Parliament St, Suite 1308, reviews your walkthrough video and picks the truck size and crew.

Either way, the same planners build your Houston move. Call (210) 944-8858 Monday to Saturday, 7:30 AM to 7:30 PM; we are closed Sunday. Once the truck leaves San Antonio, your coordinator follows it by GPS toward Houston and texts you when the crew is close to your door.
