Austin pulls people out of Dallas for tech and state-agency jobs about as often as rising rents there push people back the other way — either direction, it’s one of the shorter long-distance runs we quote, a shade under 200 miles and roughly three and a half hours south on I-35.
Short mileage doesn’t mean we treat it like a local move. A Dallas-to-Austin job still gets a binding, written price before moving day: everything you’re bringing gets counted and priced once, and that figure is what you sign for and what you pay, no matter how the drive goes.
Garrett built GQS around that idea after years of watching bigger van lines requote customers mid-route. One truck, one crew, from your old door in Dallas to your new one in Austin — nobody hands your shipment to a different driver partway down I-35, and nothing gets reweighed at a stop you don’t control.
Dallas → Austin — Estimated Cost
| Home Size | Estimated Flat Rate | Typical Transit |
|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1BR | $900 | Same day |
| 2BR | $1,500 | Same day to next morning |
| 3BR+ | $2,350 | Next day |
Treat these numbers as a starting budget — the binding figure gets locked once someone from our office has walked through your home size and the access at both ends with you.
Moving Dallas to Austin?
One employee crew — usually Ariana or Garrett on this stretch — handles both ends of the haul, from loading at our Westmoreland Road yard to carrying it in at the other end
The same people who load the truck in Dallas ride the whole route and unload it themselves in Austin — nobody hands your things off to a different crew partway, there’s no reweigh at a scale, and there’s no broker splitting the job between two outfits. Between them, Ariana and Garrett have covered enough of these runs that a same-day local job and a multi-state haul both get the same treatment.
