San Antonio is a common retirement and downsizing run for us — Hill Country living and a lower cost of living than Dallas draw a steady number of families every year. At around 275 miles and four and a half hours south on I-35, it’s far enough to need real long-distance planning but not so far that scheduling gets complicated.
We price it as a binding job: a walk-through or video survey, a written quote covering everything from the piano to the last box, and that number is what’s due on delivery day.
Does the same crew handle the whole route? Yes, every time. GQS doesn’t split long-distance jobs between a local loading crew and a separate long-haul driver, and we don’t route shipments through a reload facility. The people who wrap your furniture in Dallas are the people who set it back down in San Antonio.
Dallas → San Antonio — Estimated Cost
| Home Size | Estimated Flat Rate | Typical Transit |
|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1BR | $1,100 | Same day to next morning |
| 2BR | $1,850 | Next day |
| 3BR+ | $2,900 | Next day, sometimes into a second day for a full house |
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 San Antonio?
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 San Antonio — 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.
