Houston to Austin movers for households heading west into the Hill Country. One crew loads in Houston, makes the drive and unloads in Austin the same afternoon, so your furniture never changes hands along the way.
The US-290 And SH-71 Run
Roughly 165 miles and two and a half to three hours in normal traffic. Most loads take US-290 through Brenham and Elgin. Deliveries to South Austin, Bee Cave or the airport side move better on SH-71, which also keeps the truck off central streets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about moving with Amazing Movers in Houston, TX.
Can an Austin move be done in one day?
Almost always. The drive is under three hours, so a morning load in Houston reaches Austin by early afternoon and the crew has beds rebuilt and boxes placed by evening.
Does one crew handle both ends?
Yes. The team that packs the truck in Houston drives US-290 and unloads in Austin. There is no transfer, no terminal stop and no outside company touching your shipment.
What do I need to do before the truck arrives?
Have cartons sealed and labeled by room, drawers cleared of liquids, and a path clear from the door to the street. Our crew handles disassembly of beds and tables, so leave that to us.
What about access at the Austin address?
Downtown towers and West Campus buildings assign move windows and elevator time, and some garages will not clear a full-size truck. Share the address and building rules early so we plan curb space and equipment.
