Moving from Phoenix to Austin, TX

Trading the Valley of the Sun for the Live Music Capital of the World? It’s a big move, and we know exactly what it takes to get you there.

Since 2005, Camelback Moving (US DOT #1635834) has completed over 70,000 relocations by doing things differently. Our motto is simple: Preserving Sanity One Move at a Time. If you want a reliable, transparent, and hassle-free move from Arizona to Texas, our crews are ready to handle the heavy lifting.

The Journey: Distance, Drive Time, & Logistics

  1. When you hire a moving company, you want to know exactly where your belongings are and how long they’ll be on the road.

    • Distance: Approximately 1,000 miles.

    • Drive Time: Roughly 15 hours of straight driving time.

    • The Route: The most direct path takes our trucks straight down the I-10 East. We head through Tucson, cut across the long stretch of West Texas through El Paso, and take the 290 right into the Texas Hill Country to Austin.

    At Camelback Moving, our fleet has logged nearly 6 million miles. Our drivers know the I-10 corridor like the back of their hands. Better yet, we offer much shorter itineraries and delivery windows compared to massive national van lines, meaning your life isn’t put on hold waiting for your furniture to arrive.

How Much Does it Cost to Move from Phoenix to Austin?

We believe in complete transparency. We publish our rates and policies right on our website because we have absolutely nothing to hide.

The exact cost of your move to Austin will depend on a few factors, primarily the total weight/volume of your belongings and whether you need our crews to handle the packing.

While every move is unique, we operate on flat-rate binding estimates for long-distance moves. This means we give you a guaranteed dollar amount for your move. You can budget effectively knowing there won’t be surprise charges or hidden fees on unloading day. Our pricing includes the preparation of large items, a complete inventory, disassembly and reassembly of standard furniture, loading, unloading, and fuel costs.
