Use the tips below to find an Austin moving company you can trust.
Get Recommendations
- Hearing what past customers have to say about their experiences with a moving company is one of the best ways to quickly pare down your list of movers. See if your friends, family, or co-workers have moved recently—they may be able to recommend a good local mover and steer you clear of any companies you’ll want to avoid.
- Check out online reviews. Keep in mind that most companies will publish positive testimonials on their own websites, so look beyond those to other sources, such as Google. Make note of which companies take the time to respond to negative reviews and offer to rectify any mistakes they may have made, indicating these movers care about their customers and reputation.
- Take time to visit sites such as protectyourmove.gov, a consumer protection website offered by the Federal Carrier Safety Administration (FCSA).

Local Austin Moving Company FAQ
If you have some flexibility in booking a moving day, it’s best to avoid the busy season from May through September. If, however, you do need to move between late spring and early fall, try to get on a mover’s schedule as far in advance as you can. Otherwise, we recommend booking a mover four to six weeks ahead of the date you want to move.
Rogue moving companies are here one day and gone the next, taking advantage of unsuspecting consumers who may have been lured in by rock-bottom prices. You can get a good idea of companies you should avoid by watching for these signs that they may not be reputable:
- The company doesn’t have a physical address, website, or any other type of online presence.
- They ask you for a payment upfront, which is not a standard moving industry practice.
- You can’t get a moving quote in writing.
- The company only accepts cash, which is a serious sign of fraud.
- The company gives you an estimate without doing a virtual walkthrough or an in-person survey, neither of which is sufficient for arriving at an accurate price.
In addition to checking online reviews and finding out what type of certifications or endorsements a moving company has, you can ask each moving company these questions to determine if they’re right for your move:
- How will you calculate my moving estimate?
- Will my estimate omit any fees or costs that I’ll be charged for later?
- How do you handle lost or damaged items?
- Do you have storage facilities, and are they secure?
- How do you vet your moving crews and drivers?
- Who will be available if I have questions during my move?
