The bigger choice is local versus long-distance. Local moves within San Marcos, Kyle, Buda, or New Braunfels are billed hourly with a travel fee added on top. Once a move crosses into long-distance territory, pricing switches entirely to a distance-and-weight model instead of an hourly rate, so get quotes under the correct category before comparing them.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Hays County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 22% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
