A San Marcos move comes down to a few clear choices, and each one changes the final bill.

ItemTypical Cost
Hourly rate (2-3 person crew)$150 - $210 per hour
Studio / 1-Bedroom$300 - $600
2-Bedroom$700 - $1,400
3-Bedroom$1,000 - $2,000
4+ Bedroom$1,500 - $3,500+

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.

Had a different moving company turn out to be scammers, which made figuring out the packing and moving extremely stressful. Canceled them and got a U-Haul and hired Bobcat Movers to just help pack up everything and load the truck. From start to finish, the process was extremely easy and reliable. Pr...

Scott and Ezekiel love what they do. They were top notch expedient and professional. They tackled one 16 ft POD in just over half an hour in seasonal high heat and never complained with no damage goods. The operations personnel (Jennie) heard and met all my needs with instant response having giving...

We recently used Bobcat Movers for our move in Austin. Despite being in San Marcos, the cost for using Bobcat was still cheaper than most quotes from Austin movers. This is not my first time using Bobcat Movers. The service is prompt, courteous, and the interactions always pleasant. Won't be the las...

Bobcat movers came through for me at the last minute! The process was seamless and the process was reasonable. Elijah and Ke’Shawn were kind and took the time to ensure all items needing moved were securely packed in our van and car. I’d highly recommend this team to anyone in need of a move!

Bobcat Movers was awesome! They were so quick, careful with our property, and friendly. We had them put together a new bed, which was so helpful. They took all the trash and boxes we were able to unpack while they were putting together the bed. Scott and Chris were the best!

Households arriving from another state report $107,186 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Texas report $86,083. Long-distance arrivals are the higher-budget half of the market.

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.

How much truck space do you need?

I’m moving a that’s .

A moving truck filling up as you change the options
1,150
cubic feet — what a local crew loads
8,050 lb what a long-distance carrier quotes on
26 ft rental truck, if you drive it yourself

Industry rules of thumb — about seven pounds per cubic foot, and published rental-truck capacities. Not our carrier records, not a quote. Bring both numbers to the call and what you get back will finally be comparable.
