Bastrop Movers

Our Everyday Rate in Bastrop:

• $249/hour for a 3-man professional moving crew. Equivalent to $83 per mover.
• Weekday Savings: Move Monday–Thursday and save up to $30/hour.
• Rates as low as $219/hour for the same crew and service.

Why We Offer Weekday Discounts:
Weekdays are lower-volume moving days.

With costs rising everywhere, we use those slower days to offer lower prices to customers who are flexible.
Same crew. Same service. Lower cost when demand is lower.

If you're trying to save on moving costs, the best time to book your movers is between Monday and Thursday. Weekday rates are more budget-friendly because weekends fill up fast and tend to cost more, sometimes up to 11% higher.

Real Example:
Moving from a 4-bedroom home located 25–30 miles away?

Weekend move: around $2,200

Weekday move: closer to $2,000

Moving mid-week is a solid way to make your move more affordable, without sacrificing experience and trust.

For small moves, our moving tip to you is DIY might be cheaper. U-Haul rentals start at $19.95/day, but don’t forget per-mile fees ($0.59–$0.99) and equipment costs.

For larger moves, hiring professional local movers can be more cost-effective. With rates from $209 to $239 /hour, our movers handle the heavy lifting, logistics, and time, saving you stress and surprise expenses.

When you factor in time, effort, and hidden costs, a stress-free moving experience with pros is often the better value.

From what we've seen, moving a 2,000 sq ft home in the Austin area typically costs between $1,000 and $1,500. The total depends on:

The distance between the home and the moving truck

Whether the furniture needs assembly or disassembly

If the entire home is being moved, or just selected rooms or items

Total volume of belongings

If your belongings are packed and ready to be loaded. More ready equals more efficient.

The moving industry has had problems with fly-by-night moving companies. So, as you start researching and shopping for Austin movers, remember to check for the following:

• Check for the basics, like proper Texas DMV licensing and insurance

• Obtain at least 3 in-person or virtual estimates to compare offers

• Read reviews for both 3 Men Movers and other moving companies, using Google, Yelp, and other community-driven platforms.

• They have experienced movers and don't use day laborers. We don't use day laborers or anyone who isn't trained on the Perfect Move.

• The move coordinator should have good communication skills and be well-versed in asking you questions about your specific needs.

• Ask about the moving company's on-time rate for their movers.

• Ask for details on how specialty items are handled and protected.

• If possible, start packing at least a few weeks in advance

• Focus on purging and donating items you don't need prior to your move.

• Create a plan for your pets and children during the process to reduce stressful and potentially unsafe situations.

• Label, pack, and set aside fragile or expensive specialty items. Then on moving day, communicate these items to your moving team.

• Check our blog in the resources section for more moving tips to make life easier and your moving process more efficient and affordable.

• If moving from an apartment, don't forget to reserve the elevator or any parking requirements/permissions ahead of your move date.

Our Austin movers are all trained in how to properly protect, pack, and label your stuff. Use our guys and gals for as little as 2 hours, or to pack and stage your whole house or apartment. Our packing crews provide the following:

• All proper packing materials - bubble wrap, paper, labels, and pens to protect and identify what the boxes' contents are and where they belong.

• Boxes- No additional trips to Home Depot. Pay for the boxes you use and save money and time on trips to the store.

• Full wrapping, protecting, labeling, and staging of your belongings.

• Removal of boxes used if you book our packing team to unpack at your new home. No waiting on the garbage guys to pick up the recycling, or needing to take the boxes somewhere yourself.

While 3 Men Movers performs mostly local moving services, we also help perform long-distance relocations. Most Austin moving companies consider a long-distance move to be more than 100 miles.

So when comparing other moving companies, know your needs first. If you need cross-country movers, we're probably not the most competitive. But if you're moving from the greater Austin area to other areas in central Texas, or further south to Houston, we perform hundreds of these types of moves each year.
