Best movers in Amarillo, Texas

Planning a move in Amarillo takes time and patience. Sometimes, those are hard to come by. That’s why the team at Yahoo Local stepped up to the challenge to help you find the best movers in Amarillo. We reviewed each company’s licenses, Better Business Bureau (BBB) status and services to create this list of trusted movers. We then called each of our featured movers to get more information on hourly rates, background-check policies and deposits, so you can make an informed decision about which mover is right for you.

Quick overview

The best moving company in Amarillo for YOU

Finding a mover you trust with all of your belongings and that treats them as if they were their own is tough. When comparing your options, consider the company’s experience, hourly rate and what’s included in the price. Some companies will nickel and dime you, while others offer an all-inclusive rate.

Ask if the company offers additional services you need, such as packing or storage. Reading customer reviews can also help you get an idea of the true experience. Before making your final decision, verify that the mover is licensed and insured to operate legally in Texas.

Our top pick is Bekins A&W Transfer & Storage . It has served Amarillo for more than 60 years and continues to earn high customer ratings for dependability and care. It’s a great fit no matter how far you’re moving. Bomb City Movers is another strong choice due to its experienced crew, clear pricing and ability to handle heavy or specialty items.

It’s worth noting that moving services are limited in Amarillo, and only five local companies met Yahoo Local’s requirements for ranking. As such, these companies scored lower than what we typically aim to feature, but they are still the best options overall for moves in the Amarillo area.

BLVD Moving is the best national moving company

At Yahoo Local, we’re focused on making it easier for people to choose a mover they can feel good about.

Texas moving FAQs

What info should you have when requesting an estimate?

When you ask for a moving estimate, be ready to share the basics. Movers will need your pickup and drop-off addresses, your move date and home size. It will also want to know if you have stairs or are moving large items like a piano or refrigerator. The mover will also ask if you want to add on services such as packing or storage.

Some companies request a virtual or in-home walkthrough to make a list of everything you plan to move. The more details you’re able to give, the easier it will be for the mover to give you an accurate price .

What should you know about packing and storage in Texas?

Packing takes time and energy that you may or may not have. You can choose to do it yourself or hire a professional moving team to take care of it for you. If you pack yourself, use sturdy boxes, seal them well and label each clearly. Movers can save time by knowing exactly where each box should go, such as the kitchen or bedroom. Professional packing will cost more but it also saves you effort and can help prevent damage.

Storage is another thing to think about. The Texas heat can warp or fade items such as wood furniture, electronics and artwork. Choose climate-controlled storage if you plan to put away your belongings for a while to protect them from the outside conditions.

What's different about condo and apartment moving in Texas?

Condo and apartment moves often take more coordination. You may need to reserve an elevator or set a specific time for movers to arrive. Some properties only allow moves during specific hours, so it helps to check early. Also, ask about parking and if there’s a designated place for the moving truck or if you need a permit or specific parking pass.

Ask your property manager if your movers will need to show a Certificate of Insurance (COI) , as you’ll likely need this before moving day. Knowing these rules ahead of time will help your move go smoothly.

You can verify your mover with the Truck Stop Motor Carrier Lookup tool . If a mover refuses to share its number, consider another moving company. You can read more in our full guide to Texas moving company licensing and regulations .

Tipping is a personal choice, but it is a great way to express gratitude to your moving crew for their hard work. A typical range is 10% to 20% of the total bill.
