Best moving companies in Killeen, Texas

Einstein Moving Co. is the best overall Killeen moving company

Einstein Moving Co. was founded by lifelong friends Paul Moring and Cameron Brown, who met in Kindergarten and later attended Texas A&M University together. After working together for another mover, they saw how stressful and outdated the process could be. That experience inspired them to build a company focused on better communication, smoother systems and friendly service.

You can get a quote online through Einstein's automated system or contact the company to get a moving estimate. For a typical 1,500-square-foot home, the company estimated the move to take between six and eight hours with two movers and cost between $1,200 and $1,600.

The company charges $100 per mover per hour, totaling $200 per hour for a two-person crew. If your move goes beyond the "free service zone," which ranges from 10 to 15 miles from the branch, you pay a travel fee. The cost varies by distance, but it added $415 to our estimate. There is a two-and-a-half-hour minimum, so you can expect to pay at least $500 for your move plus a travel fee based on distance. There's no required deposit to book your move.

Services offered

• Statewide residential moving

• Office moving

• Packing services

• Storage services

Outside of the travel fee, everything else is included, such as shrink wrap, pads, bands, taxes, insurance and credit card processing fees. Einstein moves include a standard "No Worries Damage Coverage," which covers up to $2,000 per move for any damage caused by its team during the move. All movers are background-checked and full-time employees who have received professional training.

This Killeen mover accepts all major credit cards without an extra fee. Einstein does not accept cash or checks. There is flexibility for those who need to pay by check for a commercial or office relocation, but contact the office first to confirm.

Einstein Moving has high review scores across platforms, with five stars on Google (260 reviews), a 4.6 rating on Yelp (23 reviews) and a 4.9 rating on Angi (61 reviews). It's not a BBB-accredited business , but it still has an A+ rating. There's been one complaint on the platform in the past three years, but it has been resolved.

The local branch is located at 901 US 183 N, Liberty Hill, Texas 78642. It's open from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekends. Call 737-257-6613 or get an online estimate on the company's website.

Customer testimonial

Juan & Luis with Square Cow "Moo"vers were punctual and very kind hard workers who helped us with a significant cross-country move across multiple states. They treated our belongings with care and helped to disassemble and reassemble some of our larger items (beds, kitchen table) which was very helpful. They work extremely hard and kept positive spirits throughout it all, even with all of our stairs. Very grateful for Juan & Luis and our Square Cow Mooving team. - Phylicia T., Google reviews (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)

BLVD Moving is the best national moving company

At Yahoo Local, we're here to help you make confident decisions about your move. We love supporting local businesses, but depending on how far you're going, a national moving company may be the smarter choice, especially for long-distance relocations. If you're comparing options, take a look at our guide on local vs. national movers . If you decide to go with a national provider, BLVD Moving is our top pick .

BLVD Moving operates out of four California locations and serves both local and long-distance routes throughout the U.S. It's an independent, family-run company that uses its own trucks and full-time employees. According to its terms , it may also use subcontractors or agents for certain jobs, which is a standard approach in the moving industry during high-demand periods.

We asked BLVD Moving for a quote on a 500-mile move involving around 1,340 cubic feet of belongings, or roughly what you'd expect for a three-bedroom house without major appliances. The estimated price was about $6,700, which is consistent with rates from other national movers. It requires a 33% deposit to reserve your spot, with 50% of the remaining balance due at pickup. The rest is paid upon delivery.

Services offered

• Local and long-distance moves

• Residential, office and commercial moves

• Packing services

• Storage

• Financing

If your plans change, BLVD Moving offers a full refund on your deposit as long as you cancel at least two full business days before pickup. Delivery windows range from two to 21 business days depending on distance. That window starts on your selected delivery date, so once you're ready, you might wait just over a month for everything to arrive.

The company suggests booking at least 30 days in advance, or sooner if you're planning a move during peak seasons like summer or at the start or end of a month. (You can also read our complete guide on the best and worst times to move .) Getting a quote is simple: you can set up a virtual walkthrough or submit an inventory form online. BLVD also provides financing for qualified customers, with interest starting at 0%.

BLVD Moving is accredited by the BBB and holds a B rating , with 95 complaints currently on file. While that number may seem high, it's fairly typical for national moving companies. It also holds a 4.4-star average on Google (1,267 reviews) and a 2.3-star rating on Yelp (377 reviews). All of its movers are employees who pass background checks.

The company's headquarters is located at 21622 Plummer St., Chatsworth, Calif., 91311. It's open daily from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. local time. You can contact BLVD Moving at 844-274-0500 or request a quote online .

Texas moving FAQs

What info should you have when requesting an estimate?

Movers typically need to know similar details to offer an estimate, such as your current and future address, the size of your home, and what you plan to move. Some movers get more into details and ask about the parking situation, usage of stairs and if you're moving any heavy or oversized items.

You should also consider whether you need additional services, such as packing or storage. Knowing this in advance can help you pick a company that supports your needs and get a more accurate estimate with everything included. For more, read our guide to get a moving estimate .

What should you know about packing and storage in Texas?

The extreme heat in Texas and unpredictable winters can be hard on furniture, electronics and antiques. If you need to store items during or between moves, we suggest going with a temperature-controlled storage option . It keeps your belongings protected from extreme temperatures, humidity and other outside conditions that can cause damage.

For packing, you can do it yourself or hire your moving crew to handle it . Packing can be expensive but potentially worth it if you don't have time, don't want to worry about it or would rather have professionals take care of packing. If you're not sure, ask moving companies about typical packing costs to know if the total is still within your budget.

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

When planning a condo or apartment move in Texas, it's worth checking your building's specific rules before moving day. Give your movers a heads up if your place doesn't have an elevator, so it can bring the right equipment for stairs. For those with elevators, check if you need to reserve it or schedule a specific time window to move. Property managers can also advise where trucks should park and if you need a certificate of insurance (COI) from your mover.

For more, read our tips for a successful apartment move .

Do you need moving permits or licenses to move in Texas?

You don't need a personal permit to move your belongings unless it involves moving an entire home structure. However, we do recommend checking that your chosen mover is licensed and insured in Texas. You can use the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles' lookup tool to verify a mover's license.

For more, read our full guide to Texas moving company licensing and regulations

How much should you tip movers in Texas?

Tipping is a great way to recognize your mover's hard work and quality service, but it's completely optional. You can use 10% to 20% of the total bill as a general range, but tailor it to your experience with the team. If they did an outstanding job, consider tipping closer to 20% or beyond. Read our complete guide on how to tip moving crews for more advice.
