Free. No commitment. 60 seconds.
HOW PRICING WORKS
How your San Antonio move is priced, and why fast crews cost less.
Your hourly rate is locked before we arrive. After that, it's just the clock. Most moving companies pay their crew the same whether the job takes 3 hours or 5, there's no reason to move fast. Our crews are university-student athletes, booked back-to-back. Fast is the job. Try our San Antonio Moving Calculator, built from 40,000+ completed moves across our markets. Includes a built-in quote verifier. Need movers today? See our same-day and last-minute movers in San Antonio.
The difference between the low and high end of these ranges usually comes down to one thing: how fast your crew moves.
- Hourly rate locked before we arrive, with no surprise invoices after the move
- The faster they move, the lower your total. Ours move fast
- Show-Up Guarantee: $50 off if a mover arrives 30 minutes after start
- No hidden charges. No fuel surcharges. No surprise stair fees.
The efficiency insight most people miss
Most people assume fewer movers costs less, but it's usually the opposite. A 3-person crew that wraps in 3 hours costs less than 2 movers who take 5. That's because your crew stays at peak energy the whole time. With smaller crews, people get tired and the pace drops. We keep moves in the 3–4 hour window where athletes perform best and everyone wins.
THE POWER MOVE
Our San Antonio movers do the heavy lifting
You just rent the truck
U-Haul has 23,000+ locations across the US, and most customers in San Antonio are within 5 miles of one. Any truck up to 26 foot runs on a standard driver's license, with no CDL or commercial license required.
What driving one actually feels like
- You sit higher than any SUV. You can see the full road ahead and every lane.
- No minimum speed. Go 45 mph the whole way. Take every exit slowly. No one cares.
- You'll need one new skill: turn wide at intersections. Otherwise, it's pretty simple.
- Pick up on your phone via U-Haul's Truck Share 24/7, with no counter, no paperwork, no wait.
“I was genuinely scared, until I started driving it. Just slow down, take the foot off the gas before going downhill, brake slowly, don't hug the curb while turning.” From a first-time mover.

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
Moving in San Antonio: the military calendar, the heat, and the historic districts
San Antonio's moving calendar is defined in no small part by the military. Joint Base San Antonio, meaning Lackland, Fort Sam Houston, and Randolph, tends to make housing turnover in the nearby towns move in lockstep with the PCS calendar. Summers are hot and dry, so nobody is too mad about an early start.
Downtown, the Pearl, and Southtown have a growing stock of lofts and condos where a freight-elevator reservation and a Certificate of Insurance are standard. Cellars at Pearl loads along Pearl Parkway and wants a weekday-morning window because the district is pedestrian-heavy on weekends and during the farmers market; The Floodgate on the River Walk has an automated garage, so moves stage from the Commerce Street loading zone by appointment. King William and Monte Vista are historic districts with narrow streets, mature trees, and steep original staircases, which calls for a smaller truck and careful crews. Alamo Heights sits inside the loop with the same older-street constraints.
Stone Oak and the far north side are gated communities and hillside lots with long, sloped driveways, and the fastest growth runs northeast along I-35 toward New Braunfels and Schertz and northwest into the Hill Country around Boerne, where newer homes mean longer carries but no elevator waits. Hill Country roads flash-flood in heavy rain, and a low-water crossing on a spring afternoon can add an hour to a Boerne move. UTSA's move-in on the third weekend of August fills the northwest side that week, Trinity and St. Mary's add smaller waves, and USAA, H-E-B, and Valero relocate people into the city all year.

WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY
50+ five-star moves in San Antonio
great value for what we needed
“Kaamil and Will were solid! We reached out with a labour-only request as I needed help unloading a 16ft container from PODS into our new home. I was very happy that they were able to get it done in just under two hours, especially considering we got one of the hottest days in the NC heat. The team at Undergrads was quick to respond to my request for a quote, and I was very happy that they could reserve a spot for us in under 48 hours. It was great value for what we needed in a pretty straightforward move, and would happily recommend them accordingly”

They got back to me right away and were able to schedule my move for the very next day!
“Absolute lifesavers! Undergrads seriously saved the day for me! I reached out super late the night before, honestly not expecting to find anyone on such short notice. They got back to me right away and were able to schedule my move for the very next day! Alex and Graham were amazing — friendly, professional, efficient, and incredibly helpful. They made what could have been a very stressful moving day so much easier. I’m so grateful they were able to help me at the last minute. I would absolutely use Undergrads again and highly recommend them. Thank you, Alex and Graham!”

worked so fast they beat our time estimate by two hours
“I could not recommend this company enough. We had Nathan and Kevin assist us with our move to Fort Mill, and they saved my back from stress it just can’t keep up with anymore. They were polite, timely, and worked so fast they beat our time estimate by two hours, while getting additional work done! Don’t think twice, book Undergrads and be a step closer to actually enjoying your new space!”

the same care that they would if our possessions were theirs
“William and Samuel were great—A1. They handled everything with the same care that they would if our possessions were theirs. They were tireless and even helped us strategize how to pack the pod to reduce the risk of damage. We used Undergrads Moving last year and our experience was just as great this time.”

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked about San Antonio moves
How much does it cost to move in San Antonio?
Hourly, rate locked before we start, no stair fees or hidden add-ons. Most San Antonio moves run $200–$350 for a 2-person crew, whether that's at the Pearl or near the Medical Center. A larger house in Stone Oak, Schertz, or Boerne takes more hours and costs more. Of course, you'll need to book your own truck, but you'll still save 30% vs. a traditional full-service mover.
Do I need to provide a truck?
Yes, we are labor-only. The U-Haul on Broadway is about two miles from the Pearl and downtown and the most convenient for inside-the-loop moves. We name the size and can book it for you.
Is there anything your movers won't move?
Especially heavy or bulky safes and pianos are best left to movers who specialize in those items. Keyboards, obviously, aren't an issue. Gun safes and firearms are best left to you. Contractually, our movers won't touch them.
What's the Show-Up Guarantee?
We're confident enough in our show rate to put $50 behind every booking. We've completed 50+ moves in San Antonio. If a mover arrives 30 minutes after the scheduled start, let us know and we'll knock $50 off your final bill.
Are your movers background-checked?
Yes. Every Undergrads mover is a background-checked university student. They work under their real names, connected to their university email.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, licensed and insured in Texas, with $1,000 in damage protection on every move. Cellars at Pearl, The Floodgate, and the other downtown and Pearl buildings may require a Certificate of Insurance before the elevator is released, so let us know if you need one.
What neighborhoods in San Antonio do you serve?
All of Bexar County: downtown, the Pearl, Southtown, King William, Alamo Heights, Stone Oak, Monte Vista, and Tobin Hill, plus New Braunfels, Schertz, Boerne, Cibolo, Helotes, Universal City, Converse, Live Oak, Selma, and Leon Valley.
Do you handle PCS moves for Joint Base San Antonio?
Yes. Labor-only crews fit a personally procured move well: you keep the truck and the reimbursement, we do the loading and unloading. Give us two weeks in summer, and bring your weight tickets question to the truck rental, not to us.
How quickly can you schedule a move?
We can handle same-day moves, but if you give us more time, 2–3 days, we can be sure to get you your ideal moving time.
Can I cancel or reschedule my move?
Yes. Cancellation is free 48 hours before your move, and rescheduling costs nothing with the same notice. The $5 reservation simply holds your date; you pay for the move after it happens.
MOVING TO OR FROM SAN ANTONIO?
Crews at both ends, anywhere in Texas
Undergrads runs local crews in Austin, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio. If your move connects two of our cities, one crew loads your truck here and a second crew is waiting to unload at the other end. You handle the drive, and you only pay for labor at each stop. See how long-distance moves work, or meet your destination crew:
