What movers cost for a Boerne move
HomeGuide's national figures (November 2025): $900 to $2,800 for a 2- or 3-bedroom local move under 50 miles, $50 to $100 or more per mover per hour with a 3- to 5-hour minimum, and $1,300 to $9,500 for a long-distance move of the same home. TxDMV doesn't regulate movers' prices, so get more than one written proposal. The Texas guide is on our movers hub.
How to check a moving company for Boerne
Search the company on TxDMV's Truck Stop lookup; a licensed mover has an Active certificate number. Licensed movers' print ads must show a TxDMV number and a Texas street address, and their trucks carry the name and number on both sides. TxDMV warns that unmarked or rental trucks, cell-phone-only contact and a lowball quote that rises after loading are signs of an unlicensed mover. Interstate moves are federal, at protectyourmove.gov.
Before loading you should get a written proposal with the maximum price, TxDMV's rights brochure and a contract. Tell the mover about stairs, elevators and long carries from the truck to the door, or the estimate won't hold. Damage claims go to the mover in writing within 90 days of delivery. The mover then has 23 days to acknowledge, 30 days to inspect and 90 days to pay, deny or make a written offer, and TxDMV offers free mediation after an unsatisfactory answer. Since September 1, 2019, TxDMV can also order a mover that breaks the rules to refund you.
Liability and insurance on a Boerne move
Ask what liability level the proposal uses. At 60 cents per pound per item, a lost 50-pound TV is reimbursed $30, so valuable pieces may justify higher coverage or transit insurance, bought from the mover or a separate insurer, with proof issued before loading. Texas household goods carriers must carry cargo coverage of at least $5,000 per shipper's load and $10,000 per vehicle.

A move-out clean at the old place is the other booking; see cleaning services in Boerne. Local rules are on the Boerne guide, and you can compare movers in San Antonio.
