Moving from Allen to Dallas is a local move of roughly 27 road miles, heading south within Texas.

Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 51 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,120 and $1,660, before packing or storage.

On the Allen side there are 680 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (290 of them authorized for interstate work), and 3,665 around Dallas (1,566 interstate). For an in-state move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Dallas.

Allen has a population of about 113,447 and Dallas about 1.3 million. The two cities have comparable density (3,963 and 3,841 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Allen to Dallas?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $590 to $880 for a studio, $690 to $1,030 for a one-bedroom, $1,120 to $1,660 for a two-bedroom, $1,740 to $2,590 for a three-bedroom and $2,610 to $3,880 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Dallas from Allen?

About 27 road miles (23 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 51 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

For a move this short, loading and delivery normally happen on the same day. Most crews finish a two-bedroom home in 5 to 8 hours plus the drive.

Do I need an interstate-licensed mover for an in-state move?

No. Because both Allen and Dallas are in Texas, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Allen to Dallas?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $180 to $250 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,040 to $1,540. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Allen–Dallas corridor.
