Moving from Ann Arbor to Irving is a long-distance move of roughly 1,147 road miles, heading southwest from Michigan to Texas.

At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $4,860 to $7,230 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 20 h 29 min.

On the Ann Arbor side there are 229 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (112 of them authorized for interstate work), and 2,220 around Irving (881 interstate). For an interstate 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 Irving.

Ann Arbor has a population of about 122,233 and Irving about 257,076. The two cities have comparable density (4,392 and 3,831 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Ann Arbor to Irving?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,950 to $2,890 for a studio, $2,920 to $4,340 for a one-bedroom, $4,860 to $7,230 for a two-bedroom, $7,780 to $11,580 for a three-bedroom and $10,700 to $15,920 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Irving from Ann Arbor?

About 1,147 road miles (972 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 20 h 29 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Michigan into Texas makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Ann Arbor to Irving?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,630 to $2,300 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,040 to $3,010. 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 Ann Arbor–Irving corridor.
