Reverse: Kerrville → Birmingham

Kerrville sits about 900 miles west of Birmingham, which makes this an interstate relocation from Alabama to Texas that most movers classify as a long-distance move.

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 $4,110 to $6,120 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 16 h 13 min.

On the Birmingham side there are 395 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (208 of them authorized for interstate work), and 31 around Kerrville (7 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 Kerrville.

Birmingham has a population of about 195,893 and Kerrville about 25,000. The two cities have comparable density (1,366 and 1,068 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Texas is a higher-cost state than Alabama, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. 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 Birmingham to Kerrville?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,640 to $2,450 for a studio, $2,470 to $3,670 for a one-bedroom, $4,110 to $6,120 for a two-bedroom, $6,580 to $9,790 for a three-bedroom and $9,050 to $13,460 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Kerrville from Birmingham?

About 900 road miles (763 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 16 h 13 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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 Alabama 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 Birmingham to Kerrville?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,220 to $1,730 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,820 to $2,680. 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 Birmingham–Kerrville corridor.
