The route from Edinburg, TX to McAllen, TX covers roughly 11 miles by road, a southwest-bound trip that falls into the local move category for pricing purposes.
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 21 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,040 and $1,550, before packing or storage.
On the Edinburg side there are 307 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (188 of them authorized for interstate work), and 357 around McAllen (213 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 McAllen.
Edinburg has a population of about 110,700 and McAllen about 150,640. The two cities have comparable density (2,243 and 2,283 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

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.
No. Because both Edinburg and McAllen 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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $160 to $230 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,030 to $1,510. 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.
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 Edinburg–McAllen corridor.
