Reverse: McAllen → El Paso

McAllen sits about 742 miles southeast of El Paso, so this is an in-state move 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 $3,900 to $5,810 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 13 h 30 min.

On the El Paso side there are 360 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (263 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.

El Paso has a population of about 683,012 and McAllen about 150,640. The two cities have comparable density (2,627 and 2,283 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 El Paso to McAllen?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,560 to $2,320 for a studio, $2,340 to $3,480 for a one-bedroom, $3,900 to $5,810 for a two-bedroom, $6,250 to $9,290 for a three-bedroom and $8,590 to $12,780 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is McAllen from El Paso?

About 742 road miles (628 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 13 h 30 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.

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

No. Because both El Paso 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for El Paso to McAllen?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,060 to $1,500 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,680 to $2,470. 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 El Paso–McAllen corridor.
