Kerrville, TX → San Marcos, TX · Short-haul move
About 86 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,390–$2,070, delivery in 1–2 days, 31 carriers on the Kerrville side and 94 in San Marcos.
The route from Kerrville, TX to San Marcos, TX covers roughly 86 miles by road, a east-bound trip that falls into the short-haul 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 2 h 11 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,390 and $2,070, before packing or storage.
On the Kerrville side there are 31 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (7 of them authorized for interstate work), and 94 around San Marcos (22 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 San Marcos.
Kerrville has a population of about 25,000 and San Marcos about 72,000. San Marcos is the denser city (1,738 people per square mile versus 1,068 in Kerrville), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

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 Kerrville and San Marcos 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 $240 to $340 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,100 to $1,610. 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 Kerrville–San Marcos corridor.
