McAllen, TX → Georgetown, TX · Regional long-distance move
About 364 road miles heading north. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,830–$4,220, delivery in 1–3 days, 357 carriers on the McAllen side and 242 in Georgetown.
Moving from McAllen to Georgetown is a regional long-distance move of roughly 364 road miles, heading north within 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 $2,830 to $4,220 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 6 h 59 min.
On the McAllen side there are 357 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (213 of them authorized for interstate work), and 242 around Georgetown (71 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 Georgetown.
McAllen has a population of about 150,640 and Georgetown about 106,907. McAllen is considerably denser (2,283 people per square mile versus 1,172), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 364 road miles (309 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 6 h 59 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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.
No. Because both McAllen and Georgetown 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 $520 to $740 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,340 to $1,980. 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 McAllen–Georgetown corridor.
