McAllen, TX → Lewisville, TX · Long-distance move
About 564 road miles heading north. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,470–$5,160, delivery in 2–5 days, 357 carriers on the McAllen side and 655 in Lewisville.
Lewisville sits about 564 miles north of McAllen, 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 $3,470 to $5,160 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 10 h 25 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 655 around Lewisville (262 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 Lewisville.
McAllen has a population of about 150,640 and Lewisville about 139,006. Lewisville is the denser city (3,022 people per square mile versus 2,283 in McAllen), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

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.
No. Because both McAllen and Lewisville 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 $880 to $1,240 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,520 to $2,240. 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–Lewisville corridor.
