Reverse: Lewisville → Santa Monica

Lewisville sits about 1,462 miles east of Santa Monica, which makes this an interstate relocation from California to Texas 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 $6,430 to $9,570 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 25 hours (3 driving days).

On the Santa Monica side there are 603 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (222 of them authorized for interstate work), and 655 around Lewisville (262 interstate). For an interstate 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.

Santa Monica has a population of about 92,000 and Lewisville about 139,006. Santa Monica is considerably denser (11,069 people per square mile versus 3,022), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Texas than in California, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Santa Monica to Lewisville?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,570 to $3,830 for a studio, $3,860 to $5,740 for a one-bedroom, $6,430 to $9,570 for a two-bedroom, $10,290 to $15,310 for a three-bedroom and $14,150 to $21,050 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Lewisville from Santa Monica?

About 1,462 road miles (1,239 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 25 hours (3 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from California into Texas makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Santa Monica to Lewisville?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,100 to $2,970 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,320 to $3,420. 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 Santa Monica–Lewisville corridor.
