FAQs
What else should you know about moving out of state?

With only 3 movers based in Abilene, the selection is small compared to the 221 available across Texas. Still, quality matters more than quantity, and choosing a trusted local moving company can save you stress. We’ve highlighted the best providers right here.
For longer relocations beyond Texas, Safeway Moving is our recommended option for interstate moves.
Are there moving discounts available in Abilene?
Yes — a number of movers in Abilene extend special savings to certain groups: 1 movers give discounted pricing to military families.
Since these promotions change, make sure to confirm current deals with the mover before locking in your booking.
