FAQs
What else should you know about moving out of state?
Any moving company helping you leave Texas must have the proper licenses and a valid U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) number. All the Arlington movers we recommend meet these requirements, but you can verify credentials yourself through the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s database.
If you're planning a move across state lines, make sure to review the FMCSA’s Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move guide.
Is it better to use local or national movers to relocate from Arlington?
There are 11 movers operating in Arlington, giving you plenty of choices beyond the 220 available statewide in Texas. Choosing a local mover can save money on shorter moves, and our guide highlights which companies are worth considering.
For moves that take you out of Texas, we suggest Safeway Moving — a reliable national mover with a strong reputation for handling interstate relocations.
Are there moving discounts available in Arlington?
Yes — a number of movers in Arlington extend special savings to certain groups: 2 companies reduce rates for teachers and other educators. 12 movers give discounted pricing to military families. 9 providers offer lower costs for seniors.
Since these promotions change, make sure to confirm current deals with the mover before locking in your booking.
When is the cheapest time of year to move away from Arlington?
Since demand for movers in Arlington drops in November and December — thanks to the holiday season and school commitments — you’ll have more room to negotiate with moving companies and potentially lock in lower prices.
What are the cheapest ways to move out of Arlington?
If you're staying within 50 miles of Arlington, doing the move yourself is usually the most affordable option. That includes renting a truck from companies like U-Haul or going with a moving container service such as PODS. Read our full breakdown of the cheapest ways to move out of state.
