OUR SERVICES

Austin to Philadelphia Moving Services

Whether you’re leaving a house in South Austin or a condo in the Domain and heading to a rowhome in Fishtown, a brownstone in Rittenhouse, or a spot in the Art Museum area, choosing the right Austin to Philadelphia movers is what separates a smooth move from a stressful one. Our coordinators handles building access, freight elevator scheduling, COI paperwork, and parking permits between Texas and Pennsylvania — so you’re not spending your final week in Texas buried in logistics.

Packing options fit your situation. Full service, partial, or just the items you don’t want to risk — we handle it all. Our crew builds custom crates for artwork, antiques, and anything that needs extra protection over a long haul. If your move-out and move-in dates don’t line up, we offer climate-controlled storage until you’re ready. Both dedicated and shared truck options are available depending on your timeline and budget.

WHY PHILADELPHIA

Pros of Moving from Austin to Philadelphia

✓

Housing That Doesn’t Require a Bidding War to Win

Austin’s median home price has pushed past $500,000, and property taxes in Travis County run close to 2%. Philadelphia’s median sits closer to $265,000 — nearly half — with lower property taxes to match. For anyone relocating from Austin, TX to Philadelphia PA, the math on homeownership shifts dramatically in your favor, especially if you’re buying for the first time or upgrading without stretching your budget.

✓

A Public Transit System That Actually Gets You Places

Austin’s transit infrastructure hasn’t kept up with its growth. If you don’t have a car, you’re stuck. Philadelphia runs one of the oldest and most connected public transit networks in the country — SEPTA covers buses, trolleys, subways, and regional rail across the entire metro. You can live in Manayunk and work in Center City without sitting in traffic. For anyone tired of Austin’s congestion with no alternative, that’s a major quality-of-life upgrade.

✓

Four Real Seasons After Years of Endless Summer

Austin’s summers are relentless — triple-digit heat from June through September with little relief. Philadelphia gives you a full seasonal cycle: fall foliage, actual winters with snow, springs that feel earned, and summers that are warm without being punishing. If you’ve been craving seasonal variety after years of Texas heat, the shift will feel like a reset.

✓

Proximity to Every Major East Coast City

From Philadelphia, you’re roughly two hours to New York, under two hours to DC, and a quick train ride to Baltimore or Wilmington. Weekend trips that would require a flight from Austin are suddenly driveable. Amtrak connects Philadelphia to the entire eastern seaboard, and for professionals with clients or family in multiple cities, that kind of access is hard to beat.

✓

A Food and Culture Scene With Genuine Depth

Austin’s food scene is strong, but Philadelphia brings a different level of variety — from Italian Market vendors that have been operating for a century to acclaimed restaurants in neighborhoods like Passyunk, Northern Liberties, and Old City. The city’s arts infrastructure is deep — the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Barnes Foundation, a thriving theater district, and a live music scene that doesn’t revolve around one festival. There’s culture here that took generations to build, and it shows.

PRICING

How Much Does It Cost to Move Austin to Philadelphia?

The final number depends on how much you’re moving, which services you need, and when you want to go. Austin to Philadelphia is a serious cross country move — a solid two-to-three-day drive east through Tennessee and the Appalachian region — so it falls in the mid-to-upper range for interstate pricing.

Enter your details into our online quote tool and you’ll get a flat-rate estimate in minutes. No surprise charges, no add-ons after the fact — the number we quote is the number you pay.

We offer both dedicated and shared truck options. A dedicated truck means your items travel alone — faster delivery, no extra stops. A shared truck pairs your move with another shipment heading the same direction, which brings the cost down if your schedule allows some flexibility.

MOVE SIZE	EST. COST
Studio	$3,000 – $5,000
1 Bedroom	$4,000 – $6,500
2 Bedroom	$5,500 – $8,500
3 Bedroom	$7,000 – $10,500
4 Bedroom	$9,500 – $13,500
5+ Bedroom	$12,000 – $17,000+

How do I get an estimate?

Choose whichever fits your schedule for a free quote or consultation.

✓Video walkthrough. A 15-minute video call, room by room. Most popular option.
✓Call us. 866-565-1516 speak with our friendly team.
✓Request a quote online. Send details and we’ll follow up.
✓Free in-person estimate. Available for homes with 2+ bedrooms.

Will my furniture be protected?

Yes. At Poseidon Moving, protecting your furniture is one of our highest priorities.

Every piece is carefully prepared before it’s moved. Our crews use heavy duty moving blankets, stretch wrap, floor protection, and proven loading techniques to help prevent scratches, dents, and shifting during transport.

If you have antiques, artwork, glass, marble, or other high-value items, we can recommend additional protection options such as custom crating or White Glove service.

Are there items you can't move?

Yes. For safety reasons, we cannot transport hazardous materials or certain restricted items. These are commonly referred to as “non-allowable items.”

This includes:

•Propane tanks, gasoline, kerosene, and lighter fluid
•Paint, aerosols, household cleaners, and other hazardous chemicals
•Fireworks, ammunition, matches, and charcoal
•Living things, including plants, fish, and pets

We recommend transporting these items yourself, using them before your move, or disposing of them safely according to local regulations.

Not sure about a specific item? Just ask your Move Coordinator before moving day, and we’ll be happy to let you know if it can be transported.

Can you take down TVs and wall-mounted items?

Yes. We can remove and reinstall many wall-mounted items as part of your move.

Our crews can typically dismount and reinstall:

✓Mounted TVs
✓Artwork and mirrors
✓Shelving
✓Window air conditioners

Some installations may require additional hardware, specialized tools, or extra time, so these services may incur an additional charge.

If you know you’ll need help with wall-mounted items, let your Move Coordinator know before moving day so we can arrive fully prepared.

How much will my move cost?

Every move is unique, so the most accurate pricing starts with a personalized estimate.

✓Local Moves – Pricing depends on the size of your move, the time required, travel time, and any additional services such as packing, storage, or specialty handling. Based on your move, we’ll recommend either hourly or flat-rate pricing.
✓Long-Distance Moves – We provide binding estimates based on your inventory, the distance, logistics, and any additional services you request.

Do you provide moving supplies and equipment?

Yes. Every Poseidon Moving truck arrives fully stocked with the supplies and equipment your move may need.

✓Heavy-duty moving pads, stretch wrap, and tape
✓Dollies, hand trucks, straps, and floor protection
✓Basic tools for disassembly and reassembly

If you’re not fully packed by moving day, let us know before your move date and we’ll make sure the crew brings the packing supplies you need – boxes, dish packs, wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, mirror boxes, and TV boxes.
