Austin to Atlanta Movers

From the Hill Country to the Peach State, Elite Star Movers helps Central Texas households and businesses make the move to Atlanta. We pick up in Austin, Buda, Kyle, San Antonio, and nearby communities, and we bring the same care to a 900-mile move that we bring to a move across town.

We’re a family owned and operated moving company based in Buda, Texas, with more than 10 years of experience. Our owner works in the field alongside our crews, which means the plan you discuss on the phone is the plan we carry out on moving day, at the flat rate guaranteed in your written quote.

Understanding the Austin to Atlanta Route

Atlanta is roughly 900 to 950 road miles east of Austin, depending on the routing. One common path runs north on I-35 to Dallas and then east on I-20 through Shreveport, Jackson, and Birmingham into Atlanta. Another heads east on I-10 through Houston and Baton Rouge before turning north toward Birmingham and I-20. We choose the routing based on timing, traffic, and conditions.

Distance: about 900–950 miles, depending on your start and end points.
Main highways: I-35 and I-20, or I-10 with connections to I-20.
States crossed: Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia.
Time zone: Atlanta is on Eastern Time, one hour ahead of Austin.

Seasonal Planning for a Move to Georgia

Atlanta’s climate will feel familiar in some ways and surprising in others. Summers are hot and humid with frequent afternoon thunderstorms. Spring brings a heavy coat of yellow pine pollen, usually in March and April, so expect to wipe down furniture once it’s inside. Winters are milder than in many places, but occasional ice storms can make roads hazardous, and even a little ice tends to slow the region down.

Fall, from about late September through November, is a comfortable time for moving. Summer is the busiest season, so book early if you’re relocating around the school calendar.

How We Quote and Schedule Atlanta Moves

There’s no one-size-fits-all number for a long-distance move. Volume, distance, packing, and access at both homes all play a part, so we quote each move on its own details.

Start with your inventory. Submit it through our quote page or call us with your Atlanta-area destination and target dates.
Get an emailed estimate. We review your list and send an estimated quote. For bigger homes, we recommend a free in-home estimate.
Confirm your booking. When you decide to book, we set your pickup date and talk through realistic delivery timing.
Moving day. Our crew packs (if requested), loads, and keeps you informed until delivery.

Your Atlanta Moving Checklist

Eight weeks ahead

Request your estimate and pick a pickup window.
If you’re still house hunting, test commute times at rush hour. Atlanta traffic on I-285, I-75, I-85, and GA-400 can shape where you want to live.
Start decluttering closets, garages, and attics.

Four weeks ahead

Set up power, water, gas, and internet at your Georgia home.
Contact your new HOA or building about move-in rules, elevator bookings, and truck parking.
Gather school, medical, and veterinary records, and forward your mail.

The final week

Pack a bag with medications, documents, chargers, clothes, and rain gear for those summer storms.
Set valuables and jewelry aside to carry yourself.
Clean out the refrigerator, drain gas from lawn equipment, and do a final walk-through with our crew.

Moving a Piano or Specialty Items to Atlanta

We move upright and grand pianos with the right equipment and padding for a long haul. Atlanta’s humidity is similar to Central Texas, so pianos usually adjust well, but it’s still smart to wait a couple of weeks before tuning. Large mirrors, glass tabletops, and artwork get custom wrapping, and we’ll let you know if anything should travel with you instead.

Tips for Moving Into Metro Atlanta

Neighborhoods and suburbs

Intown neighborhoods such as Virginia-Highland, Inman Park, Kirkwood, and Grant Park have older homes on narrow, tree-lined streets where truck parking can be tight. Midtown and Buckhead are known for high-rise condos and apartments. Many families look at suburbs like Decatur, Marietta, Smyrna, Sandy Springs, Roswell, Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Peachtree City, and Lawrenceville.

Hills, driveways, and access

Unlike much of Central Texas, Atlanta is hilly. Steep driveways, sloped yards, and front steps are common, and they can affect where a truck can park and how far the crew needs to carry. Photos of your new home’s entrance help us plan.

High-rises and HOAs

Buildings in Midtown and Buckhead typically require reserved elevators, loading dock times, and proof of insurance. Suburban HOAs may limit truck parking or move hours. Confirm these early and pass them along to us.
