The Cost of Moving Services in New Braunfels, TX

New Braunfels moving costs vary based on the type of services you need for your move. Labor-only movers help with loading and unloading, while full-service movers handle all the heavy lifting and drive the truck to your new home. While full-service moves cost more, they are the most convenient option available. You could also opt for a labor-only move, which is more affordable, but you’ll need to rent and drive the truck yourself or arrange a moving container. There’s no “right” or “wrong” answer, so long as the option you choose is tailored to your specific needs.

Below, you can see the average costs for both types of moves in New Braunfels.

The Cost of Labor-Only Movers in New Braunfels

If you're looking to save money but still need an extra set of hands, consider labor-only movers. They’re a great middle ground option, and will load and unload your belongings for you while you make arrangements for a rental truck or storage container drop-off.

Hourly moving labor starts around $69.96, but prices can change depending on your move date and time. Moving on a Friday or during June can help keep costs lower.

Below is a summary of labor-only move costs in New Braunfels, calculated by your home’s size and the number of movers involved.

It’s the easiest, most hands-off option available, and the extra cost could be worth it for the time you save.

The average cost of a full-service move in New Braunfels is $490.00. As with labor-only services, prices increase during weekends or summer months due to high demand. If you’re looking to save, try scheduling on a Friday or in June.

Tip 1: Plan Ahead for Downtown Street Closures

Downtown New Braunfels is known for its lively calendar of parades and festivals, especially around Main Plaza and Castell Avenue. Wurstfest, Wassailfest, and the Comal County Fair Parade often cause roadblocks and limit truck access near popular routes.

We recommend reviewing the City of New Braunfels Events Calendar ahead of time for street closures, and plan a detour or shift your move time to avoid delays.

Tip 2: Use Local Waste Services for Pre-Move Decluttering

Want to get rid of bulky furniture or broken items before moving? New Braunfels Utilities offers a Bulky Goods Dropoff program that makes it easy to lighten your load. It’s free for residents and a way to reduce what you need to pack or load. You only need a copy of your utility bill.

Check the calendar to see when residents can participate in this program.

Tip 3: Beat the Texas Heat During Your Move

It’s wise to keep a few heat-busting essentials within reach on your moving day, especially if you're moving during the hotter months in Texas. Not sure where to start? If possible, schedule your move so you’re doing the heavy work during the morning when it’s cooler. Stock a cooler with your favorite cold drinks and snacks, and set up a fan near the door to stay cool between trips. We also recommend that you stop by your new home ahead of time to ensure the air conditioning is running and that the electricity is on and ready to power fans.
