Darion and Deondre were incredible! From start to finish, they made the moving process smooth and stress-free. They found my apartment quickly and arrived right on time, which I really appreciated. Communication with both of them was easy—they were responsive, polite, and very professional throughout the entire move. They handled all of my large items, including a twin bed, mattress, 55-inch TV, TV stand, desk, and sofa, with great care. They were also super efficient with space in the truck and managed to load everything in a way that was both secure and well-organized. On top of that, they helped me break down the bed frame, which saved me a lot of time and hassle. I was especially impressed by how fast they worked without cutting any corners. They clearly knew what they were doing and worked together seamlessly. If you’re looking for reliable, professional, and friendly movers, I highly recommend Darion and Deondre. They made what could’ve been a stressful day feel easy! - Iris

Nathaniel was here on time and was very careful and respectful of my items. I was so glad to have such great communication and information from Nathaniel through the app and texts. My first time using this service and I was incredibly impressed. Nathaniel was also very kind and had great advice about getting a mattress around a sharp corner. Would not hesitate to use Lugg again as I think this is a perfect service as well as having someone as great as Nathaniel driving for you. Thank you!! - Traci

Dorm and college movers in Arlington

Two weeks in the year do most of the work: the one in August when everyone arrives, and the one in May when everyone leaves at once. In between there are roommate swaps, a move down the hall, a futon bought off a senior, and the run to storage before summer. Lugg is an on-demand moving and delivery platform where you book local movers for moves into dorms, residence halls and off-campus apartments, and back out again at the end of term.

Which Lugg fits a dorm room

Most people booking dorm movers overestimate what a dorm room holds. Across thousands of student moves, 93% fit in a van or a pickup truck. A bed, a desk chair, a futon and eight or nine boxes doesn't need a box truck, and you pick the vehicle yourself when you book rather than having someone size it for you.

Move-in week and move-out week

Move-in runs on the college's clock, not yours: an assigned arrival slot, a loading zone, a lot that's full by nine in the morning. Booking ahead is what keeps that from mattering, and you can lock a Lugg up to 60 days out. Move-out is the opposite problem, because everything has to be gone by a deadline and half of it isn't coming home. One Lugg can make up to five stops, so the storage unit, the donation drop-off and the boxes you're leaving at a friend's place all happen in the same trip. Movers carry it up stairs, into elevators and down long hallways, which is most of what a dorm building is.

Off-campus apartments and student housing

Student movers get booked for more than move-in day. Sophomore year is usually a walk-up with three roommates, a shared lease and a couch somebody's brother is giving away. Lugg handles those the same way, including the pickup from a marketplace seller across town on the way to the new place. Lugg movers can put the bed frame, the desk or the bookshelf back together once it's in the room.

Moving without a car on campus

Most freshmen don't have a car, and the ones who do can't fit a mattress in it, which is most of what dorm room movers get called for. Lugg is the way to get something bulky from a store, a storage unit or a seller to your room without borrowing a truck or asking three friends. You book it yourself in about a minute, track the crew on the way, and see your upfront estimate before anything is confirmed.

FAQs - College moves in Arlington, TX

Any campus inside Lugg's service area. Lugg doesn't work from a list of partner schools, so booking university movers works the same way at every school: dorms, residence halls, Greek housing, campus-affiliated apartments and off-campus student housing in Arlington are all just addresses. Lugg covers more than 4,000 cities and 8,000 ZIP codes.

The quickest way to check your own school is to enter your pickup and drop-off addresses. If Lugg serves them, you'll see your estimate right away.

Yes, Lugg can pick up your order from retailers like Target, IKEA, Walmart, or any other local store and deliver it to your dorm or apartment in Arlington. Perfect for new dorm setups or replacing furniture mid-semester. This is especially helpful if you don't have a car on campus. We frequently deliver mini-fridges, futons, shelving units, desks, TVs, and other bulky dorm essentials. We can even make multiple pickups in one trip if your purchases/orders are at different stores.

Yes, Lugg can move your belongings into a storage unit during summer or winter breaks and bring them back when the new semester starts in Arlington. Lugg can also pick up from storage and deliver directly to your dorm or apartment on the same day. If you're clearing out old items, we can make donation drop-offs at Goodwill or other local charities. You can even schedule both moves in advance to make returning to campus stress-free.

Yes, room-to-room and building-to-building moves are among the most common student moving services Lugg runs in Arlington. Just enter your pickup and destination addresses, even if they're across campus. Lugg movers can bring items directly into your dorm room or apartment, and one booking supports multiple stops, so dorm to storage to new dorm works as a single trip.

Yes, Lugg can take unwanted items to local donation centers such as Goodwill, Savers, or other charities in Arlington during move-out. We can also help remove small pieces of furniture, old dorm items, or boxes you no longer need and bring those to a local disposal or recycling center if preferred. This is perfect for end-of-semester clean-outs or when you need your room cleared before RA inspections.

Lugg can move you up to 150 miles from the pickup address, which covers most trips from home to campus. Whether you're coming from home, another campus or a surrounding suburb, Lugg can take your things straight to your dorm, apartment or student housing.

Trips longer than 30 miles include a long-distance fee: $2 per mile for miles 31 to 50, then $2.50 per mile above 50. It's already built into the estimate you see before you book.

Enter your pickup and drop-off addresses when you book to check your route.

Yes, you can book your Lugg up to 60 days ahead to lock in your preferred time, especially helpful during busy move-in or move-out weekends in Arlington. Early booking ensures your movers and truck are ready when campus access windows open. We can also arrive during your assigned campus move-in slot or residence hall check-in time, which many schools require for freshmen and returning students.

Yes, with Lugg you can book on-demand, same-day, and next-day college moves. Movers and a truck can arrive within the hour, or you can schedule up to 60 days in advance for a time that works best for you. Same-day moves are great for students who don't have a car on campus or need last-minute help with furniture, dorm supplies, or store pickups.

Yes, parents, guardians or friends can book your college move remotely, as long as someone in Arlington is there to meet the crew. Ask them to add you as an additional contact so you can track your Lugg and message the Luggers in real time, and they can follow the move from their own devices too.

They're also welcome to pitch in on the day. Plenty of families help with loading and unloading to get everything set up faster, which is especially useful in older dorm buildings with slow elevators, tight hallways or several flights of stairs.

Four out of five dorm and college moves with Lugg come in under $250, and the median is about $140. Lugg prices from your addresses and the vehicle you pick, then bills labor by the minute with no hourly minimum, so a short move costs what it actually takes instead of a four-hour block.

You'll see your estimate before you book anything.

Yes, Lugg's referral program is always on: share your referral code with a friend who hasn't used Lugg before, and they get $10 off their first move while you get $10 in Lugg credit.

Your code is in the Lugg app or on the website once you're logged in. Open the menu, find Invite friends, and you can copy your code or share it straight from there.

Lugg also runs seasonal promotions and giveaways, most often around back-to-school, winter break and summer move-out. Follow Lugg on social or join the email list to catch those.

Yes, Lugg supports up to five pickups or drop-offs per booking, so you and your roommate can combine moves to save time and make things easier. For example, we can pick up from both of your homes or storage units and deliver everything to your shared dorm, apartment, or college housing in Arlington in one trip. This makes it a cost-effective option compared to booking separately, especially when moving from multiple locations.

Please note that only one payment can be processed per booking, so the cost can't be split across multiple cards or people.

You'll need to secure any required parking permits or passes for your college move in Arlington if your campus requires them. Many campuses have designated move-in zones or loading areas, so check with your housing or parking office before move day to avoid delays. If your school uses security checkpoints, gated entries, or ID-verified access, your Luggers can check in with campus staff as needed.

Yes, Luggers can help move beds, desks, and dressers within your dorm room or apartment in Arlington, perfect for rearranging furniture, swapping roommates, or setting up after redecorating. Lugg crews can also help with light assembly or disassembly of items like desks, bed frames, or bookshelves, and can reposition TVs or mini-fridges as needed.

Lugg doesn't provide packing services or supplies, so have everything packed before your crew arrives. Boxes, storage bins, duffel bags and even trash bags all work, as long as nothing is loose. Unplug electronics, empty and defrost mini-fridges, secure drawers and bundle cords, and pack TVs with extra padding where you can. Check your campus housing guidelines for prohibited items. Having everything ready helps your Luggers load quickly, which matters most on a busy move-in day in Arlington.

Every Lugg college move in Arlington includes professional moving equipment, straps, dollies, moving blankets, and stretch wrap to protect your items and your space, plus a basic toolkit for light disassembly or reassembly. Pickup trucks also come equipped with a tarp for weather protection.

Your Luggers will wrap fragile or bulky pieces for safe transport and move heavy furniture, appliances and other large items through tight spaces, stairs and doorways. This equipment helps your Luggers navigate stairs, elevators, and narrow dorm hallways, protect your items in rainy weather, and safely move heavy dorm essentials like mini-fridges, futons, desks, and shelving. Your items and college dorm or housing are protected under Lugg's Damage Protection Guarantee.

We do not provide moving boxes or mattress covers. Please have these items ready if needed.
