I had an amazing experience with Lugg thanks to two incredible movers who went above and beyond. They moved a massive 200+ lb dresser upstairs (no easy task). They got creative and removed all the drawers to lighten the load and with some smart maneuvering (and a lot of muscle), they made it work. Not only did they handle the heavy lifting like pros, but they were also incredibly kind and thoughtful. They even helped move my old dresser downstairs which I really appreciated! - Kim

U-Haul alternative in Austin: movers and a truck, without the rental

Lugg is an on-demand moving and delivery platform where you book local movers with a truck, so a job you'd have spent a day renting, driving and loading yourself takes a few taps to book. You enter a pickup address and a drop-off address, pick the vehicle that fits the load, and a crew arrives to do the lifting and the driving. There's nothing to reserve at a counter and nothing to bring back.

The hidden cost of renting a truck

Money is one thing, but your time and energy are another. Renting a truck means driving out to the lot, checking it out, usually leaving a deposit, buying supplies, driving it back to your place, loading it yourself, driving across town, unloading it, refueling, returning it, and then finding your own way home. An hour of actual moving turns into most of a Saturday, and you're doing every step of it.

A Lugg estimate includes the truck, the crew, and the equipment they bring. There's no day or hourly rate to extend if the job runs long, no fuel stop along the way, and no dolly or moving blankets to add by the item.

Already rented a truck? Book Movers only

If you've already rented a truck, you can still book Movers only and have the heavy lifting handled. Lugg movers load the rental, unload it, or both, and they can take furniture apart and put it back together while they're there. Loading at one address and unloading at another takes a Movers only booking at each end.

One item or a whole apartment

Both are one Lugg. A single couch bought across town, a mattress and bed frame, a treadmill that has to go down to the basement, or a studio and one-bedroom cleared out and set back up at the other end. The vehicle is sized to the load; the rest of the process is the same.

How the estimate works

The number you see before booking is built from the vehicle's base fare plus the crew's time, billed by the minute, so a short job prices like a short job. Stairs, a long carry from the door, and a slow elevator all take longer, and that time shows up as labor minutes.

FAQs - Moving truck moves in Austin, TX

Every Lugg includes the vehicle you choose (Lite, Pickup, Van, XL, Box or Box+), movers to load it at pickup, the drive, and unloading into the rooms you choose at the destination in Austin. Your movers bring dollies, furniture blankets, stretch wrap, forearm lifting straps, tie-down straps and basic tools like a screwdriver and an Allen key.

Lugg lets you choose the vehicle that fits your move in Austin: Lite, Pickup, Van, XL, Box or Box+. Here's a quick look at the cargo space in each:

  • Lite: the one-mover option, with the same cargo space as a Pickup, for boxes and light pieces.
  • Pickup: 6 ft+ long × 4.5 ft wide, open bed. The tailgate can stay open for extra length, and everything is strapped down.
  • Van: 8 ft+ long × 4 ft wide × 4.5 ft tall, enclosed.
  • XL: 10 ft+ long × 5.5 ft wide × 6.4 ft tall, enclosed, and fits a king mattress.
  • Box: 12 to 16 ft long × 6 ft wide × 7 ft tall.
  • Box+: 18 ft+ long × 6 ft wide × 7 ft tall, the largest option.

Tip: Pickups carry a tarp for light rain. If the forecast calls for heavier rain, choose an enclosed vehicle: a Van, XL, Box or Box+.

If you need a lift gate, choose a Box or Box+ and add a note to your booking. A lift gate isn't guaranteed, so plan for every item to be carried.

Lugg's weight limit is 125 lbs per Lugger, or 250 lbs per item on any vehicle that comes with two Luggers: Pickup, Van, XL, Box or Box+. Anything heavier needs more Luggers on the job, so book a second Lugg for the same time window. There's no limit on how many items you move, and size comes down to which vehicle you choose.

Yes, with Lugg you can book on-demand, same-day, and next-day moving truck 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.

Yes, you can add multiple stops to a single Lugg, perfect if you need to pick up items from a store, drop a few things at storage, and then head to your new place in Austin. Just enter each stop in the order you'd like during booking, and your crew will handle them all in one Lugg.

Mileage is totaled across your whole route, so if your stops add up to more than 30 miles you'll also see a long-distance fee in your estimate.

Lugg prices every booking as a base fare for the vehicle you pick, a per-mile rate for the distance between your stops, and labor billed by the minute with no hourly minimum. You'll see your upfront estimate before you book, including a small variable booking fee, and rates vary by city.

The vehicle you pick sets most of the price, so a single piece of furniture in a Lite or Pickup costs much less than a full apartment in a Box. Routes over 30 miles add a long-distance fee, which is already in your estimate, and a Movers only job has no mileage at all.

No, customers cannot ride along with the crew, for safety and liability reasons.

No, Lugg does not pack, unpack, or provide packing supplies (boxes, tape, mattress bags, floor runners). Please have items boxed, sealed, and labeled before the crew arrives. Your Luggers will carefully protect furniture and other large items with moving supplies and equipment during transport in Austin.

Yes, your Luggers can help with basic furniture disassembly and assembly during your moving truck move. Crews bring standard tools, but if your items need specialty tools or instructions, please have those ready. Time spent disassembling or assembling is included in your total labor.

Yes, you're responsible for legal, safe parking at both pickup and the destination. If a permit is required in Austin, please secure it in advance. Wait time is billable, and a lack of access may require rescheduling.

Your Lugg crew will do everything we safely can to ensure a successful move. If an item can't be moved due to size or access, we can return it to the pickup or another location as an additional stop in Austin. Standard rates apply. We recommend measuring ahead of time to prevent this.

Yes, your Lugg crew will place furniture and boxes in the rooms you choose on any accessible floor. Please note, we do not provide mounting or installation services.

Lugg movers can take packaging and trash to an on-site dumpster, or move an old item to the curb for city pickup, as part of your labor time.

To haul packaging, trash or old items away, or to donate them, add an extra stop (or stops) when you book, at a recycling center, disposal site or local charity you choose, like Goodwill or Habitat ReStore near Austin.

Tip: Donation and disposal centers vary widely in what they accept, so call ahead to confirm they can take your items, and check their hours and any fees.

Lugg is different from a truck rental because you don't rent, drive or return anything: you book the vehicle and the movers together, and they load it, drive it and unload it. There's no deposit to put down, no fuel to top up and no lot to bring it back to, and you can track your movers live from pickup to drop-off in Austin. A single Lugg can run up to 150 miles.
