The Road From Lubbock to San Antonio
Why we love San Antonio, Texas
There’s a lot to like about San Antonio. It’s the second-largest city in Texas, yet it still feels like a neighborly place — folks line the streets every April for Fiesta, pack in to cheer the Spurs, and take out-of-town guests down to the River Walk and the Alamo like they’re showing off the family homestead. The economy gives people real reasons to put down roots, too: Joint Base San Antonio, the USAA campus, H-E-B’s downtown headquarters, the Toyota plant on the south side, and the hospitals of the South Texas Medical Center keep steady paychecks coming, while school districts like Northside ISD — one of the largest in the state — serve the families who keep arriving.
To appreciate San Antonio, it helps to know the history that shaped it — because this city was already three hundred years old before most of Texas had a name on the map.

Early Settlement
San Antonio began in May 1718, when Franciscan missionaries established Mission San Antonio de Valero — the church Texans now know as the Alamo — and the Spanish governor founded the Presidio San Antonio de Béxar a few days later. In 1731, a group of Canary Island families arrived after a long overland march and made San Antonio the first chartered civil settlement in what is now Texas. Five Spanish missions eventually lined the San Antonio River, and a network of hand-dug irrigation ditches called acequias made farming possible in dry country. Those missions still stand today, recognized together as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2015.
From Missions to Military City
The acequias fed farms, and farms fed a frontier trading town, but San Antonio’s modern economy was built on the military — that’s why people call it Military City USA. Joint Base San Antonio, which takes in Lackland, Fort Sam Houston, and Randolph, supports tens of thousands of jobs and contributes billions to the Texas economy every year. Around that anchor grew USAA’s huge campus on Fredericksburg Road, H-E-B’s headquarters downtown, the Toyota plant that has been building trucks on the south side since 2006, and the South Texas Medical Center, a cluster of dozens of medical institutions including a dozen hospitals. Add tourism along the River Walk, and you have one of the steadiest big-city economies in the state.
Community Spirit
Every April since 1891, San Antonio has thrown Fiesta, a citywide celebration remembering the battles of the Alamo and San Jacinto, complete with the famous Battle of Flowers parade. The Spurs have given the city something to holler about since the HemisFair Arena days. Schools knit the neighborhoods together, too: Northside ISD is the largest district in the area and the fourth largest in Texas with roughly 98,000 students, while North East ISD serves the growing north side and little Alamo Heights ISD anchors its historic enclave. It’s a big city that still shows up for its own.
Modern San Antonio
Today San Antonio is home to roughly 1.5 million people, making it the second-largest city in Texas and one of the largest in the country — recent census figures show it closing in on Philadelphia for sixth place nationally. The 750-foot Tower of the Americas, built for the 1968 HemisFair world’s fair, still stands as the tallest structure in town, while growth pushes outward past Loop 410 to Loop 1604 and beyond, into master-planned communities like Stone Oak on the north side and Alamo Ranch on the far west side. People keep moving here for the same reasons they always have: steady work, affordable neighborhoods, and a city that knows exactly who it is.

Lubbock to San Antonio Moving — Frequently Asked Questions
Here are a few answers to common questions we get from our customers. If you have any more questions — don’t hesitate to give us a call!
You're called LUBBOCK Moving Company — do you really cover San Antonio?
We do. Our TXDMV license gives us authority to move households anywhere in Texas, and San Antonio is one of the long-distance cities we serve on a regular basis. In practice, it works like this: we set your move date, a crew loads your home at one end, and that same crew drives US-87 down through San Angelo and Fredericksburg, picking up I-10 at Comfort for the last stretch into San Antonio.
Your belongings stay on one truck with one crew the whole way — nothing gets handed off to a partner carrier or shuffled between warehouses. It’s a long drive, but it’s our home highway, and we’ve been running it for years.
Does the distance from Lubbock make my move cost more or take longer?
We’ll be straight with you: San Antonio is about 385 miles from Lubbock, roughly a six-hour drive, so we run it as scheduled long-distance service rather than daily local trips. That means we plan your date with you in advance instead of just swinging by the same afternoon like we might across town in Lubbock.
On cost, you never have to guess. Every San Antonio move gets a flat-rate written estimate before we start, with the travel already built in — no fuel surcharges tacked on later, no hourly clock running while the truck rolls down US-87. The number on your written quote is the number you pay.
How far ahead do I need to book, and can you handle short notice?
For a San Antonio move, a couple of weeks of lead time is ideal — it lets us lock in your preferred date and plan the crew and truck for the trip down. Ends of the month and summer fill up fastest, especially with so many military families rotating through Joint Base San Antonio during PCS season.
That said, don’t assume you’re out of luck if your timeline is tight. We can often make a move happen the same week you call, and sometimes even same-day depending on the schedule. Call 806-855-8427, tell us your dates, and we’ll give you a straight answer about what’s possible.
I'm moving between San Antonio and Lubbock — can you handle both ends?
That’s the run we know best, and we handle both ends of it all the time — students heading to Texas Tech, medical folks moving between the South Texas Medical Center and Lubbock’s hospitals, and families relocating for work in either direction. One crew packs and loads at your first home, drives the US-87 corridor, and unloads at the new one, usually with your goods delivered the same day they leave.
Because we’re based at one end of the route and drive to the other constantly, there’s no coordinating between two different companies or waiting on a truck to become available in some third city. One flat-rate written quote covers the whole job, door to door.
Can you move me from San Antonio to other cities in Texas, not just Lubbock?
Yes. Our long-distance service is flat-rate to anywhere in Texas, so if you’re leaving San Antonio for Austin, Houston, Dallas–Fort Worth, El Paso, or a small town nobody outside your family has heard of, we can take you there. San Antonio sits at a handy crossroads — I-10 and I-35 both run right through it — so most of the state is a single day’s drive.
The process is the same wherever you’re headed: we walk through what you’re moving, put a flat rate in writing up front, and schedule a crew that handles loading, transport, and unloading. Travel is included in the quote, so the distance never turns into a surprise on moving day.
Are you actually licensed and insured to do moves in San Antonio?
We are, and you can verify it yourself. Lubbock Moving Company operates under TXDMV license #009155382C, which covers household moves statewide — including every neighborhood in Bexar County — and USDOT #3426928, which is our federal motor carrier authority. Both numbers are searchable on the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles and FMCSA websites.
We’re insured as well, and every job starts with a free written estimate so the terms are on paper before the first box moves. If a mover quoting your San Antonio job can’t show you those two numbers, that tells you something.
Your crews are from Lubbock — do they know their way around San Antonio?
Better than you might expect. We plan every San Antonio move in advance, and our crews have learned the layout the practical way: knowing whether an address sits inside Loop 410 or way out past Loop 1604 changes how we time the day, and a delivery in Stone Oak off US-281 is a different job than one on the far west side in Alamo Ranch.
The older neighborhoods take the most care — narrow, tree-lined streets in Monte Vista, King William, and Alamo Heights mean we think about truck placement and carry distance before we ever arrive. When we do a walkthrough for your quote, we’re also scouting parking, access, and the best route in, so moving day runs on a plan instead of guesswork.
What does your full-service move include, and how do I get a quote?
Full-service means we can do as much or as little as you want: packing and unpacking, furniture wrapping and disassembly, loading, the drive itself, and placing everything in the right rooms at your new home. The crew brings the truck, moving pads, dollies, straps, and shrink wrap — you don’t rent or supply any equipment. If you only need muscle, our moving labor service loads or unloads a truck or container you’ve arranged yourself.
Getting a quote is simple: call 806-855-8427, tell us what you’re moving and where, and we’ll put together a free written estimate with everything included up front. We take cash and all major credit cards, and there are no hidden fees — what’s on the paper is what you pay.
