Moves between San Antonio & the Hill Country and Virginia
Virginia splits into two very different destinations, and RiverHills runs both from San Antonio and the Texas Hill Country. The haul heads east on I-10 out of San Antonio and across the Gulf South, climbs north through Atlanta on I-85 and up through the Carolinas, then reaches Virginia on I-95 — where the lane forks. I-95 continues north into the Washington suburbs for Alexandria and Arlington, while I-64 branches east from Richmond down to Hampton Roads for Norfolk, Virginia Beach and Chesapeake, with Richmond itself sitting right at the junction. San Antonio households make this move on Joint Base San Antonio PCS orders to Virginia's dense military footprint, for federal and defense-contracting careers in Northern Virginia, and for Navy and shipbuilding work on the coast. Boerne, Kerrville and Fredericksburg families share the very same corridor east. Because RiverHills holds its own interstate authority, one crew loads in the Hill Country and unloads in Virginia — no load-board auction, no broker handoff.

Moving to Virginia: FAQs
Common questions about moves between San Antonio & the Hill Country and Virginia. Need more info? Call us at 830-329-7272.
How long does a San Antonio to Virginia move take? expand_more
Virginia runs roughly 1,600 to 1,800 miles from San Antonio depending on which end you're headed to — east on I-10, north through Atlanta on I-85, then up I-95 into Virginia, with I-64 branching to the coast. Most households see delivery in five to six days, and we confirm the exact window at quote time so it lines up with your closing, lease or report date.
Which Virginia cities does RiverHills run dedicated routes to? expand_more
We build dedicated San Antonio route pages for Alexandria and Arlington in the Washington suburbs, Richmond in the middle of the state, and Norfolk, Virginia Beach and Chesapeake down in Hampton Roads. We'll move households to other Virginia towns on request — call (830) 329-7272 for a custom quote.
Does RiverHills drive my Virginia move itself or hand it off to another company? expand_more
We run Virginia on our own operating authority — one RiverHills crew and truck loads your home in San Antonio or the Hill Country and unloads it in Virginia. Nothing gets auctioned on a load board or transferred to an unknown carrier partway across the country the way a brokered move does.
When is the best time of year to move from San Antonio to Virginia? expand_more
Spring and fall are the most comfortable on both ends, but we move year-round. We load in the cooler early-morning hours through the Texas summer, and for late-fall and winter deliveries we watch for winter weather in the Blue Ridge and along the Washington-area stretch of I-95, planning around storm systems rather than pushing through them.
Can you handle gated communities, HOAs and building access on a Virginia move? expand_more
Yes. Northern Virginia's high-rises and condos in Alexandria and Arlington often need reserved loading docks, elevator bookings and certificate-of-insurance paperwork, and the newer Hampton Roads and Richmond subdivisions have gates and HOA rules. We line up gate access, COIs and elevator or dock reservations before move day so the crew isn't held up at the entrance.
