The San Antonio & Hill Country → Augusta corridor
A move from San Antonio to Augusta rides I-10 East from the very first mile, which makes it one of the more straightforward long hauls RiverHills runs — and an unusually clean one for our Hill Country customers, because Kerrville, Comfort, and Boerne all sit right on I-10 themselves. A Boerne pickup simply rolls down I-10 East through San Antonio and keeps going; a Kerrville or Comfort load merges from the west and never leaves the interstate; a Fredericksburg move drops down through Comfort or Kerrville to join the same road. Whether the paperwork reads "San Antonio to Augusta," "Boerne to Augusta," or "Kerrville to Augusta," the truck leaves the limestone hills and live-oak country behind, runs I-10 East past Seguin, skirts the Houston metro, and crosses Beaumont into Louisiana — Lake Charles, Lafayette, and the Atchafalaya Basin toward Baton Rouge.
East of Baton Rouge the route turns for the interstate that defines the rest of the trip: the truck cuts north through Mississippi on I-59 (past Hattiesburg to Meridian) to pick up I-20 East, then stays on I-20 the whole way in — across Alabama through Tuscaloosa and Birmingham, into Georgia and through metro Atlanta, then due east through Madison and Thomson to the Savannah River and Augusta, exiting near Washington Road and Belair. It's roughly 1,060 miles and about sixteen hours of driving, which we stage as a two-day haul so the crew stays rested and delivery lands on schedule. RiverHills carries its own interstate operating authority, so the same crew that pads and blanket-wraps your furniture in the Hill Country is the one that unloads it in Augusta — no interlining, no third-party carrier taking over the long leg, and no handoff to a stranger somewhere in Mississippi.

Padded, blanket-wrapped, and carried by the same crew from load to delivery — no interlining, no strangers on your shipment.
About Augusta, GA
Augusta sits on the fall line of the Savannah River, the border with South Carolina, and it lives up to its "Garden City" nickname with tree-canopied historic districts and one very famous golf course. Newcomers quickly learn it is a metro of distinct pockets: downtown's Broad Street and the Riverwalk anchor a walkable core with the James Brown statue and arena honoring Augusta's most famous native son; Summerville — "The Hill" — offers stately old homes on the ridge near Augusta University; Olde Town and Harrisburg hold Victorian streets close in; and National Hills and Forest Hills spread leafy mid-century neighborhoods toward the west. The real suburban growth, though, has moved across the county line into Columbia County, where Evans and Martinez draw families for top-rated schools and Grovetown has boomed alongside the Army post at its doorstep.
The economy is anchored by two things San Antonio families will recognize in spirit but not in scale: a major Army installation and a deep medical district. Fort Eisenhower (renamed from Fort Gordon in 2023) is home to Army Cyber Command, the Signal Corps, and NSA Georgia, and it has pulled the whole region toward cybersecurity — the state-built Georgia Cyber Center downtown is the largest single cyber investment ever made by a state government. Augusta University and the Medical College of Georgia, Wellstar MCG Health, and Piedmont Augusta run one of the state's largest medical hubs, while across the river the Savannah River Site and Savannah River National Laboratory add Department of Energy and engineering work. Manufacturing rounds it out — Textron's E-Z-GO, Club Car, John Deere, ADP, and a Starbucks roasting plant all operate here.
Day to day, Augusta trades San Antonio's size and River Walk energy for a smaller, slower, and noticeably more affordable footing. Housing goes further on a paycheck than it does in most of Bexar County, especially in Columbia County's newer subdivisions, and the outdoor life leans on water and golf: the Augusta Canal National Heritage Area and its towpath trails, Savannah Rapids Park, the GreenJackets at SRP Park in North Augusta, and Clarks Hill Lake (Thurmond Lake) — the largest Army Corps lake east of the Mississippi — just up the river for boating and fishing.

How a San Antonio-area to Augusta move is quoted + timed
Every move is estimated for the specific shipment — no published rate card. These are the details RiverHills reviews before discussing price and schedule.
Weather & timing for your Augusta move
Augusta is humid subtropical, and the biggest adjustment for San Antonio families is the moisture and the pollen rather than the heat. Summers from June through September are hot and sticky, with frequent afternoon thunderstorms and heat-index days that make an early-morning load-in worth planning; late summer and early fall can also see heavy rain from the remnants of Gulf and Atlantic tropical systems. Spring is beautiful but comes with Augusta's notorious pollen season — pine and oak counts here rank among the highest in the country, and late March into April can coat everything in yellow. Winters are mild with only rare snow, though the real moving concern is the occasional ice storm across Mississippi, Alabama, and metro Atlanta, which can slow the I-20 corridor between December and February. The most comfortable windows to move are early-to-mid May, after the worst of the pollen clears, and October into November, when the humidity eases and the roads are least likely to be iced. If you can, avoid the first full week of April — Masters week turns the Washington Road area and I-20 exits into citywide gridlock and books out every hotel room for miles.

I used Riverhills Moving twice for my long distance move to Arkansas. Jackson and his team are top-notch, friendly, polite, and really know how to pack the truck. I was very pleased each time they helped me. Anthony did my move the second time, and it went great! A very nice person. Would definitely recommend this company for your moving needs.

Learn more arrow_forwardFrequently asked: San Antonio to Augusta
How far is the San Antonio to Augusta move, and how long does the drive take? expand_more
The corridor runs about 1,060 miles — I-10 East from San Antonio across the Gulf Coast through Houston, Beaumont, and Louisiana, then up through Mississippi to I-20 East, which carries the truck across Alabama through Birmingham, through metro Atlanta, and east into Augusta near Washington Road. That's roughly sixteen hours of driving, which RiverHills typically stages as a two-day haul so the crew stays rested and your delivery lands on schedule rather than in the middle of the night.
Is RiverHills actually licensed to move me across state lines to Georgia? expand_more
Yes. RiverHills operates as a licensed interstate household-goods carrier under USDOT 3561425 and MC-1196218, with Texas intrastate authority under TxDMV 009770506C. Your belongings move on our own authority with our own crew and our own truck — this is not a brokered load handed off to a third-party carrier somewhere along I-20. The team that wraps your furniture in Texas is the team that unloads it in Augusta.
Do you handle Boerne, Kerrville, and Fredericksburg moves to Augusta, not just San Antonio? expand_more
Yes — and this route is especially clean from the Hill Country, because Kerrville, Comfort, and Boerne all sit right on I-10. A Boerne or Kerrville load simply merges onto I-10 East and never leaves it until deep into Louisiana, while a Fredericksburg move drops down through Comfort or Kerrville to join the same road. Whether the job reads 'Boerne to Augusta' or 'Kerrville to Augusta,' it's one continuous run on the same corridor RiverHills operates out of San Antonio.
Can RiverHills work around a Fort Eisenhower PCS timeline or hold my belongings if my Augusta home isn't ready? expand_more
Yes. Military PCS windows and Columbia County closing gaps rarely line up perfectly, so we offer storage-in-transit — your goods stay inventoried, pad-wrapped, and in clean, dry, secured storage until your Augusta place or on-post housing is ready, then go out for final delivery by our crew. On a two-day haul like this it's a common request, and it's far easier to plan the hold in advance than to scramble at the last minute.
