Moves between San Antonio & the Hill Country and Alabama
Every RiverHills move to Alabama starts on I-10 East out of San Antonio, and Boerne and Kerrville households roll onto that very same interstate from the Hill Country side. From there the corridor runs through Houston, Beaumont, and Lake Charles before reaching Baton Rouge, where the route splits: I-10 hugs the Gulf on to Mobile, while I-12 and I-59 climb northeast through Hattiesburg and Meridian toward Tuscaloosa and Birmingham, then up I-65 to Montgomery and Huntsville. We run dedicated crews to all five of those cities. San Antonio and Hill Country families make this move for Redstone and NASA jobs in Huntsville, the Mercedes and Hyundai auto plants near Tuscaloosa and Montgomery, UAB careers in Birmingham, and far more house for the money than Central Texas now asks. Because RiverHills holds its own interstate authority and drives its own trucks, the crew that loads your home in Boerne or San Antonio is the crew that unloads it in Alabama — no broker handoff, no interlining, no strangers.

Moving to Alabama: FAQs
Common questions about moves between San Antonio & the Hill Country and Alabama. Need more info? Call us at 830-329-7272.
How long is the drive from San Antonio to Alabama? expand_more
The move follows I-10 East out of San Antonio, and total distance depends on your destination — roughly 720 to 900 miles. Mobile is closest at about 11 hours on the coastal I-10 route through Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Birmingham and Tuscaloosa sit around 12 hours via I-12 and I-59 through Meridian, and Montgomery and Huntsville run a bit longer up I-65. We plan most of these as one to two travel days and give you a firm delivery window before load day.
Which Alabama cities does RiverHills serve? expand_more
We run dedicated city routes from San Antonio and the Hill Country to Birmingham, Huntsville, Mobile, Montgomery, and Tuscaloosa, plus the surrounding suburbs — think Hoover and Vestavia Hills near Birmingham, Madison and Athens near Huntsville, Daphne and Fairhope across the bay from Mobile, and Prattville outside Montgomery. Moving somewhere else in Alabama, like Auburn or Gulf Shores? Just ask — we cover the whole state on the same corridor.
Do you use your own crews, or hand the move off to a broker? expand_more
Our own crews and our own trucks, start to finish. RiverHills holds its own interstate operating authority, so we never broker your move out or interline your shipment onto another carrier's truck. The team that pads, wraps, and loads your home in San Antonio, Boerne, or Kerrville is the same team that carries it into Alabama and unloads it — one crew, one point of accountability, no strangers in the middle.
When is the best time of year to move from San Antonio to Alabama? expand_more
Spring and fall are ideal — you skip the peak of Central Texas summer heat and the humid Deep South stretch of July and August. If you're headed to Mobile or the coast, we keep an eye on Gulf hurricane season from June through November. Tuscaloosa fills up fast around University of Alabama move-in weeks in August. Any month works; we just book earlier for summer and month-end dates, which go quickly.
Can you handle gated communities, HOAs, and tight access on both ends? expand_more
Yes. Many Hill Country neighborhoods and Alabama suburbs are gated or HOA-managed, so we plan access ahead of time — we'll provide a certificate of insurance for the HOA, arrange gate or loading-dock times, and pull parking permits where a city requires them. When a street, driveway, or building is too tight for the full trailer, we shuttle your belongings with a smaller truck and use long-carry handling so nothing about the access holds up your delivery.
