The San Antonio & Hill Country → Del Rio corridor
The San Antonio-to-Del Rio move runs due west on U.S. Highway 90, the two-lane-and-divided artery that carries almost every household making this trip across the South Texas brush country to the Rio Grande. A San Antonio pickup catches US-90 West right in the city or slides out via Loop 1604 to the highway on the far west side; households leaving Boerne and Fair Oaks Ranch drop down I-10 to meet US-90 just west of town, while Kerrville and Comfort loads can cut south through Bandera County on SH-16 and SH-173 to join the corridor around Hondo. That shared spine is exactly why a search for "Kerrville to Del Rio" or "Boerne to Del Rio" lands here — it is one route regardless of where in the Hill Country the truck starts. Heading west, US-90 threads through Castroville, the Alsatian "Little Alsace of Texas" on the Medina River, past Hondo and its famous highway sign, through the old brick town of D'Hanis, Sabinal, and Uvalde — the Honey Capital and Uvalde County seat — before rolling on to Brackettville and historic Fort Clark Springs, then dropping into Del Rio and the Val Verde County line.
The land does real work on this drive. You leave the wooded southern edge of the Hill Country and the San Antonio basin and roll onto flatter, drier country — mesquite, prickly pear, and thornscrub on the western reach of the Edwards Plateau, with the terrain thinning toward the Chihuahuan Desert as you near the border. West of Uvalde the highway narrows to two lanes for long, open stretches, and towns and fuel stops get farther apart, so realistic timing is closer to two and a half to three hours than a straight interstate run of the same distance. RiverHills plans the haul as a single dedicated crew and truck loaded in San Antonio or the Hill Country and driven straight through to Del Rio — no interlining, no transfers, no handoffs on the highway. Everything is padded and blanket-wrapped for the run, and because it is a same-day distance, the overwhelming majority of these moves load and unload in one day.
Your household on one truck, San Antonio to Del Rio.
Padded, blanket-wrapped, and carried by the same crew from load to delivery — no interlining, no strangers on your shipment.
About Del Rio, TX
Del Rio is the "Queen City of the Rio Grande," the seat of Val Verde County and a border city sitting directly across the river from Ciudad Acuña, Coahuila. What sets it apart from other border towns is water: San Felipe Springs, one of the largest natural springs in Texas, feeds San Felipe Creek, which runs clear and green straight through the middle of the city and supplies its drinking water. The historic San Felipe district on the west side is one of the oldest Mexican-American settlements in the state and remains the cultural heart of the city, while neighborhoods like Buena Vista, Chihuahua, and Hillcrest fill out the older grid. West and north of town, a string of lake-oriented communities — Cienegas Terrace, Val Verde Park, and Lake View — reach out toward the water.
The economy leans heavily on one anchor: Laughlin Air Force Base, home of the 47th Flying Training Wing and the busiest pilot-training base in the U.S. Air Force. It is the largest employer in the county and the engine behind much of the local housing market and PCS churn. Beyond the base, Del Rio runs on federal law enforcement through U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Border Patrol's Del Rio Sector, the San Felipe Del Rio Consolidated Independent School District, Val Verde Regional Medical Center, city and county government, retail, and steady cross-border commerce with the manufacturing plants of Ciudad Acuña. Tourism adds another layer, drawn by Lake Amistad and the Amistad National Recreation Area.
Day to day, life in Del Rio is outdoorsy and slow-paced. Lake Amistad — a roughly 65,000-acre international reservoir on the Rio Grande — delivers world-class largemouth bass fishing, boating, and even clear-water scuba diving minutes from home, and San Felipe Creek offers shady, spring-fed swimming holes and a golf course laid out along its banks. Del Rio also claims Val Verde Winery, the oldest bonded winery in Texas, founded in 1883. Cost of living runs noticeably below the San Antonio metro, most visibly in housing: buyers and renters generally get more square footage and more land for the money here, which — combined with the base, the lake, and the quiet — is a big part of the draw.

How a San Antonio-area to Del Rio 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 Del Rio move
Del Rio sits in a hot semi-arid stretch of far West Texas on the edge of the Chihuahuan Desert, so summers are intense: daytime highs regularly push past 95 to 100°F from June through September, with strong sun and low humidity. Rainfall is modest — roughly 18 to 19 inches a year — but it tends to arrive in heavy bursts, and San Felipe Creek and the Rio Grande have a real flash-flooding history when tropical moisture pushes in during late summer and early fall, so it is worth watching the forecast around a wet-season move-in. Winters are short and mild, which makes them the easiest time to carry and load. Because RiverHills transports in clean, padded, blanket-wrapped trucks rather than refrigerated units, the smart approach in the warm months is a first-light start, plenty of crew hydration, and keeping the loaded trailer from sitting closed in the direct afternoon sun. The best window to move to Del Rio is the cooler season, roughly November through March, with early spring a comfortable runner-up; if a summer move can't be avoided, scheduling the load for the first hours of the morning makes a genuine difference.

Could not have been nicer guys that helped pack her up and move her in. Very respectful and I have NEVER had movers that have handled our stuff so well and were so polite. I grew up military and have moved my entire childhood. They took great care of my mom.

How far is the move from San Antonio to Del Rio, and how long does the drive take? expand_more
It's about 155 miles, run almost entirely west on U.S. Highway 90, and the drive takes roughly two and a half to three hours in clear conditions — a bit slower than an interstate of the same length because US-90 is two-lane for long stretches past Uvalde. Households leaving Boerne, Kerrville, Fredericksburg, or elsewhere in the Hill Country add the leg over to San Antonio or down to Hondo first, then join the same westbound corridor. Because it's a same-day haul, most loads deliver the same afternoon they depart.
Is a San Antonio to Del Rio move interstate, and is RiverHills properly licensed for it? expand_more
Both cities are in Texas, so this is an intrastate move governed by Texas rules, and RiverHills is a registered Texas household-goods carrier under TxDMV 009770506C. RiverHills also holds full federal authority — USDOT 3561425 and MC-1196218 — as a genuine interstate carrier, so whether your move stays inside Texas or crosses state lines later (as many Laughlin PCS moves do), it's handled directly by our own crews with the proper authority in place.
What shapes the estimate for a Del Rio move? expand_more
Every move is custom-quoted rather than priced off a chart. The main factors are the volume and weight of your household, how much of the packing you'd like us to handle, access details on both ends — stairs, long carries, or base gate access at Laughlin — and your timing. The clearest way to get an accurate number is a quick walkthrough of your home so we can see exactly what's moving.
Can you store my belongings if my Del Rio move-in date doesn't line up? expand_more
Yes. RiverHills offers storage-in-transit for exactly this situation, which comes up a lot with military and closing timelines. If there's a gap between your San Antonio move-out and your Del Rio move-in, your goods stay padded, blanket-wrapped, and secured until your new place — or your base housing — is ready, then go straight out for final delivery.
