Company information

North American Van Lines has been helping San Antonio families and businesses relocate for over nine decades, operating through multiple local agents including their award-winning Ward North American location that consistently earns top honors for service quality. This company brings something most local movers can't offer—access to a massive network of over 500 locations across the United States and Canada, which means they can handle everything from simple moves across town to complex international relocations with equal expertise. Their San Antonio presence goes deeper than just having trucks in the area since they employ local agents who understand the city's unique challenges, from navigating downtown's historic districts to managing moves in busy neighborhoods like Alamo Heights and Stone Oak. What separates them from smaller competitors is their comprehensive training program where every crew member completes over 40 hours of specialized instruction before touching anyone's belongings. The company's reputation speaks for itself through their 4.8-star customer satisfaction rating and Better Business Bureau accreditation, proving they deliver consistent results whether someone's moving a studio apartment or relocating an entire corporate office.
