Most moving companies want you to book a week or two in advance. But life doesn't work that way. Eviction notices land with 72 hours to vacate. Leases fall through at the last second. Job offers come in on a Friday with a Monday start date across the state. Closings accelerate, roommates leave, and sometimes you just need to get out - today.
RVA Movers has been handling same-day and last-minute moves in Richmond since we started. over 1,500 moves completed, and a significant number of those were booked with less than 48 hours' notice. We operate 7 days a week, and our dispatch process is built for speed without sacrificing the quality you'd expect from a company with a 4.9-star rating.
When you call us for a same-day move, you're not getting a skeleton crew or untrained day laborers.

We just get there faster.
Over 70% of our business comes from repeat customers and referrals.

From your first call to the final walkthrough at your new place - here's exactly what happens when you need us fast.
Call 804-801-8079 and tell us what you need. We'll check crew availability immediately and let you know the earliest we can get a team to your location. Most calls are answered in under a minute.
We'll ask a few fast questions: How much are you moving? Where are you going? Any stairs, elevators, or access issues? This takes 5 minutes and lets us send the right crew size with the right equipment.
Once confirmed, our crew heads to your location with a fully equipped truck - blankets, dollies, straps, floor runners, and everything needed to protect your belongings and your home.
We load, transport, and unload at your new location. Furniture is placed where you want it, reassembled if needed, and we do a walkthrough before we leave. Same quality, same care - just faster.
Same-day doesn't mean cut corners. Every same-day and last-minute move includes the same full-service treatment as a job booked weeks in advance.
You may not have days to prepare, but even a few hours of smart preparation makes a big difference. Here's what to focus on when time is short:
Gather medications, important documents (IDs, passports, financial records), jewelry, and irreplaceable items. Keep these with you personally - not on the truck.
Move anything blocking the route from your rooms to the front door and to the truck parking area. Clear hallways, doorways, and stairwells.
Focus on small items, kitchenware, and bathroom supplies. If you run out of time, don't stress - our crew can pack on-site with professional materials.
Even quick labels like 'Kitchen' or 'Bedroom' on boxes help our crew place everything correctly at your new home and save time on the unload.
Tell us about stairs, elevators, parking restrictions, gate codes, or building requirements at both locations. This prevents delays on arrival.
