The route from Annapolis, MD to Columbia, SC covers roughly 495 miles by road, a southwest-bound trip that falls into the regional long-distance move category for pricing purposes.
At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $3,450 to $5,130 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 9 h 14 min.
On the Annapolis side there are 199 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (100 of them authorized for interstate work), and 389 around Columbia (223 interstate). For an interstate move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Columbia.
Annapolis has a population of about 41,000 and Columbia about 147,035. Annapolis is considerably denser (5,664 people per square mile versus 999), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in South Carolina than in Maryland, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.
