Augusta, GA → Hilton Head Island, SC · Short-haul move
About 132 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,980–$2,950, delivery in 1–2 days, 200 carriers on the Augusta side and 62 in Hilton Head Island.
Hilton Head Island sits about 132 miles southeast of Augusta, which makes this an interstate relocation from Georgia to South Carolina that most movers classify as a short-haul move.
Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 2 h 59 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,980 and $2,950, before packing or storage.
On the Augusta side there are 200 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (127 of them authorized for interstate work), and 62 around Hilton Head Island (37 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 Hilton Head Island.
Augusta has a population of about 201,999 and Hilton Head Island about 38,000. Hilton Head Island is the denser city (911 people per square mile versus 668 in Augusta), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 132 road miles (112 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 2 h 59 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.
Yes. Crossing from Georgia into South Carolina makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $290 to $400 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,140 to $1,670. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.
Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Augusta–Hilton Head Island corridor.
