Charlottesville, VA → Myrtle Beach, SC · Regional long-distance move
About 354 road miles heading south. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,860–$4,250, delivery in 1–3 days, 48 carriers on the Charlottesville side and 148 in Myrtle Beach.
Moving from Charlottesville to Myrtle Beach is a regional long-distance move of roughly 354 road miles, heading south from Virginia to South Carolina.
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 $2,860 to $4,250 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 6 h 48 min.
On the Charlottesville side there are 48 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (29 of them authorized for interstate work), and 148 around Myrtle Beach (97 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 Myrtle Beach.
Charlottesville has a population of about 47,000 and Myrtle Beach about 39,000. Charlottesville is considerably denser (4,544 people per square mile versus 1,524), 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 Virginia, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 354 road miles (300 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 6 h 48 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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 Virginia 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 $510 to $730 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,340 to $1,960. 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 Charlottesville–Myrtle Beach corridor.
