Glendale, AZ → Hilton Head Island, SC · Cross-country move
About 2,148 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,780–$10,090, delivery in 5–10 days, 1,051 carriers on the Glendale side and 62 in Hilton Head Island.
Hilton Head Island sits about 2,148 miles east of Glendale, which makes this an interstate relocation from Arizona to South Carolina that most movers classify as a cross-country move.
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 $6,780 to $10,090 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 37 hours (5 driving days).
On the Glendale side there are 1,051 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (452 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.
Glendale has a population of about 260,572 and Hilton Head Island about 38,000. Glendale is considerably denser (4,031 people per square mile versus 911), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 2,148 road miles (1,821 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 37 hours (5 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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 Arizona 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 $2,960 to $4,170 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,940 to $4,320. 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 Glendale–Hilton Head Island corridor.
