Hilton Head Island, SC → Davie, FL · Regional long-distance move
About 499 road miles heading south. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,330–$4,950, delivery in 1–3 days, 62 carriers on the Hilton Head Island side and 1,589 in Davie.
Davie sits about 499 miles south of Hilton Head Island, which makes this an interstate relocation from South Carolina to Florida that most movers classify as a regional long-distance 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 $3,330 to $4,950 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 18 min.
On the Hilton Head Island side there are 62 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (37 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,589 around Davie (600 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 Davie.
Hilton Head Island has a population of about 38,000 and Davie about 110,851. Davie is the denser city (3,028 people per square mile versus 911 in Hilton Head Island), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Florida levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 499 road miles (423 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 9 h 18 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 South Carolina into Florida 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 $810 to $1,150 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,470 to $2,150. 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 Hilton Head Island–Davie corridor.
