Hilton Head Island, SC → Myrtle Beach, SC · Regional long-distance move
About 177 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,110–$3,130, delivery in 1–2 days, 62 carriers on the Hilton Head Island side and 148 in Myrtle Beach.
Moving from Hilton Head Island to Myrtle Beach is a regional long-distance move of roughly 177 road miles, heading northeast within 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 $2,110 to $3,130 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 2 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 3 h 45 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 148 around Myrtle Beach (97 interstate). For an in-state 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.
Hilton Head Island has a population of about 38,000 and Myrtle Beach about 39,000. Myrtle Beach is the denser city (1,524 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.

About 177 road miles (150 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 3 h 45 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.
No. Because both Hilton Head Island and Myrtle Beach are in South Carolina, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $330 to $470 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,180 to $1,730. 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–Myrtle Beach corridor.
