About 75 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,300–$1,940, delivery in 1–2 days, 62 carriers on the Hilton Head Island side and 269 in North Charleston.
The route from Hilton Head Island, SC to North Charleston, SC covers roughly 75 miles by road, a northeast-bound trip that falls into the short-haul move category for pricing purposes.
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 counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,300 and $1,940, before packing or storage.
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 269 around North Charleston (136 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 North Charleston.
Hilton Head Island has a population of about 38,000 and North Charleston about 129,245. North Charleston is the denser city (1,480 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.

For a move this short, loading and delivery normally happen on the same day. Most crews finish a two-bedroom home in 5 to 8 hours plus the drive.
No. Because both Hilton Head Island and North Charleston 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 $230 to $320 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,090 to $1,600. 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–North Charleston corridor.
