Little Rock, AR → Hilton Head Island, SC · Long-distance move
About 816 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,850–$5,730, delivery in 2–5 days, 165 carriers on the Little Rock side and 62 in Hilton Head Island.
Moving from Little Rock to Hilton Head Island is a long-distance move of roughly 816 road miles, heading east from Arkansas 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 $3,850 to $5,730 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 14 h 46 min.
On the Little Rock side there are 165 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (104 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.
Little Rock has a population of about 206,427 and Hilton Head Island about 38,000. Little Rock is considerably denser (1,688 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 816 road miles (692 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 14 h 46 min.
Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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 Arkansas 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 $1,140 to $1,610 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,750 to $2,570. 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 Little Rock–Hilton Head Island corridor.
