Marietta, GA → Hilton Head Island, SC · Regional long-distance move
About 297 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,560–$3,800, delivery in 1–3 days, 801 carriers on the Marietta side and 62 in Hilton Head Island.
Moving from Marietta to Hilton Head Island is a regional long-distance move of roughly 297 road miles, heading southeast from Georgia 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 $2,560 to $3,800 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 5 h 49 min.
On the Marietta side there are 801 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (372 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.
Marietta has a population of about 62,000 and Hilton Head Island about 38,000. Marietta is considerably denser (2,594 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 297 road miles (252 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 5 h 49 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 Georgia 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 $460 to $640 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,290 to $1,890. 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 Marietta–Hilton Head Island corridor.
