Moving from Myrtle Beach to Kent is a cross-country move of roughly 2,862 road miles, heading northwest from South Carolina to Washington.

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 $8,410 to $12,520 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 7 to 14 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 50 hours (6 driving days).

On the Myrtle Beach side there are 148 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (97 of them authorized for interstate work), and 646 around Kent (317 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 Kent.

Myrtle Beach has a population of about 39,000 and Kent about 134,871. Kent is the denser city (4,041 people per square mile versus 1,524 in Myrtle Beach), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Washington is a higher-cost state than South Carolina, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Washington levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

Tips for this move

Expect a delivery spread of one to two weeks; plan temporary housing in Kent accordingly.
Compare a full-service van line against a container service; for a small household the container often wins.
Ask about consolidated versus dedicated truck options—dedicated is faster but costs more.
Read the FMCSA 'Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move' booklet the carrier must provide.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Myrtle Beach to Kent?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $3,370 to $5,010 for a studio, $5,050 to $7,510 for a one-bedroom, $8,410 to $12,520 for a two-bedroom, $13,460 to $20,030 for a three-bedroom and $18,510 to $27,540 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Kent from Myrtle Beach?

About 2,862 road miles (2,425 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 50 hours (6 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 7 to 14 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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from South Carolina into Washington 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Myrtle Beach to Kent?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $3,990 to $5,630 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,570 to $5,260. 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.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

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 Myrtle Beach–Kent corridor.
