While we ship vehicles to all 50 states, these are our most heavily requested outbound routes from South Carolina.
The South Carolina to Florida corridor is one of our highest-volume lanes. Retirees leaving the Upstate and Midlands head south to Florida communities every year. College students at Clemson and USC return cars to parents in the Tampa Bay or Miami metro areas each May. This route runs straight down I-95, making it efficient for our carriers.
South Carolina to North Carolina is a short, high-frequency run. Military families PCSing from Fort Jackson or Joint Base Charleston often land at Fort Bragg (now Liberty) or Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. Corporate transfers from Columbia to Charlotte happen constantly. Our drivers run this route multiple times per week via I-77 and I-95.
South Carolina snowbirds and college families send vehicles north to Pennsylvania every spring. Temple University and Penn State students whose families relocated to the Carolinas use this corridor frequently. The route runs the full length of I-95 through Virginia, Maryland, and into the Philadelphia area, covering roughly 700 to 800 miles.
Relocating to South Carolina? Here are the most common routes our carriers run inbound.
The New Jersey to South Carolina corridor is booming. Remote workers and retirees fleeing New Jersey's high taxes and cost of living are flocking to the Charleston suburbs and Hilton Head Island in record numbers. This move is one of the most talked-about demographic shifts on the East Coast right now. Our carriers run this I-95 corridor constantly.
Massachusetts to South Carolina is a classic quality-of-life relocation route. Boston-area professionals are moving to Greenville, Columbia, and the Charleston metro for lower home prices and a warmer climate. The distance is roughly 1,100 miles down I-95. Our carriers cover this route weekly with both open and enclosed trailer options available.
Connecticut residents are among the most active relocators to South Carolina's coastal communities. The Myrtle Beach and Hilton Head areas have large communities of former New England residents. Many bring a second vehicle down via transport after they settle in. Enclosed transport is popular on this route for protecting vehicles from road debris on the long I-95 haul.
South Carolina pricing depends on your pickup and drop-off zip codes, the time of year, and your vehicle type. Coastal deliveries near Charleston and Myrtle Beach may add a small premium due to bridge weight limits and tight beach-town streets. Moves during peak summer tourist season and fall hurricane season can push prices up 10 to 20 percent. Booking 2 to 3 weeks out during slower months like January or February locks in the best rates.
| Vehicle Type & Details | Open Transport | Enclosed Transport |
|---|---|---|
Compact / Mid-Size Sedan (e.g., Camry, Civic) Baseline pricing. These are lightweight, easy to load, and fit on any level of a standard 9-car carrier. | $350–$750 | $550–$1,050 |
Small SUV / Crossover (e.g., CR-V, RAV4) Slightly taller and heavier than standard sedans, resulting in a small premium ($50–$100) on open carriers. | $400–$820 | $620–$1,150 |
Large SUV / Minivan (e.g., Tahoe, Odyssey) These push the height and weight limits of a trailer. Carriers often must load them on the bottom row, taking up premium space. | $480–$950 | $720–$1,350 |
Full-Size Pickup Truck (e.g., F-150, Silverado 1500) The long wheelbase and high roofline mean a truck takes up significantly more trailer volume, commanding a higher rate. | $500–$1,000 | $780–$1,450 |
Heavy-Duty / Dually Truck (e.g., F-350, Ram 3500) Extremely heavy and wide. Duallys often take up two standard slots on a trailer or require a specialized flatbed hotshot. | $650–$1,200 | $950–$1,700 |
Electric Vehicle (EV) (e.g., Tesla, Rivian) EV battery packs make these vehicles 20% to 30% heavier than gas equivalents, heavily impacting the truck's strict DOT weight limits. | $500–$1,050 | $780–$1,500 |
Luxury / Low-Clearance Sports Car Low ground clearance requires trailers with hydraulic lift-gates. Enclosed transport is highly recommended for full protection. | $550–$1,100 | $850–$1,650 |
Motorcycle / ATV Shipped via specialized enclosed motorcycle carriers with custom soft-tie strapping systems. Usually much cheaper than a standard car. | $250–$550 | $380–$750 |

This is one of the most active southbound lanes on the entire East Coast. Seasonal snowbirds, military families, and retirees drive demand for this corridor year-round. Our carriers run I-95 south through Georgia and into Florida multiple times per week. Distance ranges from about 550 miles to Miami to under 400 miles to Jacksonville.
The Northeast-to-South migration is one of the biggest demographic stories in the United States right now. New Jersey residents are moving to South Carolina's coast and suburbs in large numbers, drawn by lower taxes and housing costs. This long I-95 haul covers roughly 800 miles and is a core corridor for our East Coast network.
College students, seasonal workers, and families with ties to both states keep this northbound lane busy every spring and fall. The move from South Carolina up to Boston or Springfield covers about 1,100 miles. We run this route along I-95 with reliable 3-to-5-day transit times depending on origin and destination cities.

Common questions about shipping vehicles to and from South Carolina
Transit time depends on where the car is coming from. A move from North Carolina or Georgia can take just 1 to 2 days. A shipment from New Jersey or Pennsylvania typically takes 2 to 4 days. Moves from the Midwest like Ohio or Illinois usually run 3 to 5 days. Cross-country moves from California or the Pacific Northwest take 7 to 10 days. These are transit times after pickup, and pickup itself typically happens within 1 to 3 business days of your requested date.
Yes, Furious Auto Shipping delivers door-to-door throughout South Carolina. However, full-size 9-car transport rigs are very long — often over 75 feet. In areas like the historic downtown Charleston peninsula south of Broad Street, narrow one-way streets and low-hanging tree canopies make it physically impossible for a large rig to reach certain addresses. The same applies to the gated resort communities on Hilton Head Island, where entry roads and roundabouts are designed for passenger vehicles only. In these cases, your driver will coordinate a nearby staging location just minutes from your door and you will pick up or meet the vehicle there.
January and February are consistently the most affordable months for shipping a car out of South Carolina. Myrtle Beach tourist season is completely over, university students are settled in for spring semester, and military PCS orders are at their annual low point. Carriers have extra capacity and are willing to move vehicles at lower rates to keep trucks full. If your move is flexible, targeting a mid-January through mid-February window can save you a meaningful amount compared to the peak summer rates that dominate June through August.
Yes, you can usually pack up to 100 pounds of personal items in the trunk or cargo area. However, everything must stay below the window line so the driver can see safely. Please note that carriers cannot transport heavy household goods, and your personal items are not covered by the truck's cargo insurance.
Yes, we can easily ship an inoperable vehicle to South Carolina. We just need to know in advance so we can send a truck equipped with a winch to safely pull your car onto the trailer. This service usually adds a small, standard fee to your total transport cost.
Either you or a trusted adult (over 18) must be present at delivery. This person needs to inspect the vehicle with the driver, compare it to the pickup condition report, and sign the final Bill of Lading to accept the delivery.
Yes. Because your car sits on our commercial trailer and is not being driven on public roads, it does not need active license plates, registration, or your personal auto insurance to be transported. You can handle the South Carolina SCDMV paperwork after we deliver it.
We believe in total transparency. Our dispatch team will give you regular updates as your vehicle crosses state lines. You will also have the direct phone number for the truck driver hauling your car, so you can call or text them for a real-time location update.
