When to ship to and from South Carolina
Hurricane season
Hurricane season on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts runs from June 1 to November 30. A storm can delay pickup or delivery near the coast, and carriers won't load or unload during an evacuation.
Peak moving season
June to August is the busiest moving season in North America: school-year moves, new jobs and military transfers all land in summer. Posting early gives you more quotes and more choice of dates.
Moving to South Carolina?
Once the car arrives, register it with the South Carolina DMV. Ask what it needs for a vehicle registered somewhere else (often a VIN check, an inspection or an emissions test) before your old plates or insurance run out.
Shipping across the Canadian border? Only companies that handle cross-border work will quote, and you'll need the ownership or title, ID and a signed authorization letter; permanent imports have extra steps. Each cross-border route page explains the paperwork.
