Frequently Asked Questions About Movers in Greenville, SC

Here are straight answers to the questions Greenville customers ask most before they book.

How much do movers in Greenville, SC cost?

Local moves start at $180 per hour for 2 movers and 1 truck, and a 3-mover crew with 1 truck costs $265 per hour. Stairs, elevators, long carries and specialty items add time or cost. Long-distance moves get a flat rate quote.

How far in advance should I book a Greenville mover?

For local moves in Greenville, booking two to four weeks out is ideal. For long-distance moves or peak summer dates, reserve as early as possible to secure your preferred date and time slot.

What do you need to book my move?

We take a refundable deposit by card over the phone. Local moves need the first hour of each booked day, and out-of-state moves need 20% of the total. You get a full refund if you cancel at least 48 hours before the move.

How do you build my moving estimate?

For large moves, we visit your home or review a video of every item. For smaller jobs, we quote by phone or email from a detailed inventory list.

Do you offer storage in Greenville?

Yes. Our Simpsonville warehouse stores household goods in vaults and uses racking, pallets, and oversized storage for larger items such as boats and pianos. Every residential move includes two months of free storage, and you can store short-term or long-term.

How can I check that a Greenville moving company is licensed?

Ask for its PUC number for moves within South Carolina and its USDOT and MC numbers for interstate moves. You can look up USDOT and MC numbers on the FMCSA website. Our numbers appear in the facts list near the top of this page.

Do you handle apartment moves in Downtown Greenville?

Yes. Our apartment movers regularly complete moves in Downtown Greenville, West End, Augusta Road, and Pelham Road, and we coordinate directly with building managers on elevator reservations and truck parking.

Which Downtown Greenville buildings need a certificate of insurance or a reserved elevator?

Many managed apartment and condo buildings in Downtown Greenville and along Main Street require both. Ask your building manager about their rules as soon as you have a move date, then send the details to us. We coordinate directly with building managers on elevator reservations and truck parking, so the crew starts working instead of waiting on the clock.

Where does the moving truck park on narrow streets in older Greenville neighborhoods?

Streets in older neighborhoods like North Main, Augusta Road and Overbrook can be narrow, with cars parked on both sides. Tell us about tight streets, low branches or a shared driveway when you book. Save curb space in front of the house the night before, and the truck can park close to your door, which cuts carry time.

What if my apartment complex has difficult loading access?

Third-floor walkups, gated entries and parking lots far from your unit all add carry time. Send us the gate code, the closest parking spot to your building and your floor number before move day. A long walk from the door to the truck counts toward the time on an hourly move.

When do Furman and North Greenville University move-in weeks fill the moving calendar?

Mid-August is one of the busiest stretches of the year in the Upstate. North Greenville University checks in new students on a Saturday in mid-August, and Furman University holds new student move-in on a Thursday a few days later. If your move falls in the second half of August, book as early as you can.

How do steep driveways or tight stairways change crew size and moving time?

Steep driveways keep the truck farther from the door, and older homes often have narrow stairways and tight turns that slow down large furniture. Both add time, and on bigger homes a third mover can keep the job on pace. Mention these details during your estimate so we can match the crew size to your home.

Can you move pianos, gun safes, or antiques in Greenville?

Yes. We move upright and baby grand pianos, grandfather clocks and gun safes for an added charge. We do not move sheds or items over 1,000 pounds. We move pool tables, grand pianos, saunas, large swing sets and trampolines only when they are already taken apart, and we do not reassemble them.

Can I leave clothes in my dresser drawers?

Yes, if the dresser weighs about 200 pounds or less. Take out breakables and valuables first. Empty dressers with granite or marble tops and any furniture with thin legs.

Do you offer labor-only moving help?

Yes. If you have rented a truck or container, our Greenville crews can provide loading, unloading, or in-home furniture rearranging on a labor-only basis.

Can a move be completed without full-service packing?

Yes. Many moves are completed without full-service packing, especially when customers pack their own boxes and only need help with loading, transport, and unloading. If you have fragile items, limited time, or a large household, full-service packing is often the smoother option.

Can I lower the cost of my move?

Yes. Pack and label your own boxes before the crew arrives and clear a path from each room to the door. Hourly moves bill for crew time, so less work on move day means a smaller bill.

Should I tip my movers?

Tips are welcome but never required. Customers who tip often give $10 per mover per hour.

Do you offer financing for a move?

Yes. Our moving financing lets you spread the cost of your move over time.
