Moving Costs in Murrells Inlet, SC
Local movers typically charge a base dispatch or truck fee of $100 to $310, plus $100 to $150 per hour for a standard 2-person crew. Totals by home size run roughly $350-$600 for a studio or 1-bedroom, $900-$1,800 for a 2- to 3-bedroom, and $2,000-$3,500+ for a larger home. If you rent your own truck and hire local help just for loading and unloading, costs drop to about $150-$350 total.
A few things worth knowing before you book: the hourly clock usually starts when the crew leaves their dispatch point, so a company based further away bills you for their drive time too — ask where the truck comes from. Murrells Inlet's tight marsh-front roads and heavy tourist traffic can also mean a long-carry fee if a large truck cannot park close to your door.
Basic liability coverage is only $0.60 per pound per item by law — a 30-pound TV worth $2,000 would only pay out $18 if damaged, so ask about Full Value Protection for expensive items. Get any estimate in writing as a binding or not-to-exceed quote before moving day.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Georgetown County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 55% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
