Moving Costs in Port Royal, SC
Labor-only help — loading or unloading a truck you have already rented — runs $323.97 to $626.03 in Port Royal, close to $85.96 per hour. A full-service move with a truck and crew for a typical home ranges from $300 to $1,500 or more, depending on home size and how far you are going.
A few local factors matter here. Port Royal's narrow historic streets, low-hanging trees, and HOA rules in newer developments can keep a large moving truck from parking close to your door, which some companies bill as a long-carry or shuttle fee — worth asking about ahead of time. The area's humid coastal weather also means sudden downpours; pack anything sensitive in plastic bins rather than plain cardboard boxes.
Basic liability coverage included by movers is limited to $0.60 per pound per item, so a 30-pound item worth $1,000 only pays out $18 if damaged — ask about Full Value Protection if that matters to you. Before booking, confirm the mover is registered with South Carolina's regulatory body and get a written, binding estimate rather than a verbal quote.

Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.

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 Beaufort County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 49% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
