Moving Companies in Union, SC
Union area moving costs
Union is a smaller community with few movers based directly in town, so most residents use regional crews out of Spartanburg, Greenville, or Columbia. Expect $135 to $140 per hour for a standard two-person crew, rising to $180 to $250 or more for a three to four person team, plus a base or travel fee of $150 to $310.
Ways to keep the bill down
- A two-hour minimum is standard, so even a 45-minute job floors out around $420 to $550 once the base fee is added
- Renting your own truck and hiring labor-only help can save 20 to 30 percent, often averaging $80 to $110 an hour for two loaders
- Never accept a vague phone quote — get a written binding, or binding-not-to-exceed, estimate after a walkthrough
- A truck that cannot park within 75 to 100 feet of your door, or multiple flights of stairs, usually adds a long-carry or stair fee
- Basic liability pays only $0.60 per pound per item, so a broken 30-pound, $1,000 TV nets just $18 without upgraded coverage
Since Union has few movers based directly in town, comparing at least two regional quotes side by side is the clearest way to see whether a travel fee is reasonable for the distance involved.

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 Union County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 44% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
