Shipping in Myrtle Beach
What to know about moving a car in Myrtle Beach.
Myrtle Beach is the largest city in the Myrtle Beach–Conway–North Myrtle Beach metro area. It is in Horry County. About 39,700 people live here, according to the Census Bureau's 2023 estimate.
Myrtle Beach is not on an interstate. The closest is I-95, about 58 miles away in a straight line, and US-17 and US-501 are the main highways through town. Because of that, pickups here usually take a little more planning than in cities on a main truck route. Seasonal residents spend the winter in Myrtle Beach, so the busiest shipping months are fall arrivals and spring departures.
Myrtle Beach is on the Atlantic coast. That puts it inside the Atlantic hurricane season, June 1 through November 30, when storms can push pickup dates back.
Charleston, the largest city in South Carolina, is about 88 miles southwest in a straight line. The nearest other places with guides on this site are Conway (13 mi), Wilmington (67 mi), and Goose Creek (81 mi). The closest major out-of-state market is Raleigh, NC, about 147 miles away.

Pickup & delivery
Local considerations for Myrtle Beach.
Hurricane season
From June 1 through November 30, a storm along the Atlantic coast can push pickups and deliveries back. Keep your dates a little flexible, and we'll reschedule as soon as roads reopen.
Neighborhood rules
HOA rules, cul-de-sacs and low trees are common in Myrtle Beach's neighborhoods. A nearby shopping-center lot or main road is the usual backup.
Seasonal demand
Southbound demand into Myrtle Beach builds in October and November, and northbound demand peaks from March through May. Booking a few weeks ahead in those windows helps.
Off the interstate
With I-95 about 58 miles away, some carriers will ask to meet closer to the highway or along US-17. Door-to-door pickup is still the default whenever the truck can reach you.
