South Carolina
South Carolina car shipping from right next door
Our desk sits near Charlotte, just above the state line, so South Carolina is home ground. We move cars across the Upstate, the Midlands, the Lowcountry and the Grand Strand for dealers and for people shipping their own car.
- Next door to our Charlotte-area base
- Dealer trades, auction pickups and single cars
- Open and enclosed trailers
How South Carolina connects to Charlotte
South Carolina starts a few exits below Charlotte. I-77 runs straight south past Fort Mill and Rock Hill to Columbia. I-85 heads southwest through Gaffney and Spartanburg to Greenville, then on toward Georgia. From Columbia, I-26 drops down to Charleston and I-20 runs east to Florence, where it meets I-95 on its way along the eastern side of the state.
That puts most of the state on a straight interstate run from our desk. Myrtle Beach and the rest of the Grand Strand sit out on the coast east of I-95, and we ship there as well. We run set lanes from Charlotte to Columbia, Charlotte to Greenville and Charlotte to Charleston.
For South Carolina dealers
A trade between a York County store and a Charlotte store, or between Greenville and Columbia, is a short in-region run for us. We handle dealer trades, auction pickups, new vehicle and customer deliveries, store-to-store moves, off-lease returns and several units at once. If your usual carrier falls through on a Friday, call us as the backup hauler.
You get the same contact on every order. Send the pickup, drop-off and VIN to the dealer desk and we confirm the window before the truck is booked. On loads under our Guaranteed Delivery Rate, the delivery window is in writing; terms apply. Statewide dealer coverage is laid out on our South Carolina dealer transport page.
For people shipping their own car
Plenty of single-car moves in South Carolina start with a school or a set of orders. Clemson and the University of South Carolina bring in students from out of state, and Fort Jackson in Columbia sends and receives service members on new orders. Others are families relocating for work, snowbirds splitting the year between the coast and a home up north, and buyers who found the right car a few states away.
Everyday cars ride on open trailers. Classic, exotic and high-value cars go in enclosed trailers. Before pickup, run through our vehicle prep checklist.
How a South Carolina move works with FCT
- Send the move. Pickup, drop-off, the vehicle and when it is ready, by the quote form, email or a call to (980) 552-1101.
- A real person quotes it. No price tables and no instant quote. The price depends on the lane, the trailer and the timing.
- We book a vetted carrier. Every carrier is checked before it touches the car, every shipment is fully insured, and the driver and truck are confirmed before pickup.
- The windows are set. Pickup and expected delivery windows are confirmed before the truck rolls. If something changes once the car is on the road, we call you before you have to ask.
- Track it and sign off. Log in at fctorders.com with your email and a 6-digit code. You see every order, the driver's live location while the driver is active, and the delivery BOL for each car.
We move all of these, on open or enclosed trailers:
- Compact cars
- Sedans
- SUVs

South Carolina car shipping questions
Do you cover all of South Carolina or only near Charlotte?
All of it. We ship to and from the Upstate, the Midlands, the Pee Dee, the Lowcountry and the Grand Strand, and from South Carolina to anywhere in the continental U.S.
Can you move a car from South Carolina to another state?
Yes. Send the pickup and drop-off addresses, the vehicle and when it is ready, and a real person at our desk quotes the move.
Do you work with South Carolina dealerships?
Yes. We handle dealer trades, auction pickups, customer deliveries and store-to-store moves. Dealers can reach the desk at (980) 552-1101 with the VIN and both addresses.
Can you ship a South Carolina car that does not run?
Yes, in most cases. A non-running car needs different equipment to load, so tell us up front and we plan the carrier around it.
