Car Shipping Between Charlotte and Columbia, SC

- Straight down I-77 through Rock Hill
- Midlands dealers, students and families
- Every carrier vetted before pickup
A straight run down I-77
This lane is I-77 the whole way. The truck leaves Charlotte heading south, crosses into South Carolina at Fort Mill, passes Rock Hill and Chester, and comes into Columbia through Blythewood. No turns onto other interstates are needed.
On the Columbia end we cover the city and the Midlands around it: Lexington, Irmo, Chapin, Cayce, West Columbia, Forest Acres and Blythewood. Columbia is where I-20, I-26 and I-77 meet, so a car that needs to keep going toward Charleston, Augusta or Florence can continue from here.
Who ships between Charlotte and Columbia
Dealers trading across the state line. Charlotte and Midlands stores swap units all the time, and putting the trade on a truck keeps your porters on the lot and the miles off the car. York County stores along I-77 fit on the same run.
Students. The University of South Carolina brings a steady flow of cars into Columbia in August and out again in May. Parents in the Charlotte area ship a car to campus so the student has it for the year.
Military families and state workers. Fort Jackson trains soldiers right in Columbia, and families on new orders often ship a second car. State government jobs bring relocations in and out of the capital too.
Getting a Columbia order on a truck
Send us where the car is, where it is going, the year, make and model, and whether it runs. A real person quotes it. Once you say yes, we vet the carrier, lock in the driver and truck, and confirm the pickup window and the expected delivery window with you before dispatch.
Every order lands in the portal at fctorders.com. Sign in with your email and a 6-digit code to see all your orders, follow the driver while they are on I-77, and pull the delivery BOL when the car arrives. You talk to the same person from the quote to the drop-off.
Open, enclosed or not running
Open transport fits most cars on this lane. Enclosed is there for classic, luxury and exotic cars. If the car does not start, it can still be moved, but the carrier needs a winch or other equipment, so tell us before we book.
