Timing
When to Ship New Mexico to South Carolina
Atlantic storms and beach season set the timing.
Monsoon Season
July through September brings afternoon storms and flash flooding around Albuquerque and Las Cruces. Morning pickups are easier.
Hurricane Season
From June through November, a storm can delay Charleston, Hilton Head, and Grand Strand deliveries.
Beach Summer
Myrtle Beach and Hilton Head traffic is heavy on summer weekends.
Spring
Usually the smoothest window.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From New Mexico to South Carolina?
Here's what decides the price on a trip to South Carolina.
Upstate vs. the Coast
Greenville and Columbia come first. Charleston and the coast add 75 to 150 miles.
Gated Communities
Hilton Head, Kiawah, and many coastal neighborhoods restrict big trucks.
Pickup Location
Albuquerque runs on I-40. Las Cruces runs across Texas on I-10.
Vehicle Size
Pickups and SUVs take more trailer space than a sedan.
Open or Enclosed
Open is standard. Enclosed keeps dust off a nicer car.
Lead Time
Two weeks of notice gives us the best shot at your date.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
What to know before your car heads to South Carolina.
Registering in South Carolina
New residents have 45 days to title and register. You'll pay county property tax first, then visit the SCDMV. South Carolina doesn't require a safety or emissions inspection. Check scdmvonline.com for current requirements.
Gated Communities
Gated communities on Hilton Head and along the Grand Strand often keep car haulers out. The driver will meet you at the gate.
Charleston Streets
The peninsula's narrow historic streets can't fit a carrier. Plan to meet at a lot or on a wider road.
Las Cruces and Southern New Mexico Pickups
Las Cruces sits where I-10 meets I-25, which makes trips east and west easy. Deming is on I-10, and Silver City is a longer reach off US-180, so rural pickups there often mean meeting in town.
