Charleston Moving Company FAQs

Mako Movers local crew rates are $130-$160 per hour for 2 movers, $200-$230 per hour for 3 movers, and $260-$290 per hour for 4 movers. Your final Charleston moving cost also depends on access, inventory, packing, travel time, and expected hours.

Red flags include no SC PSC license, vague hourly rates, large required deposits, no written estimate, poor communication, and crews that cannot explain valuation or insurance. Mako Movers publishes PSC #9877 and USDOT #3438970 so customers can verify the company before booking.

The common hidden costs are travel time, stairs, long carries, packing materials, heavy-item handling, elevator delays, fuel, and minimum-hour rules. A short move can still run longer when access is tight, so Mako confirms these details before scheduling the crew.
