Look for Southwest Movers Association membership as a baseline when comparing movers in Texas beyond this list.

  1. Safeway Moving (4.9/5 stars): Safeway Moving is our pick for best overall value. Flat-rate pricing, 24/7 support, and 30 days of free storage make Safeway the clearest value on this list.
  2. American Van Lines (4.9/5 stars): American Van Lines is the most experienced mover on this list. AVL has been moving customers since 1995 and uses full-time in-house crews trained on high-value items like art and antiques.
  3. Allied Van Lines (4.2/5 stars): Allied Van Lines is best for contents coverage. One of the largest van line networks in North America, Allied offers fragile-only packing, 24/7 monitoring, and an optional full-value protection plan against damage, loss, and breakage.

Good to know: For moves over 500 miles, national carriers are typically lower-priced than local moving companies in Greenville, SC. At that distance, local movers often charge 30% - 40% more because they don't spread long-haul costs across multiple shipments the way national carriers do. If a direct route and faster delivery (averaging 2 days) are priorities, a local mover may be worth considering, but that service comes at a higher price.

Moving container costs from Greenville, SC to Dallas, TX

Moving containers from Greenville, South Carolina, to Dallas, Texas, cost between $1,185 and $3,846. You load everything on your own schedule (U-Haul gives you 3 days and PODS gives you 30). When you're ready, the company takes care of getting the container from point A to point B. Need more time than that? Extra storage in Greenville typically runs around $85/month.

Take a look at moving container pricing by home size from Greenville to Dallas:

  • Studio apartment / 1 bedroom: $1,185 - $2,176
  • 2 - 3 bedrooms: $1,525 - $2,993
  • 4+ bedrooms: $2,156 - $3,846

What other costs come with moving containers?

  • Access: Most major container brands operate in both Greenville, SC and Dallas, TX. Still, double-check that a nearby facility is available if you need to access your belongings before delivery.
  • Moving labor: Because containers are self-loaded, many customers hire hourly help. Two movers for about 5 hours typically cost around $662 in Greenville, SC, according to moveBuddha data. Compare the best labor-only movers nationwide
  • Storage: Monthly container rental after the first 30 days averages $71 for small units (7 - 8 feet) and about $142 for larger ones (12 - 16 feet).
  • Added contents protection: For more coverage beyond the standard minimum, full-value protection is the typical upgrade, generally 1% - 2% of your declared shipment value. On a $50,000 household, that's roughly $500 - $1,000 as a one-time fee.

Every price below reflects an actual quote from a moveBuddha reader planning a South Carolina to Texas move in the past 90 days. Our pricing data is drawn from 1,500+ monthly data points across our vetted mover network and refreshed every month.

Pro tip: Before ordering moving containers, take a careful inventory of everything you're moving. A typical 1-bedroom home weighs around 3,000 pounds and fits in a single container starting at $1,185. Underestimating and needing 1 - 2 additional containers can push your total to $1,525 - $2,993, so getting your count right upfront saves you from a costly surprise.

4+ bedrooms20 - 26 ft (typically requires diesel)

These are typical moving truck rental costs from Greenville to Dallas based on home size:

  • Studio apartment / 1 bedroom: $674 - $1,289
  • 2 - 3 bedrooms: $678 - $1,488
  • 4+ bedrooms: $931 - $1,772

Pro tip: A rental truck from Greenville to Dallas looks affordable at first glance, with base rates of $674 - $1,772. But once you factor in fuel ($279 - $319) , overnight lodging ($142/night), meals, and equipment rentals, most people end up spending $600 - $1,200 more than the base rate suggests. Building that into your budget upfront saves you from sticker shock at the end of the move.

Freight trailer costs from Greenville, SC to Dallas, TX

If you're moving a larger household from Greenville, South Carolina, and want to stay in control of the loading process, freight trailers offer a practical middle ground between hiring movers and renting a truck yourself. A 28-foot trailer is delivered to your door, you load what you need, and the carrier handles the drive to Dallas, Texas.

Freight trailers are priced by the linear feet your belongings take up, so you only pay for the space you use. Most moves on this route fall between $1,207 and $2,540.

Take a look at freight trailer costs based on home size for moves from Greenville to Dallas:

  • Studio apartment / 1 bedroom: $1,089 - $2,056
  • 2 - 3 bedrooms: $1,207 - $2,540
  • 4+ bedrooms: $1,609 - $3,078

Pro tip: Loading a freight trailer is a bit different from filling a container. The 4-foot ramp can be steep with large items, and getting the most out of 8 feet of vertical clearance takes planning. Since pricing is based on linear feet used, every inch of wasted space has a cost.

What other costs come with freight trailers?

  • More space: Freight trailers are billed by the section you fill. If you misjudge your shipment size, each extra foot of trailer space adds around $71 - $142 to your final bill.
  • Peak season pricing: Expect higher rates during peak season (mid-May to mid-September) when trailer availability tightens across the country.
  • Moving labor: Loading is on you unless you hire outside help. A half-day crew of two movers in Greenville, South Carolina, typically costs $662.

What are the best freight companies from Greenville to Dallas?

  1. MovingYourself (5/5 stars): MovingYourself is best for large moves. Primarily known as a top moving container option for its DIY hybrid model where customers load and the company drives, MovingYourself also functions as a strong freight option thanks to its 53-foot trucks and pay-only-for-the-space-you-use pricing.
  2. U-Pack (5/5 stars): U-Pack is the best value freight trailer on this list. Best known for its container service, U-Pack also runs a top-notch freight trailer operation with the same no-deposit, pay-by-the-foot approach that keeps overall costs lower than most freight competitors.
  3. Acme Logistics, Inc. (4.46/5 stars): Acme Logistics, Inc. is the best locally owned freight company on this list. Locally owned facilities and accessible live support staff make scheduling and route coordination easier on local-area routes than what most national freight providers can offer.

Pro tip: Freight trailers are a great option when you need your belongings in Dallas fast. For interstate moves, freight is one of the quickest delivery methods out there. Just keep in mind that freight carriers expect you to be available to receive your shipment, so it works best when your move-in is locked in and you don't need temporary storage on either end.

Cost of living: Greenville, SC vs Dallas, TX

Good news for your budget: Dallas isn't meaningfully more or less expensive to live in than Greenville.

FAQs: Moving from Greenville, SC, to Dallas, TX

What are the best neighborhoods in Dallas?

For families, Preston Hollow, Lake Highlands, and Uptown are worth a look in Dallas. If you're moving solo or without kids, Bishop Arts District, Deep Ellum, and Design District tend to be popular picks instead.

What is the cheapest way to move from Greenville, SC to Dallas, TX?

Renting a moving truck is almost always the most affordable option, since you handle the loading, driving, and unloading yourself. A 2-bedroom rental truck move on this route averages $678 - $1,488. See our cheapest truck rental recommendations for the lowest available rates on your DIY move.

Is Dallas a safe place to live?

Dallas has a safety index of 48.6 out of 100 and a crime index of 51.4, compared to 61.44 and 38.56 in Greenville. Neither figure tells the whole story on its own, so it's worth digging into specific neighborhoods before you commit to an address.

What size moving truck do I need for this route?

Rental trucks generally range from 10 to 26 feet. A 15- to 17-foot truck covers most 2-bedroom moves, while a smaller 10- to 12-foot truck works for a studio or 1-bedroom. Homes with 3 or more bedrooms usually need a 20- to 26-foot truck, and anything that size typically runs on diesel rather than gas.

What is the best time of year to move from Greenville, SC to Dallas, TX?

Aim for a move between October and March, when demand drops and rates tend to be lower across all service types. Peak season runs mid-May through mid-September, and weekends and month-end dates are pricier regardless of season. Texas also has a hurricane season running June through November, worth factoring into your timing if you have flexibility. A midweek, mid-month date outside peak season is your best bet for saving money.
