Consider these elements for a stress-free move

Have important documentation: Places like high-rises and managed apartments will often require a copy of your mover's insurance and elevator reservation on moving day.
Get approval: Check ahead with any neighborhood, community, or HOA rules on moving to ensure a smooth move.
Secure a parking permit (if needed): Residents of Myrtle Beach with personal vehicles or motorcycles registered within the city limits and who have paid city property taxes can obtain residential parking decals online or in-person at the Reef Parking Office during weekdays between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Vehicle property taxes count as parking payment, regardless of whether the owner uses public parking.
Check state licensing laws: To promote safety, economic development, and ethical business practices, the South Carolina Office of Regulatory Staff (ORS) oversees movers in the state. They are responsible for inspecting, examining, and auditing public utility providers like movers.
Invest in moving insurance: When moving in South Carolina, explore movers' insurance options. Many offer Released Value Protection at no extra cost, covering items at 60 cents per pound. For enhanced protection, discuss Full Value Protection with the moving company or consider third-party insurance providers. Prioritize understanding coverage limits and potential extra costs. Read reviews to make an informed decision on the best insurance for your South Carolina move.

Work with your movers to ensure all these items are taken care of before moving day.

Average cost to rent a moving container in North Myrtle Beach

North Myrtle Beach has plenty of moving container companies to choose from. The containers are delivered, you load everything into them, the company picks it up, and it gets put in storage until you're ready for everything to be delivered to your new place.

Naturally, the advantage with containers like PODS and U-Pack is storage. These things will buy you time if you end up with a weird gap between leases.

Here's roughly what moving containers in North Myrtle Beach are going to cost:

Storage fee: $79.95 per 30 days
Initial delivery: $72.0
Final delivery fee: $92.0
Damage coverage: $10–$350 based on coverage level
Parking permit (if necessary): Residents of Myrtle Beach with personal vehicles or motorcycles registered within the city limits and who have paid city property taxes can obtain residential parking decals online or in-person at the Reef Parking Office during weekdays between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Vehicle property taxes count as parking payment, regardless of whether the owner uses public parking.
Door lock (if necessary): $10–$15
Equipment costs (if necessary): Dolly, straps, blankets (optional)

Storing everything in a one-bedroom will end up costing somewhere around $254–$634 door to door. Still, you might want to factor in a little extra in case you end up paying for labor.

Each large container holds about three rooms until it's completely full. You might end up needing more containers, but keep in mind that your cost will essentially double with each container you add.
