South Carolina: Accessibility, Weather, and Road Conditions
South Carolina, home to over 5.2 million residents and a GDP exceeding $320 billion, is a strategic transportation hub in the Southeast. Its robust highway network, including Interstates 26, 77, and 95, ensures efficient vehicle shipping across major metropolitan areas like Charleston, Columbia, and Greenville, as well as the state’s rural regions.
South Carolina’s mild winters make vehicle transport manageable throughout the year. However, the state’s rainy seasons and hurricane risks during late summer and fall, particularly in coastal areas, can pose challenges. To ensure smooth and safe transport, Auto Transport Professionals (ATP) continuously monitors updates from the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) on road conditions, traffic, and construction projects.
Additionally, ATP utilizes South Carolina 511 to stay updated on real-time weather conditions, including storms and road hazards that could impact shipping routes. By leveraging these tools and prioritizing safety, we ensure that every vehicle reaches its destination on time, regardless of the region or conditions.

FAQ
The time it takes to transport your vehicle varies based on several factors including total miles traveled. It can range from 1-2 days for short-haul transport and up to 7-10 days for cross-country transports. Once a truck has been assigned we will provide the actual pickup day and time along with an estimated delivery date. As we get closer to the day of delivery we will communicate the actual drop time window.
Yes, we can guarantee a specific pickup and/or delivery date. This guarantee will require additional fees to ensure the required dates are met. The majority of our transports are picked up and delivered in the window of time that our customers are willing to accept. However, keep in mind that picking up the vehicle does not necessarily mean it will be starting its journey that same day.
You may either pay a deposit before pickup by major credit card (3-4% processing fee depending on card type) and pay the remaining balance Cash On Delivery (COD) to the driver upon delivery or pay the full amount prior to delivery. Keep in mind if you are planning to pay COD, it must be done by cash, money order, or cashier’s check.
