The Cost of Labor-Only vs. Local-Full Service
Even after factoring in the cost of a rental truck, gas, and supplies, labor-only moving usually costs less than half of what you'd pay for local full-service. Full-service is definitely more convenientâbut that convenience comes at a price. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.
| Labor-Only | Local-Full Service | |
|---|---|---|
| Santa Clara, CA | $458.84 | $1,139.59 |
| California | $458.12 | $1,152.13 |
| The United States | $451.87 | $1,167.76 |
Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size
As mentioned above, it costs $458.84 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Santa Clara, CA, with an average hourly rate of $84.06. Your final price will depend on how long your move takes.
To get a better sense of what your move might cost, you can see the average cost for different-sized moves in the table below. Learn more about HireAHelper's methodology for calculating average costs based on proprietary data from over 1 million moves.
| Home Size | Average Cost | Average # of Movers | Average # of Hours |
| 1 Bedroom Apartment | $329.14 | 2.1 hours | |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | $378.87 | 2 movers | 2.3 hours |
| 3 Bedroom Apartment | $442.16 | 2 movers | 2.7 hours |

| 5 Bedroom House | $735.50 | 3 movers | 4 hours |
What Is Labor-Only?
When most people think of a moving company, they picture a full-service crew that loads, drives, and unloads everything. For in-town moves, this is known as local full-service.
Labor-only moving works differently. You handle the transportation (like a rental truck or PODS container) and we connect you with professional moving contractors to help load or unload your furniture and boxes.
While labor-only requires a bit more work on your end to coordinate all the details, it's considerably more affordable.

Our move in day went well with this team. We would like them to manage/work our next delivery. We are very comfortable with them. They worked very hard for us!
These guys are my heros! They were efficient, professional, and funny. They were able to get all of my stuff into one POD and saved me so much $$. A HUGE THANK YOU!
Tony and his crew did an amazing job loading my items into the container. They were very thoughtful & careful with my items. I was actually surprised with how much they were able to place inside and how well everything fit securely. I would definitely recommend Conner Moving services. Amazing company & knowledgeable staff.
Crew arrived on time and loaded according to instructions very quickly and carefully. Stuff was adequately stacked and secured. Can't really ask a lot more of loaders and movers.
They stepped up when the originally booked help never showed. They were on time, professional, worked hard and took care of all of my belongings. Highest recommendation I can give!
The gentleman were on time and professional. They came with extra supplies and were ready to start. I would definitely use them again. Thank you ??
Great job! Arrived on time, brought their own helpful equipment for carrying heavy furniture, and strategically packed the whole POD. Carried down and packed a 1bd apartment in just under 2hrs!
Juan texted me to inform me that he was on the way, and even arrived a few minutes early. I had two large mattresses and a large sectional sofa. They wrapped the furniture well, and moved it to the new house, putting everything in place. It was a great experience, and I plan to use them if I move again!
I’m really happy that I chose to hire the Make it Easy Moving Inc. The moving team was very supportive, respectful and skillful. They took care of our relocation with a great attitude and speed. Moving was completed within the promised timeframe and I can’t be more grateful! Highly recommend this company.
The two men who moved my furniture were professional and efficient. They took care with wrapping furniture items well and were patient with my direction of where to locate my items.
The three gentlemen were great! Very efficient, kind, thoroughly and carefully loaded everything into the container in two hours. I would highly recommend them.
They were timely, polite, funny and excellent movers. I would recommend them to anyone moving. They brought tools needed to put furniture back together. They were able to move all my furniture with no damage to any of it. Moving is always stressful and overstimulating and they managed to make it easy and stress free even in the rain. 10/10 I will use them for my next move!
Real Advice from Santa Clara Movers
"When moving into or out of Palo Alto, check with the City Hall regarding parking permits for moving trucks or PODS to avoid fines, especially in areas with restricted parking. For truck rentals, U-Haul on El Camino Real and Budget Truck Rental on the same street are reliable sources with a good selection of trucks; booking in advance is recommended. When driving a large rental truck, it’s advisable to use major roads like Alma Street or Middlefield Road instead of busy streets like University Avenue."
- Joshua's Moving Packing & Storage
"Always get advice on local rules and regulations, when we bring our truck to your area we have safety hazards precautions such as cones and to make sure everyone are safe."

The short answer is that booking with HireAHelper saves you hours of work, helps you get the best price and value, and protects you and your belongings. Here are some of the key ways HireAHelper makes booking movers better:
- Vetted Movers You Can Trust: Every mover on our platform is vetted, background-checked, and held to our high standards. And if anything goes wrong, we act as your advocate to find a resolution with your mover. If we canât find a resolution, our $1,000 Service Guarantee will cover you and your items.
- Book in Minutes, Not Hours: Contacting multiple local movers, comparing quotes, determining their availability, and researching their reputation can take hours of work. On the other hand, HireAHelper lets you easily compare the reputation of movers, instantly determine availability, see transparent pricing for each, and book online in just a few clicksâeven same-day in many areas.
- Dedicated Customer Support: Last minute questions are normal, and our experienced and friendly team is here 7 days a week to help with anything before, during, or after your move.
- Smart, Affordable Protection Options: HireAHelper offers an easy and affordable way to protect your items during a labor-only move. Our optional SmartProtection covers up to $10,000 worth of belongings, and the lowest tier ($2,500) is only $19.
- Best Price Guarantee: All these benefits must come at a higher price, right? Wrong. HireAHelperâs platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure youâre getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? Weâll match it. That means you donât pay extra to use HireAHelperâin fact, you may save money.
All Santa Clara movers listed on HireAHelper are required to provide standard repair coverage, which reimburses $0.60 per pound for damaged items. Some states may have different rules, and full-value protection is only required by the federal government for moves that cross state lines.
One of the advantages of booking with HireAHelper is that every move includes our $1,000 Service Guarantee. Plus, you can upgrade your protection by adding SmartProtectionâ˘âan optional coverage for labor-only moves that offers up to $10,000 in damage coverage, with multiple tiers to choose from.
Yes, professional movers will typically disassemble and reassemble furniture as part of the moving process. However, there are certain items that movers may not be able to disassemble. Learn more about how furniture disassembly and reassembly works when you hire movers.
One set of stairs is always included in your moverâs rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to get a quote and indicate the number of sets of stairs that you haveâmake sure to include stairs leading to a basement if you will have any items that need to be moved into or out of it. Read more about when movers charge extra for stairs.
You should start packing at least three to four weeks before your move, but the sooner the better. If you need to downsize or organize, we recommend starting that process 6-8 weeks before your move when at all possible.
Need to move in a hurry or don’t have time to pack? HireAHelper makes it easy to add professional packing as an add-on to your move. When available, you can get packing help for just several rooms or your whole home.
