HireAHelper's Best Price Guarantee Find a lower price for the same move? We'll match it. You can book with the confidence that you are getting the best value for your move. Learn more. |
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 convenientābut 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 | |
|---|---|---|
| Alamo, CA | $417.10 | $1,079.43 |
| 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 $417.10 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Alamo, CA, with an average hourly rate of $87.79. 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 | $357.56 | 2 movers | 2.1 hours |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | $411.58 | 2 movers | 2.3 hours |
| 3 Bedroom Apartment | $480.34 | 2 movers | 2.6 hours |
| 2 Bedroom House | $381.98 | 3 movers | 2.5 hours |
| 3 Bedroom House | $444.97 | 3 movers | 2.7 hours |
| 4 Bedroom House | $533.84 | 4 movers | 3 hours |
| 5 Bedroom House | $630.95 | 4 movers | 3.9 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.
| Full-Service Moving | Labor-Only Moving | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $$$ | $ |
| Moving Truck | Included | You Provide |
| Loading Help | ā | ā |
| Unloading Help | ā | ā |
| Packing | Add-on | Add-on |

Great service, responsible and helpful. They quickly wrapped everything so nothing would get dirty as well as thoughtfully organized our pod so everything would fit. We wouldn’t have been able to do it without them.
Juan and Santiago Did a wonderful job unloading our moving truck and removing heavy items out of our home. I definitely recommend and to have them come back and do another job. Thank You very much Correnna.
Joe and Carlos were exactly on time and were professional, flexible, and efficient - even when challenged by the distance between our PODS location and the apartment to which we were unloading. Everything was handled extremely well and with care, and we would certainly use ProLoad again for our moving/load/unload needs.
Tony and the crew were amazing! So pleasant and super efficient. They did an absolutely amazing job. I highly recommend Hire a Helper and this crew especially! Erin and Rebecca Wolf
Douglas and Joseph did an amazing job. They paid close attention to detail and moved everything carefully. They had no problem following our labeling system and organizing preferences. Would absolutely recommend and will hire them again in the future!
I needed HireAHelper to unload an 12ft. container. I was new to the process and Tony was helpful with explaining the process from the initial call to the work finished final email. As well, they handled all the items that were jumbled during transit. Very grateful for their help. I could start putting things away and assembling items.
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!
My only disappointment was they said they arrived 15 minutes before they actually did so they did not do 15 minutes of work that I would have benefited from and that I paid for. I didn’t feel comfortable being confrontational about the time discrepancy, but when I checked my call log they arrived at 11:44am but they said they arrived at 11:30.
Perfectly done. ?? % recommend the crew. Moises the leader, was awesome and helped us get the job done in less than 2 hours. Wonderful! Also, they were early, which was a pleasant and welcome surprise. Professional, fast, efficient!! Grateful! Thank you!!
The movers that helped my daughter move out of her dorm were excellent! They were very professional, and did their best to complete the move within the two hour window. I really appreciate that.
Conner movers are AMAZING!! They did just an awesome job, handled my belongings with so much care. They are the best in my opinion and I have used Hire a helper a few times. Thank you again Mr Conner for great service
Robert and Jesus are the best!!!! Very professional and friendly. They were right on time and got the job done in a timely manner. They were respectful of the items and went above and beyond to pack them carefully. I would highly recommend them.
