The Cost of Hiring Movers in Alexandria City, VA

On average, it costs $303.01 to hire moving helpers in Alexandria City, VA. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Alexandria City, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $75.39.

These average costs reflect “labor-only” moves—where you hire movers to load or unload your rental truck, shipping container (like a PODS container), or storage unit. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to move and is often far more affordable than hiring a full-service moving company—more on that below.

The Cost of Full-Service Moving

The average cost of a local full-service move in Alexandria City, VA is $730.89, with an average hourly rate of $119.51. Full-service moves do cost more, but they come with serious convenience—you won’t need to rent a truck, drive it, or coordinate a shipping container.

Prefer the all-in-one, hands-off experience? Full-service might be your move. Here’s how it compares to labor-only options.

Bill and Yak were friendly and worked hard, carrying boxes and furniture up a flight of stairs efficiently and carefully. They were friendly and fast. They arrived late because their previous job took much longer than scheduled, but Moving With Pride called me in advance to give me a new ETA. They made my move smooth and stress-free and I'd use them again.

They were absolutely fantastic, seasoned professionals that worked fast and efficiently. We are using pods to move and the packing job Kendall did in the pod was perfect. Tight fit and no wasted space. Kind and courteous, they should be at the top of anyones list to help move and were truly awesome!! Nate

I had a great experience with DMV Discount Moving & Cleaning. The crew showed up right on time, came ready to go, and got straight to work. It was really nice to see a father-son team—there was a great dynamic between them, and you could tell they take pride in their work. They were super careful with my stuff and really respectful of the space. I’d definitely hire them again!
