The Cost of Hiring Movers in Chester, SC

On average, it costs $400.48 to hire moving helpers in Chester, SC. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Chester, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $80.86.

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 Chester, SC is $903.05, with an average hourly rate of $118.07. 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.

Both men were on time, polite, respectful and extremely hard workers, very strong. My husband and I couldn't believe they were able to pack all out items, furniture, boxes and more in the Pod. You are lucky to have them in your employ.
