The Cost of Hiring Movers in Lake, IN

On average, it costs $378.65 to hire moving helpers in Lake, IN. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Lake, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $83.36.

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 Lake, IN is $943.43, with an average hourly rate of $121.09. 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.

Two young men went above and beyond working tirelessly. My only complaint is I was told by the person on the phone I would be able to add extra time if needed and although I needed more time the men were not available as they were scheduled for two more jobs today.

Chris and Victor did a fantastic job again! I hope we can get such an efficient crew to help us unload in Michigan. They again looked at what had to be moved and sized it all up. How they get so much in the Pod is amazing. Everything was well protected. 10/10!

Ganga Movers were fantastic from start to finish. They arrived exactly on schedule, kept us updated every step of the way, and unloaded our belongings with impressive speed and care. Even Chicago’s unpredictable traffic was not a problem; the crew adjusted on the fly and still finished ahead of time. Highly recommended for anyone seeking efficient, reliable movers in the city.
