The Cost of Hiring Movers in Lancaster, SC

On average, it costs $357.40 to hire moving helpers in Lancaster, SC. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Lancaster, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $78.95.

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 Lancaster, SC is $1,368.50, with an average hourly rate of $89.23. 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.

Since we are an older couple, we needed help loading all our heavy furniture. Done Right Moving did a great job! The two young men (Eli and Justin) worked very hard, were polite and were very protective and careful with our furniture. I would hire them again, if needed.

Lonnie and Zach were great. It took a little longer than expected but it was only because they handled everything with care. I was convinced all my will never fit and truly it’s the experience of the team that made it work where everything was nicely stacked up. I would love working with them again.
