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 youâd pay for local full-service. Full-service is definitely more convenientâbut 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 | |
|---|---|---|
| Albany, IN | $451.31 | $1,268.90 |
| Indiana | $451.31 | $1,268.90 |
| The United States | $451.87 | $1,167.76 |
Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size
As mentioned above, it costs $451.31 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Albany, IN, with an average hourly rate of $88.66. 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 | $366.64 | 2 movers | 2.2 hours |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | $422.03 | 2 movers | 2.4 hours |
| 3 Bedroom Apartment | $492.54 | 2 movers | 2.7 hours |
| 2 Bedroom House | $413.72 | 2 movers | 2.4 hours |
| 3 Bedroom House | $481.94 | 2 movers | 2.6 hours |
| 4 Bedroom House | $578.19 | 3 movers | 2.9 hours |
| 5 Bedroom House | $683.38 | 3 movers | 3.7 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, itâs considerably more affordable.
| Full-Service Moving | Labor-Only Moving | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $$$ | $ |
| Moving Truck | Included | You Provide |
| Loading Help | â | â |
| Unloading Help | â | â |
| Packing | Add-on | Add-on |

163 Albany Mover Reviews
On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 331,402 verified customer reviews
The guys worked very fast and unloaded our entire box truck in about 40 minutes. My only complaint is that they knocked out a light trying to get my couch up the stairs. Overall I'm very happy with the service.
I would absolutely recommend this company. The two young men that came to help us move my son into his new place were very polite, friendly and so helpful. They made sure before they left us that there was nothing more needed. They got the job done so quickly. We could not have done it without them. Will definitely use them again if needed. Job well done!!!
They did a good job and worked hard after they arrived. However, they were 2 hours late as they said the job before us required a lot more than they were told. We had scheduled for 9 a.m. they arrived around 11:00.
Extremely helpful, productive and efficient. We’ve used them twice now, and previously recommended them to friends that have used them and also highly rated their experience.
I cannot praise Robert, Joshua, Kyle, and Tee enough. They were on time, worked diligently the entire time, and packed my fragile furniture expertly so that it arrived in perfect condition. Special thanks to Robert for packing that UHaul so that absolutely nothing moved on the 8 hour journey. We loved the guys! I would refer them to anyone moving with a 5 star rating!
They did such a wonderful job. They worked hard to move all of my things in a timely manner and were very kind and courteous about all of it. They were lifesavers. I will absolutely have them move me again!!! Thank you!
Harold and his crew did a great job. They worked very efficiently, were courteous, and also respectful of our belongings. Would definitely recommend them.
Ryan and his crew were great. They showed up on time, took care of everything that was moved and gave us a heads up when time got close so that we could prioritize their time. They spent time getting everything up a 90 degree turn on the stairs, and the one thing that didnt fit he brought back down to make sure that it was in another room to our satisfaction. I would highly recommend.
Tom and Dennis from Moving that Worx were absolutely fantastic. They showed up promptly and well prepared. They were very professional and courteous. They took extra care with the items they moved and the house itself. I would definitely use them again.
They were on time, curious, careful and friendly. They placed furniture exactly where I requested and stacked boxes in an organized manner. I highly recommend Honest Services LLC!
They arrived early and worked very hard. They were very prepared for the job. They were very respectful of our property and very polite. They wore masks in this oppressive heat. I would highly recommend Elite Movers to everyone. They went above and beyond our expectations! The boss is an artist at packing! Thanks for a job well done! Think positive, Roy & Judy B.
A great unloading job. I had delays due to a malfunctioning truck, but this company was very helpful. They agreed to unload the truck the next day. The two men were on time and came prepared. They worked fast and were very careful with the furniture. They were very hard workers, and wasted no time or effort. I would definitely call them again, and recommend them to my friends. Dan Ingram

The short answer is that booking with HireAHelper saves you hours of work, helps you get the best price and value, and protects you and your belongings. Here are some of the key ways HireAHelper makes booking movers better:
- Vetted Movers You Can Trust: Every mover on our platform is vetted, background-checked, and held to our high standards. And if anything goes wrong, we act as your advocate to find a resolution with your mover. If we canât find a resolution, our $1,000 Service Guarantee will cover you and your items.
- Book in Minutes, Not Hours: Contacting multiple local movers, comparing quotes, determining their availability, and researching their reputation can take hours of work. On the other hand, HireAHelper lets you easily compare the reputation of movers, instantly determine availability, see transparent pricing for each, and book online in just a few clicksâeven same-day in many areas.
- Dedicated Customer Support: Last minute questions are normal, and our experienced and friendly team is here 7 days a week to help with anything before, during, or after your move.
- Smart, Affordable Protection Options: HireAHelper offers an easy and affordable way to protect your items during a labor-only move. Our optional SmartProtection covers up to $10,000 worth of belongings, and the lowest tier ($2,500) is only $19.
- Best Price Guarantee: All these benefits must come at a higher price, right? Wrong. HireAHelperâs platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure youâre getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? Weâll match it. That means you donât pay extra to use HireAHelperâin fact, you may save money.
All Albany movers listed on HireAHelper are required to provide standard repair coverage, which reimburses $0.60 per pound for damaged items. Some states may have different rules, and full-value protection is only required by the federal government for moves that cross state lines.
One of the advantages of booking with HireAHelper is that every move includes our $1,000 Service Guarantee. Plus, you can upgrade your protection by adding SmartProtectionâ˘âan optional coverage for labor-only moves that offers up to $10,000 in damage coverage, with multiple tiers to choose from.
Yes, professional movers will typically disassemble and reassemble furniture as part of the moving process. However, there are certain items that movers may not be able to disassemble. Learn more about how furniture disassembly and reassembly works when you hire movers.
One set of stairs is always included in your moverâs rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to get a quote and indicate the number of sets of stairs that you haveâmake sure to include stairs leading to a basement if you will have any items that need to be moved into or out of it. Read more about when movers charge extra for stairs.
You should start packing at least three to four weeks before your move, but the sooner the better. If you need to downsize or organize, we recommend starting that process 6-8 weeks before your move when at all possible.
Need to move in a hurry or don’t have time to pack? HireAHelper makes it easy to add professional packing as an add-on to your move. When available, you can get packing help for just several rooms or your whole home.
