The Cost of Hiring Movers in Altadena, CA

On average, it costs $303.32 to hire moving helpers in Altadena, CA. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Altadena, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $73.83.

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 Altadena, CA is $1,348.32, with an average hourly rate of $122.72. 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.

Antonio and Anthony were amazing! They unloaded our 16ft POD into an 2b2b apartment efficiently and quickly! Nothing was damaged as they were able to safely move everything. They finished in 2hrs which is definitely faster than I expected. Overall, fantastic experience and will definitely use them again in the future with any moving related needs.

The movers at Advanced Moving were terrific! They were expert movers who packed my POD in such a way as to keep furniture from moving. They ensured enough space for my belongings and carefully moved and packed everything. I would use them again if I needed another move.

The movers arrived right on time and were both respectful and professional throughout the entire process. They clearly knew what they were doing. After taking a look at everything we had, they advised us to go with a larger POD, and they were right. While their service was on the pricier side, the peace of mind and expert help made it well worth it. Highly recommend!
