The Cost of Hiring Movers in Arlington, MA

On average, it costs $470.58 to hire moving helpers in Arlington, MA. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Arlington, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $100.30.

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 Arlington, MA is $837.06, with an average hourly rate of $136.73. 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.

I hired two guys for two hours to more stuff between two houses next door to each other. I had a list that should have taken 2 days to finish. Greg and Alan arrived right on time and got to work. Two hours later the list was completed. Loyal Movers is a professional and hard working company. I will ask for them the next time. Thanks again.

Real Advice from Arlington Movers

We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Arlington. (They’re really nice!)

"The best advice for moving in the New England area is to measure both the furniture and the paths/locations where items will be going. Many of the old houses in the region have tight areas that make moving difficult, or impossible. It is best to know if an item will fit beforehand to minimize wasted time. "
