The Cost of Moving Services in Arlington, TX

You can choose between two types of local moving services: labor-only and full-service. Affordable labor-only movers take care of the heavy lifting while you rent and drive the moving truck. For a higher cost and maximum convenience, hire a full-service moving company. These professionals will bring the truck, drive it to your new home, and handle the loading and unloading.

Here's how the prices compare in Arlington.

The Cost of Labor-Only Movers in Arlington

If you're confident behind the wheel of a moving truck, hourly labor is a great way to plan a budget-friendly move in Arlington. You'll handle renting, parking, and driving, and your movers will load and unload. That way, you're only paying for the labor you need.

Labor-only movers charge about $74.28 per hour, but scheduling affects costs. If you have a flexible timeline, consider moving on a Sunday or in May, when rates tend to be the least expensive.

The Cost of a Local Full-Service Move in Arlington

A full-service move provides the most convenient and comfortable moving experience. The movers will take care of the whole process—bringing a truck, loading everything onto it, driving it, and unloading it—so you can focus on settling in.

But with greater convenience comes a higher price. A full-service move averages $650.47. For more competitive moving quotes, look for availability on a Sunday or during May.

Here’s what you can expect to pay for a full-service move.

I couldn’t be more impressed with the helpers I hired to load my house. They showed up right on time, worked efficiently, and had everything packed and loaded in just two hours. Super professional, friendly, and clearly knew what they were doing. Made a stressful day so much easier—highly recommend!

Golden movers were absolutely fantastic for our moving purposes. They were able to move a two bedroom apartment into a shipping pod in less than the time that was allotted. All of the furniture and boxes that were pre-packed were secured very well. Camillo and Javier did an amazing job, I would highly recommend them for any move in DFW.

HireAHelper's Moving Guide for Arlington

Tip 1: Avoid Arlington's Most Congested Roads

Save time on moving day by planning a route that avoids Arlington's most congested roads. In particular, stay away from State Highway 360 between State Highway 183 and I-20. It's also a good idea to keep your distance from the roads near the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport during peak early-morning and late-afternoon rush hours (7-9 am and 4-6 pm).

Bonus Tip: Check the traffic map from the Texas Department of Transportation on moving day, and reroute if necessary to avoid delays.

Tip 2: Use Curbside Pickup to Get Rid of Bulky Items

Want to throw out old appliances or unused furniture before you move? The City of Arlington offers weekly curbside pickup for bulky household items. You can put out 2 cubic yards of items per week, provided they weigh no more than 50 pounds—for reference, that's about the size of a standard washer and dryer. Collection days vary by neighborhood; check the city website for specifics.

Bonus Tip: Republic Services (817-317-2000) will pick up larger items for a fee if you schedule a time in advance.

Tip 3: Don't Move During College Moving Season

When students are moving into the University of Texas at Arlington or the other local schools, the increased demand for movers can drive up prices. This typically happens during the last two weeks of August and the first week of September. To save money and get the date you want, schedule your move before or after the beginning of the fall semester.

Bonus Tip: Spring move-out can also be busy; this typically happens at the end of April.

Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Arlington

You've got moving questions — we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in Arlington.

Moving costs vary based on service provider rates and the details of your move, including the size of your home and the distance between locations. The date and time of your move can impact total costs as well as additional services, like packing or furniture assembly. HireAHelper moving companies provide accurate and transparent quotes, so you know exactly what it will cost.

Doing everything yourself is the cheapest way to move in Arlington. Because your only major expenses will be renting a truck and buying packing supplies, it does save you some money. However, we recommend booking labor-only moving services. This budget-friendly option allows you to only pay for the help you need and to make moving day easier and more efficient by letting the pros handle the heavy lifting of loading and unloading.

You can also save money by booking your move on an off-peak date. For example, May is the cheapest month to move in Arlington, according to HireAHelper bookings.

Permits aren’t required for residential moves in Arlington, but you may need to pay to park a moving truck, depending on your location. If you’re moving in a high-density area of Arlington, ask your local government about parking permits. For those in apartment complexes, talk to your management office about where to park the truck for loading and unloading.

If you want to avoid rush hour on moving day, weekday moves should be completed between 9am and 4pm, while weekend moves are best done in the early morning. Avoid major highways in Arlington, like I-30 or I-20, if you can.

Yes. Movers listed on HireAHelper are equipped to move your large, heavy, and fragile items with care. You can check each moving company’s profile for details on special skills or equipment. For unusually big items, such as a safe or grand piano, inquire about specialty moving services with your moving team before moving day.
