The Cost of Moving Services in Baltimore, MD

Wherever your Baltimore move takes you, HireAHelper offers moving labor solutions to suit your needs and budget.

  • Transportation sorted? If you’re renting a truck or storage container and just need help loading and unloading, labor-only movers are the most budget-friendly option.
  • But if you'd rather have professionals handle everything, including transportation, full-service movers offer more convenience at a higher cost.

Here’s a look at the optional mover rates in Charm City.

The Cost of Labor-Only Movers in Baltimore

Did you know? More than 1 out of 3 HireAHelper customers who select our labor-only moving service use the help to load or unload their PODS container.

Save money by renting a moving truck and hiring hourly labor for the heavy lifting. Labor-only movers charge around $90.23 per hour — a small price to pay to avoid back-breaking work.

Moving on a budget? During weekends and summer months, you'll compete with other relocatingBaltimoreans, so avoid these peak times to save a few bucks. Take advantage of cheaper rates and book on a Tuesday or in February.

  • Peace of Mind: Trust experienced movers to handle your belongings safely from start to finish. Plus, when you book with HireAHelper, you get our $1,000 service guarantee.

How HireAHelper’s Labor-Only Option Works

Your movers can help you load up the rental truck. Moving across the country? Get help loading your PODS in Baltimore and help unloading in your new time zone.

HireAHelper's Moving Guide for Baltimore

Tip 1: Don't Forget to Apply for the Right Permits

Moving trucks take up serious space! If you live on a busy residential street or your new home lacks a driveway, chances are you'll need a permit from the city to park a 20-foot truck out front.

Right-of-way permits take more than two weeks to process, so be sure to apply early with the Department of Transportation to avoid last-minute stress.

Bonus Tip: Don't get stuck behind a street-sweeping truck. Find out the street sweeping schedule for both neighborhoods before moving day.

Tip 2: Prepare for Expected (and Unexpected) Road Closures

Orange cones and roadwork are common sights in Charm City — and even underground fires have disrupted traffic signals and forced road closures.

As road improvements continue, planning your route ahead of time can help you avoid delays. Check the DOT's website for scheduled roadwork and prepare to adjust your route if needed.

Bonus Tip: Stay flexible. Monitor traffic updates on moving day to help ensure a smoother, less stressful ride.

Tip 3: Start Off on the Right Foot With Your New HOA

Starting off on the right foot with your Community Association or HOA can make your move easier. Before move-in day, contact your Association and request a copy of the rules so you know what to expect.

  • Are there any restrictions on moving truck access?
  • Do you need parking permission from neighbors?
  • Where can you place a storage container?
  • Are there designated quiet hours to follow?
Bonus Tip: Start off on the right foot with your new neighbors by letting them know your plans for moving day — they might even offer a helping hand.

Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Baltimore

The average cost of a local labor-only move in Baltimore is $503. However, the cost of your move depends on several factors: the type of moving services you choose, the size of your home, the number of stairs involved, the amount of extra-heavy items, etc. Use HireAHelper to compare the costs of moving providers to ensure you get the best rate, or use our moving cost calculator for an accurate estimate.

It’s up to you, but industry standards vary between 5% to 20%. If the movers did a great job and you want to recognize that, tip toward the upward range.

Your landlord or management company may require an elevator reservation if you’re moving, so check in with them to see what their policies are before moving day arrives. Try to reserve a few weeks in advance. And be sure to let your moving company know about the elevator to, so they can prepare.

Most movers include one flight of stairs in their pricing. Movers may possibly charge more for multiple flights of stairs, depending on the way your home is set up. Be upfront about how many flights of stairs are in your home so that you can get the most accurate quote.

All full-service moving companies are required to be licensed and insured, while labor-only movers may vary in their credentials. Each HireAHelper company has its insurance and licensing information listed on its profile. Check the company listings carefully to ensure your chosen provider has the insurance and licensing you want.
