The Cost of Hiring Movers in Cambridge, MA

On average, it costs $426.74 to hire moving helpers in Cambridge, MA. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Cambridge, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $91.47.

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 Cambridge, MA is $840.49, with an average hourly rate of $142.27. 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.

Heavy Foot Movers Profile Image

Joe and Stephen arrived as scheduled and unpacked my container very efficiently. They had to handle things delicately, too, as the movers I hired at the loading stage didn’t do a great job of packing so things shifted a lot during its travel across country. But they made sure no additional damage was done. They were extremely personable and I’d hire them again.

Peter, Christian and Jariel were amazing, arrived early and got everything done super quick. They were an amazing help and super nice guys, very easy to work with, and helped us wrap up our furniture! They were careful about our cat even though she constantly escaped and got in the way. Overall, highly recommend them, couldn’t have gone better.
