The Cost of Hiring Movers in Canterbury, CT

On average, it costs $426.95 to hire moving helpers in Canterbury, CT. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Canterbury, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $78.93.

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 Canterbury, CT is $593.20, with an average hourly rate of $104.40. 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.

Wonderful service! Our movers were time efficient, friendly, caring, and so personable. They were able to listen to our requests, work fast without complaint (even though is was pouring rain!), and had a smile on their face the entire time! Moving can be such a stressful expierence, and our movers helped remove almost all our stress.

These dudes hustled their tails off and had my UPack 28ft trailer unloaded in a little over two hours, over 12K lbs worth of goods. Every single one of them was respectful to me, my family, and our items. I had planned to help some but they unloaded everything so quickly I ended up just directing traffic the whole time. Would highly recommend them to anyone needing assistance in the future.
