The Cost of Hiring Movers in Chesapeake, VA
On average, it costs $308.26 to hire moving helpers in Chesapeake, VA. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Chesapeake, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $85.99.
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 Chesapeake, VA is $953.15, with an average hourly rate of $139.38. 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.

Had a wonderful experience with this moving company. They did an excellent job loading the POD and made sure that nothing would shift in transit. They were very polite and respectful and asked questions throughout the process.
These guys are amazing! What took us five hours to load up took them 50 minutes to unload and put in all the proper rooms. They were fun and had a good sense of humor and made the whole process enjoyable even though it’s hot outside moving is never fun. I would use these guys in a heartbeat if I needed the help again.
They came in and did a wonderful job. They did it under the time, even though there was a lot of stuff. Very professional very intelligent great Tetris players. highly recommend.
Bust-A-Move, LLC, was absolutely fantastic. They quickly loaded all my belongings in the Pod, and they were very courteous and professional. I would highly recommend them.
Had a wonderful experience with these movers! I was worried that all my things wouldn't fit into the truck but they magically got everything loaded! They were kind, fast, and the most helpful!! Highly recommend!!
They showed up early and began working immediately. Loaded the Pack rat perfectly and made everything fit. They were very respectful of my things and didn't do any damage to my house moving things down 2 flights of stairs. I would use them again without any reservations!
The team were very professional nice clean nice to talk to and work the whole time. I would recommend them to anyone and I will definitely use them again. I was very satisfied and thank you.
We Move U LLC was great to work with. Communication was superb, and easy to coordinate with. We had a last-minute change of location, and they were able to accommodate us. Showed up timely and worked hard to get the job done. Would use them again.
Elvis and the crew were so quick, and respectful, they made sure everything went where it needed to go. They worked so hard, even with the millions of books they had to carry in! I will definitely go with them again!
I will definitely recommend this company and utilize for every move I will ever have. They were on time professional and were about their business. I hired them for a minimum of two hours but were actually done prior to the two hours. If you are on a budget, this is the way to go. Just rent a truck and hire this company.
Fastest movers I’ve ever seen. Unloaded a 15ft box truck in record time. Took very good care of all my items. Very respectful and prompt crew. Best money I ever spent. Will be using again.
I have moved several time in my life. Never have I ever meet a more diligent, dedicated, and committed group of men. Thank you very much Kevin, big country, and Darius!
