The Cost of Hiring Movers in Clifton, NJ

On average, it costs $379.00 to hire moving helpers in Clifton, NJ. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Clifton, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $85.11.

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 Clifton, NJ is $988.18, with an average hourly rate of $119.30. 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.

Eric and Kevin did great under the sweltering heat. The loading of my pod wasn't very straightforward but they did their best to get it done. They were very punctual as well. My only recommendation for Promove in general would be to make it part of their system to call a week or a day before to confirm again with the client the date and time. Other than that, it was a good experience

Daniel and his crew showed up when they said they would, which is a great way to start. They were extremely efficient and careful in moving our furniture out of our home and into the POD. Daniel was like a master Tetris player making sure everything fit. Highly recommend!

Our movers showed up on time, ready to work. After reviewing our load they were reassuring multiple times to my concerns about everything fitting in the pod. They were careful and respectful of our possessions. Most importantly, they did a professional job of stacking the pod. It was secure and everything fit. Highly recommend.
