The Cost of Labor-Only vs. Local-Full Service

Even after factoring in the cost of a rental truck, gas, and supplies, labor-only moving usually costs less than half of what you’d pay for local full-service. Full-service is definitely more convenient—but that convenience comes at a price. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.

Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size

As mentioned above, it costs $391.19 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Darwin, MN, with an average hourly rate of $85.62. Your final price will depend on how long your move takes.

To get a better sense of what your move might cost, you can see the average cost for different-sized moves in the table below. Learn more about HireAHelper's methodology for calculating average costs based on proprietary data from over 1 million moves.

What Is Labor-Only?

When most people think of a moving company, they picture a full-service crew that loads, drives, and unloads everything. For in-town moves, this is known as local full-service.

Labor-only moving works differently. You handle the transportation (like a rental truck or PODS container) and we connect you with professional moving contractors to help load or unload your furniture and boxes.

While labor-only requires a bit more work on your end to coordinate all the details, it’s considerably more affordable.

These guys were life-savers for us. After two days of getting everything moved to our new house at the last minute we decided we needed help unloaded. Hire a helper came through for us on hours notice. Our helpers worked steady, fast and carefully. They were worth every penny! So grateful!

Phil's Excellence did not show up as scheduled however I did get a call to validate if someone had showed up. They were at a different job site but agreed to check with me within the hour. I got a call back and this "new" team did come to my house. They were very fast and careful workers. Eventhough it did not get off to a good start it ended well and I would recommend using them to anyone!

Robbie and Jason did a fantastic job. They moved a lot of extremely heavy furniture up and downstairs. I’m glad it was them and not me. Great value. I use them again without a doubt.

I had a last minute move, and the crew I originally hired backed out at the last minute. Mike agreed to take the job, arrived on time, and despite the move being larger than he expected (was told it would be) did not complain. He and Rick got to work, loaded a one bedroom apartment into a trailer with room to spare. Down 2 flights of stairs, and even finished ahead of time. I highly recommend!!

They were running late for the job. Requested 0900 and they didn't get there until 1030. The timing was OK, but would have been nice to have a little front end time to show them around and what they would be doing exactly. They jumped right in and started working once they got there. They were respectful of the property and the facility. I would use them again.

Ben and Josh were excellent movers! They did a fantastic job and were very careful not to scratch any of the furniture or our new house. My husband and I would recommend them to anyone needing great movers. They never hesitated to help in whatever we asked. They not only hauled a lot of heavy furniture but also helped assemble some as well. Great attitudes.

Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Darwin

You've got moving questions, we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in Darwin.

 

The short answer is that booking with HireAHelper saves you hours of work, helps you get the best price and value, and protects you and your belongings. Here are some of the key ways HireAHelper makes booking movers better:

  • Vetted Movers You Can Trust: Every mover on our platform is vetted, background-checked, and held to our high standards. And if anything goes wrong, we act as your advocate to find a resolution with your mover. If we can’t find a resolution, our $1,000 Service Guarantee will cover you and your items.
  • Book in Minutes, Not Hours: Contacting multiple local movers, comparing quotes, determining their availability, and researching their reputation can take hours of work. On the other hand, HireAHelper lets you easily compare the reputation of movers, instantly determine availability, see transparent pricing for each, and book online in just a few clicks—even same-day in many areas.
  • Dedicated Customer Support: Last minute questions are normal, and our experienced and friendly team is here 7 days a week to help with anything before, during, or after your move. 
  • Smart, Affordable Protection Options: HireAHelper offers an easy and affordable way to protect your items during a labor-only move. Our optional SmartProtection covers up to $10,000 worth of belongings, and the lowest tier ($2,500) is only $19.
  • Best Price Guarantee: All these benefits must come at a higher price, right? Wrong. HireAHelper’s platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure you’re getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? We’ll match it. That means you don’t pay extra to use HireAHelper—in fact, you may save money.

All Darwin movers listed on HireAHelper are required to provide standard repair coverage, which reimburses $0.60 per pound for damaged items. Some states may have different rules, and full-value protection is only required by the federal government for moves that cross state lines.

One of the advantages of booking with HireAHelper is that every move includes our $1,000 Service Guarantee. Plus, you can upgrade your protection by adding SmartProtection™—an optional coverage for labor-only moves that offers up to $10,000 in damage coverage, with multiple tiers to choose from.

Yes, professional movers will typically disassemble and reassemble furniture as part of the moving process. However, there are certain items that movers may not be able to disassemble. Learn more about how furniture disassembly and reassembly works when you hire movers.

One set of stairs is always included in your mover’s rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to get a quote and indicate the number of sets of stairs that you have—make sure to include stairs leading to a basement if you will have any items that need to be moved into or out of it. Read more about when movers charge extra for stairs.

You should start packing at least three to four weeks before your move, but the sooner the better. If you need to downsize or organize, we recommend starting that process 6-8 weeks before your move when at all possible.

Need to move in a hurry or don’t have time to pack? HireAHelper makes it easy to add professional packing as an add-on to your move. When available, you can get packing help for just several rooms or your whole home.
