The Cost of Hiring Movers in Defiance, MO

On average, it costs $352.01 to hire moving helpers in Defiance, MO. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Defiance, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $80.52.

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 Defiance, MO is $978.02, with an average hourly rate of $143.37. 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.

Very professional and friendly. Can’t ask for a better service. They are very careful on stairs, turns etc so none of the furniture hit any walls around. Very knowledgable on how to fill containers to the maximum efficiency.

They did an AMAZING job! We were very worried all of our items wouldn’t fit in the POD, and they went above and beyond to make sure they did! Great attitudes and hard workers! 10/10 recommend.

A broken elevator meant that the movers had to move many items including several large furniture items up 2 flights of stairs. The guys still got it done in less than 2 hours. Highly recommend!

Guys are amazing. They emptied my entire house in two hours and packed the truck like they were playing Tetris. It allowed me to fit everything into a truck that I was certain was too small. I highly recommend them.
