Labor-Only vs. The Traditional Move

When most people think of a moving company, they picture a full-service crew that loads, drives, and unloads everything. 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 movers to load or unload your stuff.

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

Prefer hands-off? If you’d rather skip the driving and prioritize convenience, you can book a vetted full-service moving company right through HireAHelper.

The Cost of Moving in Del Mar, CA

In Del Mar labor-only moving help typically costs between $342.00 and $989.00. 

If you’re tackling a smaller job, like unloading a PODS-style container, moving into a storage unit, or just need help with the heavy lifting, you can hire hourly moving labor for around $95.38 an hour.

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.

JFK Moving Company Profile Image

They did great helping me unpack my POD. The company I used to pack up my POD hadn't used any plastic wrap on my furniture and JFK made sure to wrap my things before carefully bringing them up the stairs into my apartment. I appreciate the time and care they took. They were also very responsive prior to the job. Thank you JFK!

I was shifting boxes and sorting things in preparation for a move. I was helped by Marquis and Damien. Ken also arrived later to help. The team was great: fast and efficient, thoughtful, polite and respectful. They gave me intelligent feedback on the sorting. Very helpful in every way. I would certainly hire them again and recommend them to others.

The movers communicated well—called the day before, the day of, and 30 minutes prior to arrival. They were courteous and completed the job without any issues. My only suggestion is to provide a way to call them back—there was no caller ID or contact number in case I needed to reach them. Otherwise, great experience.
