|---|---|---|
| Denver, CO | $339.17 | $1,190.92 |

| The United States | $451.87 | $1,167.76 |
Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size
As mentioned above, it costs $339.17 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Denver, CO, with an average hourly rate of $81.51. 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.
| Full-Service Moving | Labor-Only Moving | |

| Moving Truck | Included | You Provide |
| Loading Help | ✅ | ✅ |
| Unloading Help | ✅ | ✅ |

Jay and Alex were beyond amazing. They had our moving truck loaded in 2 hours. These guys were so professional and nice, I cannot say enough about them. Thank you Alex and Jay!!!
Chuck and Utah were phenomenal. Over communicated with me from start to finish, unlike some of the other companies. Showed up when they said they would and busted their tails. Great people. Great work. Highly recommend.
Xander, Patrick and Jose were our packing crew. They were amazing and respectful while packing the POD. Really recommend these guys from Genesys Moving Services.
These guys were incredibly efficient, careful with my items, and were very kind to us and our dog (we did put him up for most of the move obviously.) They were very personable. I appreciate all of their help immensely!
The crew from Genesys was on time, prepared for the job and really exceeded expectations. They took good care of our home being careful not to damage walls and floors during the move. Rafael, Jose, and Dwane went above and beyond to make sure things were securely packaged.
The Gentlemen, Paul and Robert, were professional, efficient, cordial and accommodating. No matter how humble an item, they respected it. Other movers ckuld learn a thing or two from them. Thank you
I so wish I could remember their names but two brothers came. They were exactly on time at 11 o’clock and they did not stop unloading for an hour and a half. They were courteous and nice and friendly and hard-working. I would definitely use them again. 5 Stars for sure!!!!!
They did a great job! Very attentive to which boxes were heavy, fragile, etc., and got our container packed up very tidy! They worked hard the entire time and were very efficient. I could not have fit all of my belongings without their help, and would highly recommend for anyone needing container packing help!
Fantastic to work with. On time and super careful with everything they touched. Very good about communicating and asking questions about anything unclear. Would absolutely recommend!
These guys were an well oiled machine! I can't believe how they go so much in that moving container. Polite, Excellent communication, Super efficient, Fast paced! Worth every penny! I'm so glad I hired them!
They were very efficient, really helped out with the organization of stuff as it was unloaded, would absolutely recommend. Really appreciated their help!
These guys don’t play around!! Finished fast, had all right equipment and are super friendly!! I will use them for all my moving and projects I need help with. Thank you ??
Real Advice from Denver Movers
"Be prepared for lots of sunshine but keep a jacket handy. Though generally great our weather can be unpredictable. "
- Around The Clock Movers LLC.
"Uhaul of Santa Fe in Englewood has always been our favorite facility. They have a lot of trucks, parking, and a good sized staff. It's also located right off 2 major highways; Santa Fe, and Hampden."
- WiseGuys Moving
"Colorado is expanding exponentially it seems and that means the sooner you can book, schedule, and /or reserve your necessary vehicles for the day of the move the better off you will be. If at all possible mon- Friday avoid big commutes between 3:00-3:30pm through about 7:30-8:00pm the weekends are pretty much good all day though. Weather changes are fast and drastic, if you're in warm weather wear you should have cold weather attire on hand because it can go from sun to snow in 20 minutes or less. "
- Moving ME LLC
"If your moving into downtown Denver it is a maze of one ways and streets that run at weird angles so be sure to look over your route and if at all possible don't plan on being in downtown Denver driving from about 4:00pm to 7:00pm Monday through Friday weekends are pretty much clear for whatever time long as there's no major event taking place. By taking the time to prepare you can save your self a lot of unwanted problems or expenses"
- Moving ME LLC
"If moving in or out of downtown Denver, Colorado be sure to issue your parking permits online."
- Denver Door to Door Movers LLC
"If you are moving in or out of multi-tenant spaces, make sure you ask about reserving a loading/unloading zone, as well as the freight elevator. This will expedite the move and save you money!"
- College H.U.N.K.S. (Denver)
"The earlier your move is, the better! Don't wanna waste money sitting at red lights."
- Gorilla Grip Services
"Be careful with alleys and low cable lanes. Downtown Denver also has limited parking. "

HireAHelper's Moving Guide for Denver
Tip 1: Clear Snow and Ice for a Safer Move
Moving in Denver often means dealing with snow. Before your moving team arrives, clear icy pathways to prevent delays:
- Remove any stubborn snowbanks and hazards that might slow your move, but remember that pushing snow onto a roadway or right of way is illegal in Colorado.
- Visit your new place in advance, if possible, and clear entryways and steps to avoid slippery hazards.
Tip 2: Declutter Before You Move
Moving to a new place means parting ways with clutter, so tidy up now and lighten your load for a greener, cheaper, and easier move in Denver:
- Got a dusty old TV or computer monitor you're ditching? Don't toss it. Denver residents can get a hefty discount on e-cycling through the city's coupon program.
- Donate your gently used skis and snow gear to a legitimate Denver charity. If you keep good records, you might score a tax deduction.
Tip 3: Driving a Truck at Elevation
If you’ve opted for a labor-only move, you’ll be driving on high-altitude, winding roads that can challenge even the most seasoned drivers. When moving, steep inclines and thinner air can impact vehicle performance, so preparation is key.
- Check your engine’s temperature and gauge tire pressure before setting off.
- See real-time local road and weather updates to plan your route.

Why Book Your Denver Move with HireAHelper?
Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Denver
You've got moving questions, we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in Denver.
If your carefully laid plans go sideways, contact your moving provider ASAP to request a change. Most moving companies on our platform understand that things change, but keep in mind that last-minute adjustments might affect availability and pricing, especially during June. The sooner you let them know, the better they can accommodate your new schedule
Sunday is the cheapest day to hire movers in Denver, and 3 PM - 4 PM is the best time of day to move. Moving companies experience lower demand on these days, which often results in reduced rates compared to weekends or Fridays. Consider scheduling your move during the off-peak season (fall and winter) and avoid the beginning and end of the month when demand tends to be higher. Planning ahead and booking movers in advance can also help secure better rates and the exact date you want. The cheapest month to move in Denver is January.
Just like the elevation, moving costs in Denver can vary quite a bit! It really depends on the size of your place, how much stuff you have, parking availability, and whether you opt for labor-only or full-service movers. Based on data from local, labor-only moves, $425 is a good starting point.
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.
The best times to move in Denver to avoid traffic are outside of rush hour — typically before 7am, between 9am and 4pm, or after 6pm on weekdays. Denver's rush hour can be rough, especially on the Valley Highway and I-70. An early- or late-morning move might be your best bet for a hitch-free experience.
