The Cost of Hiring Movers in Dover, DE

On average, it costs $386.98 to hire moving helpers in Dover, DE. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Dover, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $74.49.

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 Dover, DE is $1,357.00, with an average hourly rate of $109.60. 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.

Adam and Alicia from Speedy Lifters are both amazing! They were on time, communicated well and are very professional. Such hard workers, they got our move done in half the time it would’ve taken us (or maybe even faster!). They were very respectful of our things and our new home. We will definitely use them again, and highly recommend.

Great work once both guys showed up and we finished a 2 hour job in 35 minutes, but the guys were misscheduled (which i don't fault them for) so one guy showed up on time and the other guy showed up an hour later. Would recommend and use again, but just make sure your timing is a little flexible.
