The Cost of Hiring Movers in Downers Grove, IL

On average, it costs $316.90 to hire moving helpers in Downers Grove, IL. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Downers Grove, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $82.11.

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 Downers Grove, IL is $763.71, with an average hourly rate of $125.36. 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.

I am totally satisfied with the 2 man team of movers that provided the service of moving all our personal belongings into a 2 bedroom apartment on the top floor under grueling heat conditions and very narrow stairs. I will highly recommend their service as a job well done. Thank you for all your help.

Two young men went above and beyond working tirelessly. My only complaint is I was told by the person on the phone I would be able to add extra time if needed and although I needed more time the men were not available as they were scheduled for two more jobs today.
