The Cost of Hiring Movers in Elwood, IL

On average, it costs $247.45 to hire moving helpers in Elwood, IL. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Elwood, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $76.22.

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 Elwood, IL is $994.58, with an average hourly rate of $131.38. 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.

They really worked hard, the load had shifted during transport. It was a mess. And it rained during the unloading. They smiled the whole time. They had our back. They were both so kind, patient, friendly and careful with our items. Despite the conditions they made the experience enjoyable. They are the best, I highly recommend them. Donna B

They were absolutely fantastic! Kept us informed regarding arrival, we’re extremely polite and incredibly efficient. They had our home loaded in under an hour. Only issue was some confusion around our order regarding number of staff and number or hours. Took a little effort but was resolved

David’s team were helpful, kind, punctual, and even completed our job early. We had a POD with a specific delivery window that they were able to accommodate. If you need movers, these are the best guys for the job. We had a small house that was difficult to maneuver and they were realistic while also making the effort to get everything in. I’m grateful for their help!

Shaq and his teammate were very attentive and very helpful. They handled our unpacking with more care than the loaders had, and some items are better contained in storage than they were during the trip to storage. We really appreciate their great work and professionalism. We will definitely recommend the services to anyone.
