The Cost of Hiring Movers in Emerald Isle, NC

On average, it costs $479.40 to hire moving helpers in Emerald Isle, NC. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Emerald Isle, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $80.49.

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 Emerald Isle, NC is $825.14, with an average hourly rate of $119.32. 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.

The team of three young men (Brian, Brett and Brad) were EXCELLENT!! They were pleasant, friendly and efficient! They completed the unloading and furniture set in less time than our loading experience at your previous home. Cape Fear Provisioners of NC LLC are the best in the business and we wholeheartedly recommend them for moving services. Regards, Dan O’Connor and Cathy Fulton

Very professional and friendly. They had a person call in sick and kept me up to date. Was very fair with adjusting the price. They were quick, friendly. Being a new transplant I was very comfortable interacting with the movers in person and the contact person via text and phone. Will definitely use again!

I was a little nervous when these young men rolled up to load this container. I completely underestimated them. They packed our storage container so efficiently and quickly, every inch was used. They lifted the heaviest items with ease and were so kind. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

They were fantastic. Very efficient and polite. They went over and above and put my bed frame together for me, arranged things as much as possible, unloaded a 16 ft, POD and swept out the POD all within the 2 hours. They were so friendly and really brought a positive spirit to the job. When looking for a mover their price was the most reasonable I could find. Very satisfied customer
