The Cost of Hiring Movers in Essex, VA
On average, it costs $438.45 to hire moving helpers in Essex, VA. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Essex, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $79.63.
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 Essex, VA is $794.36, with an average hourly rate of $121.83. 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.

Wayne and Dante came out to unload our trailer. They kept us updated with the time they would arrive, were polite, careful with our belongings, and did an excellent job. Will refer them to anyone moving.
Ali’s crew of four men that moved our things from storage to our new house were outstanding. They arrived on time, were very professional, took good care of our belongings, and went out of their way to ensure we maximized our space on the truck and the time we paid for. 100% a great experience all around. I would absolutely hire this crew again and highly recommend Best Movers!
