The Cost of Hiring Movers in Forest Park, IL

On average, it costs $363.11 to hire moving helpers in Forest Park, IL. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Forest Park, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $74.81.

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 Forest Park, IL is $821.47, with an average hourly rate of $124.99. 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.

Both movers were great! So friendly and nice to my dogs while we waited for my pod to arrive. Once the pod arrived they were very quick and efficient and made sure to put everything in the correct place to make unpacking easier. I highly recommend!

The two people who came to help me move were extremely professional, efficient and hardworking. All my items were moved without a scratch, and that too for a fraction of the cost in the market! Would 10/10 use them again.

Chris and Victor did a fantastic job again! I hope we can get such an efficient crew to help us unload in Michigan. They again looked at what had to be moved and sized it all up. How they get so much in the Pod is amazing. Everything was well protected. 10/10!
