The Cost of Hiring Movers in Fox Lake, IL

On average, it costs $390.85 to hire moving helpers in Fox Lake, IL. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Fox Lake, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $80.27.

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 Fox Lake, IL is $946.79, with an average hourly rate of $125.62. 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.

Our 2 man crew was on time, were professional and worked hard loading our pod. For the items that we express concern about, they used additional blankets and stretch wrap. No damage occurred on the stairway or doorways. Would definitely use them again.
