The Cost of Hiring Movers in Garden Prairie, IL

On average, it costs $237.80 to hire moving helpers in Garden Prairie, IL. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Garden Prairie, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $68.19.

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 Garden Prairie, IL is $833.89, with an average hourly rate of $125.34. 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
