Labor-Only vs. The Traditional Move

When most people think of a moving company, they picture a full-service crew that loads, drives, and unloads everything. For in-town moves, this is known as local full-service.

Labor-only moving works differently. You handle the transportation—like a rental truck or PODS container—and we connect you with professional movers to load or unload your stuff.

While labor-only requires a bit more work on your end to coordinate all the details, it’s considerably more affordable.

Prefer hands-off? If you’d rather skip the driving and prioritize convenience, you can book a vetted full-service moving company right through HireAHelper.

The Cost of Moving in Imperial Beach, CA

In Imperial Beach labor-only moving help typically costs between $342.00 and $989.00. 

If you’re tackling a smaller job, like unloading a PODS-style container, moving into a storage unit, or just need help with the heavy lifting, you can hire hourly moving labor for around $91.77 an hour.

The Cost of Labor-Only vs. Local-Full Service

Even after factoring in the cost of a rental truck, gas, and supplies, labor-only moving usually costs less than half of what you’d pay for local full-service. Full-service is definitely more convenient—but that convenience comes at a price.

The movers communicated well—called the day before, the day of, and 30 minutes prior to arrival. They were courteous and completed the job without any issues. My only suggestion is to provide a way to call them back—there was no caller ID or contact number in case I needed to reach them. Otherwise, great experience.

The team arrived on time and took care of unloading 17ft of cargo into my house, and did so politely and in a shorter amount of time than initially estimated. They even helped carry an extremely heavy king size mattress upstairs to my second floor, which I greatly appreciated. I highly recommend this team and their services.
