The Cost of Hiring Movers in Kensington, MD
On average, it costs $222.64 to hire moving helpers in Kensington, MD. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Kensington, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $68.89.
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 Kensington, MD is $464.20, with an average hourly rate of $130.05. 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.

Alex and Nate were punctual, polite and offered suggestions where I hadn't seen any issues. These gentlemen are a solid asset for their company. Step by Step should be proud of the quality of workmanship that these two employees provide. I cannot praise them high enough....outstanding customer service.
Overall they were respectful and mindful of my items and handled with care. I recommend that they use better furniture dollies in the future; with padding on the bottom.
These guys were amazing! They were prompt, and worked really hard to make sure everything was wrapped well and protected. I would highly recommend them!
Our movers, Kendall and Dave, were simply outstanding. Professional, fast, careful, personable, they just could not have been any better in helping us with the complexity of moving. We would hire them again in a split second. Thank you very much for sending Kendall and Dave to help us with our move — they are the best!
These guys were extremely professional. They did a fantastic job packing the pod. They know how to make the most of little space for packing. I recommend them.
They were phenomenal and moved a full U-Haul in under an hour! Everything was handled with care and the guys were very nice. They knew their stuff and managed to get large items through tight fits without any problems. Wonderful!
They were great! They arrived in the window, and communicated beforehand so I knew exactly when they would arrive. They were personable and friendly. All of my things were moved efficiently and expertly loaded to make sure it all fit. Would definitely hire again!
Dimitri and Rassule were incredible. They moved us in up two flights of stairs on a 90 degree day with no complaints and nothing damaged. They were good natured and hard working. I highly recommend them. Thanks, guys!
They were on time and ready to get to work. They made this move easy. He came in and said "No worries, do not stress we have this." I would recommend them and will use them again.
The labor was on time, dove right into the job and were careful with the furniture. Used cushioning and straps to secure the load for transport. Everyone was very pleasant.
They arrived a little late but worked extra hard to get the stuff off my PODS super fast because they had to take it away. Very friendly and gentle with my stuff!
Tommy and Neuby (sp?) were fantastic!! They got the job done quickly and efficiently, even in pouring rain. Plus, DMV Discount Moving & Cleaning was a life saver as the original moving company (Key Movers) canceled on me 2 days before my move date. I was moving across the country from Denver, CO to Baltimore, MD. I can't thank them enough for pulling through for me in a pinch.
