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. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.

 Labor-OnlyLocal-Full Service
La Fontaine, IN$451.31$1,268.90
Indiana$451.31$1,268.90
The United States$451.87$1,167.76
Did you know? More than 1 out of 3 HireAHelper customers use their move helpers to load or unload their PODS container.

Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size

As mentioned above, it costs $451.31 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in La Fontaine, IN, with an average hourly rate of $88.66. Your final price will depend on how long your move takes.

To get a better sense of what your move might cost, you can see the average cost for different-sized moves in the table below. Learn more about HireAHelper's methodology for calculating average costs based on proprietary data from over 1 million moves.

What Is Labor-Only?

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 moving contractors to help load or unload your furniture and boxes.

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

Once you've used the calculator to do your research, you can compare quotes from movers that are available and ready to help near you.

We were very pleased with Robert and Tee. They came in and surveyed the items and got right to work. They were respectful of our property, both the house and the items to be moved. We had more to move than we thought so they stayed longer than planned, but they worked hard and got it done. We were very well pleased and would hire them again. Great job.

I think I will just say they were fantastic with their job, very caring and supportive to us and gentle with our belongings. Please keep up your good work and a big thank you to all of them.

2 young men showed up and moved as expected. Wonderful job. They were gracious that ALL items were packed and ready to load, as well as having a moving truck ready. Ofttimes it seems that customers just expect to have things packed/loaded by the movers. I have a little bit of history and understanding that this is NOT what a customer should do. ... Have your stuff ready to go!

They did a great job. They were very courteous and seemed to be careful unloading everything. I had a couple items that were damaged, but this appeared to be from the first moving company that loaded the truck in another state. I would definitely recommend Above The Best Movers & Cleaners.

Now...I thought their packing job was great, but the unpacking was stpendous! They put everything where I wanted. They even put the cushions back on the sofa. I wish I had used them a year ago for my unload when I moved from Seattle. I highly recommend The PackMan Crew!

I would absolutely use Brandon and Cameron again. They were on time, even beat me. ????? Once I showed them what needed to be done, they immediately went to work.

First I was sick with nerves most of the time they were there. (In bathroom) They would have done a much better job if I could have supervised. So I can't really say anything bad about them because of the conditions. Just happy they showed up!

Frequently Asked Moving Questions in La Fontaine

You've got moving questions, we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in La Fontaine.

 

The short answer is that booking with HireAHelper saves you hours of work, helps you get the best price and value, and protects you and your belongings. Here are some of the key ways HireAHelper makes booking movers better:

  • Vetted Movers You Can Trust: Every mover on our platform is vetted, background-checked, and held to our high standards. And if anything goes wrong, we act as your advocate to find a resolution with your mover. If we can’t find a resolution, our $1,000 Service Guarantee will cover you and your items.
  • Book in Minutes, Not Hours: Contacting multiple local movers, comparing quotes, determining their availability, and researching their reputation can take hours of work. On the other hand, HireAHelper lets you easily compare the reputation of movers, instantly determine availability, see transparent pricing for each, and book online in just a few clicks—even same-day in many areas.
  • Dedicated Customer Support: Last minute questions are normal, and our experienced and friendly team is here 7 days a week to help with anything before, during, or after your move. 
  • Smart, Affordable Protection Options: HireAHelper offers an easy and affordable way to protect your items during a labor-only move. Our optional SmartProtection covers up to $10,000 worth of belongings, and the lowest tier ($2,500) is only $19.
  • Best Price Guarantee: All these benefits must come at a higher price, right? Wrong. HireAHelper’s platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure you’re getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? We’ll match it. That means you don’t pay extra to use HireAHelper—in fact, you may save money.

All La Fontaine movers listed on HireAHelper are required to provide standard repair coverage, which reimburses $0.60 per pound for damaged items. Some states may have different rules, and full-value protection is only required by the federal government for moves that cross state lines.

One of the advantages of booking with HireAHelper is that every move includes our $1,000 Service Guarantee. Plus, you can upgrade your protection by adding SmartProtection™—an optional coverage for labor-only moves that offers up to $10,000 in damage coverage, with multiple tiers to choose from.

Yes, professional movers will typically disassemble and reassemble furniture as part of the moving process. However, there are certain items that movers may not be able to disassemble. Learn more about how furniture disassembly and reassembly works when you hire movers.

One set of stairs is always included in your mover’s rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to get a quote and indicate the number of sets of stairs that you have—make sure to include stairs leading to a basement if you will have any items that need to be moved into or out of it. Read more about when movers charge extra for stairs.

You should start packing at least three to four weeks before your move, but the sooner the better. If you need to downsize or organize, we recommend starting that process 6-8 weeks before your move when at all possible.

Need to move in a hurry or don’t have time to pack? HireAHelper makes it easy to add professional packing as an add-on to your move. When available, you can get packing help for just several rooms or your whole home.
