The Cost of Hiring Movers in Lakeland, FL
On average, it costs $346.99 to hire moving helpers in Lakeland, FL. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Lakeland, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $78.64.
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 Lakeland, FL is $1,009.41, with an average hourly rate of $115.36. 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.

This moving company was so easy to deal with - and Andrew & Jason were amazing!!! They were on time, professional, pleasant & so efficient. Wonderful experience - would highly recommend them!
Well prepared, they has a lot of tools to make sure my belongings get moved safe, where I wanted and how I wanted, they were really smart and quick on moving the items in the house
The guys were awesome! It was so hot and they unloaded my POD without a complaint. There were lots of odd sizes and shapes with really heavy garage stuff and they muscled through it all!!
Dominic and Joshua did a fantastic job. I would highly recommend them both for moving. Thank you guys very very much for the hard work you did. We really appreciate it.
They were right on time and called me to let me know they were on their way. They both worked very hard and were extremely kind and respectful! I would certainly hope this company again!
Team did a great job packing. They loaded more than I thought possible because of their orderly, logical loading. Polite, professional and easy to work with. We’ll done.
Except for the earlier than expected arrival, everything went smoothly. The two men were pleasant, professional and strong. I would not hesitate to contact them again for another job.
Eyes with the speed of the unload and the friendliness and personalities of the movers if I ever start a moving business, I’m going to poach these guys from you
They did an amazing job. I would absolutely use this crew again. They were the best I could have asked for. So professional Thank You Dale and Geani Warren
Great communication prior to arrival! They were flexible on scheduling due to some last-minute changes that surfaced with container delivery. Team was very efficient when loading the container and packed it with precision. Highly recommend!!!
Karl and Ulysses were amazing. I was not sure all my items would fit into the POD but Karl kept assuring me he could make it happen. He is a master at loading and packing and everything fit beautifully. They both were so kind and considerate to me and of my items. I highly recommend them if you need moving services.
Moody and BJ were great! Communication via call and text was a breeze and they arrived on time and were very professional and well mannered. Will use again in the future!
