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.

Brittany and Elijah exceeded my expectations. They arrived right on time. They were prepared! They worked quickly and efficiently. They took great care of our property. I would definitely recommend them for all your moving needs. Thank you both for being so kind. Blessings
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!
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
They were amazing! They brought their own equipment, wraps, & made sure everything was secure, safe & loaded with no damage. They were able to get everything to fit & save me from having to get an extra trailer.
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
They were fast, friendly, helpful. I had 3 guys for 2 hours and they were able to unload my 16ft pod and put furniture and other things together quickly. I will recommend them to other people. Thanks guys!!
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!!
The guys were great. They communicated really well that they were running late. Once they arrived they were super fast and professional. They put everything exactly where I wanted it and did not mess around.
These guys were amazing!!! There is no way we would have been able to move our furniture up to the third floor without them. They were very friendly and packed our truck as true professionals.
Billy and Tom were very efficient and organized with our load and unload. They were very careful with our fragile items as well. We would recommend their services.
Dave & Mike arrived on time, introduced themselves & got to work. They did everything as I directed, we’re very careful with my furniture & a joy to have helping me. Courteous & polite young men. I would highly recommend them !
