HireAHelperâs Best Price Guarantee Find a lower price for the same move? Weâll match it. You can book with the confidence that you are getting the best value for your move. Learn more. |
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 youâd pay for local full-service. Full-service is definitely more convenientâbut that convenience comes at a price. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.
| Labor-Only | Local-Full Service | |
|---|---|---|
| Los Angeles, CA | $386.97 | $1,020.08 |
| California | $458.12 | $1,152.13 |
| The United States | $451.87 | $1,167.76 |
Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size
As mentioned above, it costs $386.97 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Los Angeles, CA, with an average hourly rate of $79.09. 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.
| Home Size | Average Cost | Average # of Movers | Average # of Hours |
| 1 Bedroom Apartment | $281.91 | 2 movers | 2.1 hours |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | $339.16 | 2 movers | 2.3 hours |
| 3 Bedroom Apartment | $395.82 | 2 movers | 2.7 hours |
| 2 Bedroom House | $416.18 | 2 movers | 2.8 hours |
| 3 Bedroom House | $460.94 | 2 movers | 3 hours |
| 4 Bedroom House | $553.00 | 3 movers | 3.6 hours |
| 5 Bedroom House | $653.60 | 3 movers | 4.3 hours |
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, itâs considerably more affordable.
| Full-Service Moving | Labor-Only Moving | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $$$ | $ |
| Moving Truck | Included | You Provide |
| Loading Help | â | â |
| Unloading Help | â | â |
| Packing | Add-on | Add-on |

Amazing job! They were working together really well and came prepared with equipment. Loading and unloading was extremely fast. They were respectful of the property and my goods. Definitely would use them again.
Jon and Brian were genuinely ANGELS and helped me load my upakweship crates for my international move. I COULD NOT POSSIBLY have done this without them. They’re incredible and deserve EVERYTHING. SERIOUSLY. if you’re on the fence about hiring this company- DO IT.
These guys were fantastic. They worked fast, didn’t complain and made stuff happen when it didn’t seem possible. I would and will use these guys for my next move. Thank you for all the hard work to get us into our new home. Wosbely and Eddy were the guys on the team with the supervisor Daniel. Use this team if you want a smooth and careful move. Thanks again
2 crew was on Time. Came with their own equipment even though I included my own equipment before service, so that was very appreciated. Once I showed them what needed to be loaded, they loaded everything with care and quickness. They respected my property and acted very professional. I would definitely hire those guys again if I needed movers. Excellent job, Thanks Guys!
The gentlemen from Excellent Movers definitely impressed everyone at the house who were helping me with the move. They were very fast, efficient and handled my items with care. I'm very glad I hired them and highly recommend them for anyone looking for helpers who are ambitious and respectful.
Urban Moving arrived early and worked diligently the whole time. They were respectful of the items they were moving, they were prepared for the job, they worked hard. I would definately use Urban Moving again.
Our movers were on time and very respectful of our furnishings. They packed the storage pod well. The movers were professional, were on time, and ready to work. The office manager / business owner was very organized and thorough in the lead up to the job. I recommend Rigo’s and their team without reservation. Thank you all!
Conrad and his helper worked incredibly hard and stayed past the time booked to get the job done. On past moves I paid more than double for five helpers at a big-name full-service company and was disappointed in that service. This team worked harder and took better care of my items than the big company. Would strongly recommend them!!
Ivan and team showed up a few minutes early, with all the necessary equipment. They were very pleasant, hard working and mindful of our things and the house. I highly recommend them as the best movers I have had.
My two movers, Juan and Antonio, were excellent workers. They arrived on time, started packing boxes right away and handled everything carefully. And they stacked them meticulously to my satisfaction at the end destination. The guys were friendly, funny, extremely hard-working and I would request both of them again for my next move.
Your guys were GREAT! I would recommend that to anyone. I will not and would not recommend PODS. This was the worse move EVER. Also the company that the guys came through was impossible to get in touch with. The guys loading and unloading the POD were the best part of the move.
Daniel and his crew were great! On time. Polite and hard workers. And neat. They finished on time too!! Just as promised. I will hire them anytime I need an extra set of hands. Thank you guys!
Real Advice from Los Angeles Movers
"Please make sure to contact your pick-up and drop-off administrations for guidance on any parking permits necessary during the move or POD placement, since the movers are not responsible for parking permits. Other than that, the general rule of thumb is to make sure the truck or a POD have enough parking space with a close access to the pick-up or drop-off facility."
- V&V Moving
"If you live in a highly-populated area like downtown Los Angeles or Hollywood, it's always best to secure parking a day before your move to avoid long carry. Not only do some movers charge for long carry, but it will lengthen the time of your move and will consequently cost more than it should have."
- Darper Moving
""Storage Etc." at 8111 Deering Ave., Canoga Park, CA 91304 has the best rates in the area."

- 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. HireAHelperâs platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure youâre getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? Weâll match it. That means you donât pay extra to use HireAHelperâin fact, you may save money.
All Los Angeles 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 SmartProtectionâ˘âan 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 moverâs 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 haveâmake 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.
