The Cost of Hiring Movers in Los Angeles, CA

On average, it costs $283.66 to hire moving helpers in Los Angeles, CA. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Los Angeles, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $73.41.

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 Los Angeles, CA is $719.01, with an average hourly rate of $118.47. 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.

These guys are the best of the best. I hired them for 2 hours. They came in, saw what needed to be done, packed 2 full pods, and were done in that timeframe. It was impressive how quick they worked and how efficiently they got it done. Easily would recommend these guys to anyone.

The helpers from Thunderhorse were available for assistance and questions and helpful before, during, and after the move. Thunderhorse set expectations reasonably and honestly, and worked easily with us to make moving-day less-stressful and far less overwhelming than previous moveshabe been for us. The helpers (Turo and Josuea) were polite, professional, prepared, and even fun. Good folks.

This is the second time I’ve used We the States Moving and they’ve been fantastic both times! I ended up getting into town much earlier than I expected and they were able to unload my van early which was incredibly helpful. They’re so nice, and very respectful and careful with my stuff. Would definitely use them again.

They called and text twice to say they would be late on Saturday. They started at 1230 pm and finish loading at 217 pm. Once they were here they did a great job! They were very friendly and knew what they were doing. They work less than two hours so I didn't tip them. I know they were paid for three hours. Thanks, Mike Baker

How Hiring Moving Labor Works with HireAHelper

HireAHelper offers a smarter way to get help with your move: labor-only moving. You rent the truck or container, and we connect you with vetted, professional movers to do the heavy lifting. Labor-only moving is a smart way to save money, and it’s incredibly flexible. You stay in control of your move without doing it all yourself. Here are just a few things your movers can help with:

  • Loading or unloading your shipping container or moving truck
  • Moving heavy furniture
  • Packing help
  • Moving into or out of a storage unit

Prefer to skip the driving—or don’t have a container? No problem. Our platform also features full-service moving companies that handle all the details for you, including transportation, loading, and unloading.

Did you know? More than 1 out of 3 HireAHelper customers who select our labor-only moving service use the help to load or unload their PODS container.

Real Advice from Los Angeles Movers

We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Los Angeles. (They’re really nice!)

"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."

"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."
