The Cost of Hiring Movers in Manhattan, NY

On average, it costs $345.60 to hire moving helpers in Manhattan, NY. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Manhattan, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $87.26.

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 Manhattan, NY is $989.18, with an average hourly rate of $124.14. 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.

They showed up on time, were very professional and extremely careful. These guys did a great job - I had a lot of big heavy furniture items and they took the time to ensure everything went perfectly and was installed without a scratch.
