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.

Excellent team! Willing to arrive earlier! Professional, helpful and willing to go beyond to ensure a stress free experience! This is the real team couldn’t be any happier with our move. Aby and Joseph thank YOU both you’re the best ????and thanks to Chris for outstanding customer service!
the 2 gentlemen were extremely fast and efficient. they did an excellent job of packing my things into the containers. I would highly recommend them.
They were early, very early. Nonetheless, we all made it work to our advantage. Emil and his team did an excellent job. They were very well prepared and worked hard and efficiently. They were courteous and displayed respect for our property. The team wasted no time and moved smoothly from one item to the next. I would recommend Sharp.
The guys from Cimply Labor were wonderful. They wrapped EVERYTHING in plastic and disassembled furniture so that more stuff could fit into the POD. They were friendly, worked diligently and seemed to enjoy their work.
I wasn’t sure whether they can fit all the stuff from 10x10 storage to 10x15 PODS. They were sufficient and prompt. Got it done with plenty of space. They were excellent
On-Time movers were on time, polite and professional- they also accommodated a last-minute request to change the move-in time window which really helped me out. They were very quick and did a great job. I would definitely recommend.
On time, great movers, a human being on the other side of the phone, absolutely no hassles and fair price. Exactly what you’re looking for in a mover. Will use again every single time!
Nayquhon and his crew were amazing. They were prompt, worked efficiently and packed our moving trailer perfectly saving us more space then we reserved. Would highly recommend Always reliable for anyone moving in the area!
These men are the best movers we have ever worked with (and we’ve done 10 moves in the last 10 years). They showed up a tad late because another move they were at went long, but their work was so efficient and well done that I would use them again and again. Also just nice guys who I enjoyed meeting. Very hard working and with no complaints. Highly recommend them!
Winston and Will were on time, worked hard and consistently for the full two-hour period. They got the job done in the time allotted. I would use this company and crew again.
Eric and Ronin were fantastic! They arrived early (which was great!) and worked very hard; moving more furniture and boxes than I anticipated having. They communicated with me very clearly, and they finished in a very reasonable time frame.
The crew that you sent was the best crew I ever had. Third time using hire helper, Dwight and his crew fantastic. very careful with my antique furniture if they had questions they would ask. they took their time and we’re very careful about moving each piece.
