The Cost of Moving in Middlesex, NJ

In Middlesex labor-only moving help typically costs between $339.56 and $739.66.

Find a lower price for the same move? We’ll 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 you’d pay for local full-service. Full-service is definitely more convenient—but 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 
Middlesex, NJ $442.68 $1,145.80 
New Jersey $450.96 $1,188.39 
The United States $451.90 $1,167.84

Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size

As mentioned above, it costs $442.68 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Middlesex, NJ, with an average hourly rate of $79.10. Your final price will depend on how long your move takes.

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, it’s considerably more affordable.

The two movers were great. They worked hard and were careful. My one concern was that Hire A Help gives a time frame for the job start. I chose the 7am to 8am time frame. the job was accepted and confirmed. On the day before the move I got a phone call tell me that they don't "open" until 9 and their office is in Queens NY. 45 minutes away. At that point I didn't want to take a chance and cancel to get another mover. They showed up at 9:45 and got right to work but I wasn't happy that I wasn't told up front about when they "open". I would still use them again because they did a good job , unless I need an early start.

Asap Moving & Junk Hauling (Building COI)
This is the second time we used ASAP. We had everything moved from our house into a storage pod while construction work was being done on the house. ASAP moved everything into the pod - we liked them and had them come back to unpack it. Both times, they got the job done within the allocated time and were very careful with the items they moved, including some very heavy furnature. We would certainly use them again.

Asap Moving & Junk Hauling (Building COI)
We had two guys move everything from our house into a storage pod so flood damage repairs can be made to the house. They managed to pack more into a pod than I thought would be possible (including several very large pieces of furnature) and were very careful not to damage anything. They definitely knew what they were doing. They didn't waste any time and finished within the tiem estimate We'll ask them to come back when it's time to move back into the house.

Real Advice from Middlesex Movers

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

Anyone that needs a PODS or a moving truck for loading/unloading it is recommended that you contact the city for NO PARKING signs for the moving dates. Usually they require 48 hours in advance. If driving a commercial vehicle please avoid Parkways around NJ and watch for any low bridges or streets where there are restrictions.

If you're moving to Jersey City, get parking permits for your moving truck from the local parking authority office. Ask if your building requires a COI and if you need to make elevator reservations. Make sure to schedule around rush hour traffic times!

Whether you're moving to or from the east coast, most places are good for driving moving trucks and PODS. There are some small streets, but you'll be fine for the most part.

The best place to get a U-Haul storage unit or to rent a truck in the Albany, NY is 2045 Central Ave. 12205. The people there are helpful, personable, and will go out of there way to make sure you have everything you need.
