The Cost of Hiring Movers in Millbrae, CA

On average, it costs $472.27 to hire moving helpers in Millbrae, CA. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Millbrae, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $70.89.

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 Millbrae, CA is $912.08, with an average hourly rate of $131.97. 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.

Douglas and his team arrived a few minutes early and went right to work. They worked hard and did a great job of filling our rental truck. We were amazed at how efficient their packing of the truck was. They were polite and extremely careful with our belongings. We would definitely choose them in the future.

The guys were awesome! Usually with paid movers they work slow and stretch the job out. These guys worked at such a great pace and unloaded the 6 hour load job in a little over an hour. I was very impressed. If you are looking for a hard working crew that won’t slack on the job, give these guys a call! Well done.

Professional!!! Not only were they early (they called and asked if it was OK), but they were focused on the task. Courteous , kind, careful and thorough. I wish I could hire them for the other end of my move. We have moved dozens of times and the two gentlemen we had today were among the best ever. Really appreciate their speed and efficiency. 10/10 recommend

Tony and his crew were amazing. They unloaded my large shipping container and brought everything up 3 flights of narrow stairs faster than I ever would have expected. Incredibly friendly, professional, respectful of my property. Worked skillfully and put in a lot of effort. 5 stars isn't enough - I'd hire them again in a heartbeat! Thank you Tony & Crew! - John

They were very kind and responsive. Showed up and got to work. We had two Pod containers and they packed them so efficiently. Were we worried about room but they got everything in there, packed the right way and safely. I am a real estate agent and will be recommending them to my clients going forward.
