The Cost of Hiring Movers in National City, CA
On average, it costs $379.20 to hire moving helpers in National City, CA. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across National City, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $89.92.
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 National City, CA is $750.09, with an average hourly rate of $127.57. 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 were on time. It was a very efficient process of unloading. Everything was arranged how I wanted. The whole process was done in the time limit. I would highly recommend them.
Andrew and his helper were two of the best movers I've ever had helping me move. I would recommend them on any project to anybody Top Notch movers thank you
They showed up on time and were prepared to do the job. They worked hard and fast and were very careful with how they handled each item. They were very friendly and professional and would use them again if I had the need.
I moved from NorCal with a rented Uhaul. San Diego family movers was contracted to unload and move me in. The service and communication were excellent. Brandon was very efficient and timely with communication and logistics. Sid and Shaq were very professional and service oriented in their role as movers. I would highly recommend this team from San Diego family movers.
Andrew and his co worker are moving magicians. I kept pointing to stuff figuring he would eventually stop me, but they got everything in, and even went above and beyond with an awkward last-second request to add an old kid’s desk. I’d hire these guys again in an instant.
Anthony and Ace were beyond exceptional! Their attention to detail and care was more than we could’ve asked for. Both very polite and welcoming, asking questions along the way. Would recommend to anyone moving!
Tony and Chris were amazing! They were early, efficient, friendly, professional and a joy to work with. Moving is stressful and they made it enjoyable! Can’t leave out Mike for being flexible and adjusting the time to accommodate us.Thank you Mach1.
Very professional and very friendly. They worked hard and got the job done in less than two hours. I highly recommend them. Would use this company again.
I had a great experience with Tony and Ace. They were very communicative and on time. They worked very efficiently and were done before the two hours. They put everything where I asked them to with zero damage. The best part of all was their great attitude! Definitely would recommend this moving company and would use again.
Anthony and Nick were great! They were on time and super efficient. They took the time to carefully pack the storage POD, and paid attention to my priority items. I highly recommend them for your moving needs!!
I was shifting boxes and sorting things in preparation for a move. I was helped by Marquis and Damien. Ken also arrived later to help. The team was great: fast and efficient, thoughtful, polite and respectful. They gave me intelligent feedback on the sorting. Very helpful in every way. I would certainly hire them again and recommend them to others.
Very hard worker they moved my two bedroom and two bath very quickly and the even sent another man for faster services. Very impressed with service. Will recommend again.??
