The Cost of Hiring Movers in Norfolk, VA

On average, it costs $318.15 to hire moving helpers in Norfolk, VA. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Norfolk, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $79.01.

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 Norfolk, VA is $1,064.19, with an average hourly rate of $144.07. 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.

I will definitely recommend this company and utilize for every move I will ever have. They were on time professional and were about their business. I hired them for a minimum of two hours but were actually done prior to the two hours. If you are on a budget, this is the way to go. Just rent a truck and hire this company.

We had a quick job for them to unload what was left of our furniture in a 16’ PODS. They worked quickly and carefully. We’d probably hire them again to unload our other PODS with our boxes.
