The Cost of Hiring Movers in Northbrook, IL

On average, it costs $358.68 to hire moving helpers in Northbrook, IL. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Northbrook, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $68.47.

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 Northbrook, IL is $641.29, with an average hourly rate of $101.41. 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 booked them for 1-2 start time and they arrived about 2:10p. Once they were here, they were on it! Not alot of standing around and were careful of our things. They made sure to ask questions when needed! I’d use them again no doubt!

KJ and James were so helpful! They arrived early, stayed an extra hour to finish the job, communicated well, and everything was expertly packed. None of our furniture or boxes had budged an inch after a six-hour drive.

Shaq and his teammate were very attentive and very helpful. They handled our unpacking with more care than the loaders had, and some items are better contained in storage than they were during the trip to storage. We really appreciate their great work and professionalism. We will definitely recommend the services to anyone.

Fine young men, very strong, very fast, and quite smart about how to move things as a team. They cleared out a closet that I couldn't reach anymore (I am a disabled veteran), and made sure I had the keys for the storage until. Big thanks to your hard-working and professional team.

They were a little late because their first job of the day took longer. They finished the job in 45 minutes. They were respectful of my property, took care of home and helped with minor assembly. I would hire them again.
