The Cost of Hiring Movers in Oak Park, IL

On average, it costs $270.59 to hire moving helpers in Oak Park, IL. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Oak Park, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $74.00.

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 Oak Park, IL is $955.20, with an average hourly rate of $118.53. 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.

This company was great. I even had to change the time to later in the day within two days, and they were friendly and accommodating. On the actual moving day, Steve stayed in touch and communicated clearly, answering all of my questions and keeping me updated on their proximity and progress. Both movers were great. They were on time, prepared, and very careful with my items. I'd hire them again.

Ganga Movers were fantastic from start to finish. They arrived exactly on schedule, kept us updated every step of the way, and unloaded our belongings with impressive speed and care. Even Chicago’s unpredictable traffic was not a problem; the crew adjusted on the fly and still finished ahead of time. Highly recommended for anyone seeking efficient, reliable movers in the city.
