The Cost of Labor-Only vs. Local-Full Service

Even after factoring in the cost of a rental truck, gas, and supplies, labor-only moving usually costs less than half of what you’d pay for local full-service. Full-service is definitely more convenient—but that convenience comes at a price. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.

Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size

As mentioned above, it costs $448.36 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Oldtown, ID, with an average hourly rate of $82.16. Your final price will depend on how long your move takes.

To get a better sense of what your move might cost, you can see the average cost for different-sized moves in the table below. Learn more about HireAHelper's methodology for calculating average costs based on proprietary data from over 1 million moves.

What Is Labor-Only?

When most people think of a moving company, they picture a full-service crew that loads, drives, and unloads everything. For in-town moves, this is known as local full-service.

Labor-only moving works differently. You handle the transportation (like a rental truck or PODS container) and we connect you with professional moving contractors to help load or unload your furniture and boxes.

While labor-only requires a bit more work on your end to coordinate all the details, it’s considerably more affordable.

Kirk Brown's movers (Robert and Frank) were friendly and careful. They did a great job packing the little truck I rented and making sure everything was safe. On the downside they were a little late getting to my place, and were a little slow packing so I was late arriving at my new home. Regardless, these guys are good.

Carl and Tyson were at my apt to start the move on-time. They were well prepared and eager to get started. They were very efficient in getting the U-Haul truck loaded, and took care in organizing the truck load. I would highly recommend both Carl and Tyson for future opportunities!

Mark and his crew were absolutely fantastic. They were on-time, professional, came with the appropriate number and type of moving products, accurately assessed my needs and added manpower, treated my possessions with care, loaded and unloaded the truck efficiently, and they had a great attitude throughout the process. I would emphatically hire them again.

Couldn't have asked for better service. The two helpers arrived on time and jumped right in; were very respectful of my furniture and jumped right in moving things as requested. They were fast and hard working seldom stopping even though it was quite warm. I would definitely use them again.

Very fast, strong, polite and careful! They communicated well and got right to work. We had heavy items moved from the basement to porch, then items from upstairs to the basement. They were so courteous and hard working. Very impressive and we will hire them again! Thank you!

They packed a 20’ U-Haul truck with literally no space for one more thing! The truck was driven 2000 miles and the crew that unloaded the truck said they have never in fifteen years seen a truck packed so we’ll. There was no damage to anything. The crew arrived on time and worked efficiently and professionally until the work was completed.

Although they arrived to my home later than agreed upon (~45 minutes) the two young men from College Crew did a good job in moving furniture around in my home. They worked hard, were pleasant and polite, got the job done quickly, and made sure before they left that everything I wanted them to do was done correctly. I would use their services again.

The 3 guys hired to unpack my trailer were prompt and very well mannered. They worked good together as a team. They were also very careful in the handling of my furniture. They worked with taking minimum breaks. All three guys had pleasant attitudes. If I ever had to hire a helper again I'd ask for the same team.

Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Oldtown

You've got moving questions, we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in Oldtown.

 

The short answer is that booking with HireAHelper saves you hours of work, helps you get the best price and value, and protects you and your belongings. Here are some of the key ways HireAHelper makes booking movers better:

  • Vetted Movers You Can Trust: Every mover on our platform is vetted, background-checked, and held to our high standards. And if anything goes wrong, we act as your advocate to find a resolution with your mover. If we can’t find a resolution, our $1,000 Service Guarantee will cover you and your items.
  • Book in Minutes, Not Hours: Contacting multiple local movers, comparing quotes, determining their availability, and researching their reputation can take hours of work. On the other hand, HireAHelper lets you easily compare the reputation of movers, instantly determine availability, see transparent pricing for each, and book online in just a few clicks—even same-day in many areas.
  • Dedicated Customer Support: Last minute questions are normal, and our experienced and friendly team is here 7 days a week to help with anything before, during, or after your move. 
  • Smart, Affordable Protection Options: HireAHelper offers an easy and affordable way to protect your items during a labor-only move. Our optional SmartProtection covers up to $10,000 worth of belongings, and the lowest tier ($2,500) is only $19.
  • Best Price Guarantee: All these benefits must come at a higher price, right? Wrong. HireAHelper’s platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure you’re getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? We’ll match it. That means you don’t pay extra to use HireAHelper—in fact, you may save money.

All Oldtown movers listed on HireAHelper are required to provide standard repair coverage, which reimburses $0.60 per pound for damaged items. Some states may have different rules, and full-value protection is only required by the federal government for moves that cross state lines.

One of the advantages of booking with HireAHelper is that every move includes our $1,000 Service Guarantee. Plus, you can upgrade your protection by adding SmartProtection™—an optional coverage for labor-only moves that offers up to $10,000 in damage coverage, with multiple tiers to choose from.

Yes, professional movers will typically disassemble and reassemble furniture as part of the moving process. However, there are certain items that movers may not be able to disassemble. Learn more about how furniture disassembly and reassembly works when you hire movers.

One set of stairs is always included in your mover’s rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to get a quote and indicate the number of sets of stairs that you have—make sure to include stairs leading to a basement if you will have any items that need to be moved into or out of it. Read more about when movers charge extra for stairs.

You should start packing at least three to four weeks before your move, but the sooner the better. If you need to downsize or organize, we recommend starting that process 6-8 weeks before your move when at all possible.

Need to move in a hurry or don’t have time to pack? HireAHelper makes it easy to add professional packing as an add-on to your move. When available, you can get packing help for just several rooms or your whole home.
