The Cost of Hiring Movers in Placentia, CA

On average, it costs $404.51 to hire moving helpers in Placentia, CA. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Placentia, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $82.34.

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 Placentia, CA is $663.89, with an average hourly rate of $117.78. 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 really worked magic. I had one u pack relocube container that they packed to the brim because it wasn’t in my budget to afford two. I’m a little concerned about my tv being on the bottom but they promised it would arrive undamaged. They were accommodating, hard working, and on time. If you choose speedy movers, you will be very pleased.

By far the best moving experience we've had! The crew we had was amazing. They carefully and skillfully handled all of our items. We chose this company specifically for their experience loading PODS containers and they indeed are experts. They also made great use of time and we felt like they respected us. The time estimate was also pretty spot on. Confidently recommend.
