The Cost of Hiring Movers in Plainfield, IL

On average, it costs $346.17 to hire moving helpers in Plainfield, IL. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Plainfield, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $82.26.

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 Plainfield, IL is $994.58, with an average hourly rate of $131.38. 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.

Our 2 man crew was on time, were professional and worked hard loading our pod. For the items that we express concern about, they used additional blankets and stretch wrap. No damage occurred on the stairway or doorways. Would definitely use them again.

I am totally satisfied with the 2 man team of movers that provided the service of moving all our personal belongings into a 2 bedroom apartment on the top floor under grueling heat conditions and very narrow stairs. I will highly recommend their service as a job well done. Thank you for all your help.

Wonderful people! They were on time and were there to WORK! They worked hard, got it done fast, and were still careful of all items. Their website showed that they didn’t have dolly’s or wrapping materials, but they had both with them. Quintin and Jedson were amazing!! Nice and hard workers! Would definitely hire them again for my next move.

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.
