The Cost of Hiring Movers in Pleasanton, CA

On average, it costs $409.56 to hire moving helpers in Pleasanton, CA. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Pleasanton, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $95.94.

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 Pleasanton, CA is $981.28, with an average hourly rate of $136.84. 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.

The team was friendly and did a great job. They loaded our Pods for an interstate move, and even the moving crew who unloaded our Pods at our destination commented on what a great job they did. Would use again for Pods container loading - they definitely know what they’re doing. For reference, we had 4 guys and it took 4.75 hours to fill 2 16-ft. Containers.

They movers were extremely professional and competent. They were able to pack our entire house into three U-pack cubes (we should have ordered four). They helped break down beds, cover furniture in sheets, and even brought their own moving supplies when we ran out. I would highly, highly recommend them.

Jordan and Kalil were great. They reached out ahead of time, were prompt, polite, respectful and listened. Then they jumped into action. A Piano, a large exercise machine, took beds apart and packed that pod like you wouldn't believe. Still have half open. I will be having them back for part 2. Thanks guys! Susan

Professional!!! Not only were they early (they called and asked if it was OK), but they were focused on the task. Courteous , kind, careful and thorough. I wish I could hire them for the other end of my move. We have moved dozens of times and the two gentlemen we had today were among the best ever. Really appreciate their speed and efficiency. 10/10 recommend

Noah and his team are excellent. They work rapidly. They will do as much or as little packing as you need. His team communicates well, they are careful, friendly, efficient, and well coordinated. They crushed packing 2 full PODS in a few house and it was an incredible game of Tetris. Highly recommend.

Not only were they respectful of our belongings, they were also friendly and easy to work with. Thank you both!
