The Cost of Hiring Movers in Princeton, NJ
On average, it costs $404.18 to hire moving helpers in Princeton, NJ. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Princeton, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $88.68.
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 Princeton, NJ is $862.59, with an average hourly rate of $86.22. 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.

Dirk and Haneef were fantastic! They were extremely helpful with a “can do” attitude. I would 100% recommend them to anyone who is looking to make their move effortless!!
They did a FANTASTIC job!!! I will absolutely use this company again to unload my container. On time, hardworking, and did a great job. 100% recommend!
Absolutely would recommend, everyone was very professional, and packed everything efficiently and on time. Will be using them again for the next move.
I can't say enough about the four men (Hector, Anthony, Derrick and Alex) sent here to help us move. What a pleasure. So we'll mannered and respectful. I would use this service again. They are fast, hard and strong.
The Team that loaded our container was very respectful of our property. They worked extremely hard and was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!!!
Good To Go Professional Movers loaded my entire apartment into the moving van in the blink of an eye! They moved unbelievably quickly and were very respectful of my property. The van was loaded in a strategic manner intended to prevent sliding and property damage during transit. The movers were also very kind and communicative about their arrival time. Would absolutely use their services again!
Excellent job - worked very smart and moved everything in a very efficient, caring, and friendly manner - highly recommend. Enjoyed working with Charles and George!
The team was very professional and the most efficient movers that I have ever worked with. The team kept me abreast of their arrival time and worked EVERY MINUTE from the time they arrived. It was a pleasure to work with them.
The movers were great, on time and professional! My issue is with Moving Staffers!!! They estimate the fee for the moving time of job, ex: 2 guys 2 hours, if it goes over the time it's $129 per hour, BUT if it's less, like over an hour less you don't get credit, bulls*#t!!! 1 (one) Star rating
Daniel and his crew showed up when they said they would, which is a great way to start. They were extremely efficient and careful in moving our furniture out of our home and into the POD. Daniel was like a master Tetris player making sure everything fit. Highly recommend!
The moving crew was excellent and they moved fast, hard, and safe. I would say if this team showed up to your house you would be in good shape. Thank you team for getting the job done. Kevin and Judy
They kept in touch, but without being annoying. They were completely capable and competent. They worked very fast and packed the Relo cube extremely well. Hector is the best I've ever seen!
