The Cost of Hiring Movers in River Forest, IL
On average, it costs $366.87 to hire moving helpers in River Forest, IL. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across River Forest, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $72.62.
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 River Forest, IL is $821.47, with an average hourly rate of $124.99. 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.

My movers were amazing! Great communication with letting me know exactly when they would be there. They were on time and even a little earlier than expected. Came prepared with large rolling cart, they worked non stop and made sure all my fragile belongings were handled carefully. I would 100% use again, friendly, reliable service! Made the moving process as smooth as possible.
The guys were great. Got right to work and helped us bang out the unload in less then 2 hours. Went out of their way to put things where we wanted them. Professional and personable.
Very professional, polite and respectful men. They got the move done fast and easy. We will still use the same company when we move to our new home in two months.
Victor and Don did a great job! They were friendly and courteous as well as thorough and efficient. Above and beyond as Don had an injury and still worked through it! I highly recommend.
The S&L Team was amazing. Polite, considerate, and always willing to go the extra mile to make the moving experience, which is always tough, a positive experience!
These guys are amazing! They worked very fast and efficient and took great care of our stuff when bringing it in. 10/10 would recommend these guys to anyone!
Akeem, Rickey, Korben, and Jay were incredible! They turned a stressful move into a smooth, easy process. On time, efficient, reliable, and friendly—truly the best movers I’ve ever had. Highly recommend!
These nice, friendly, capable gentlemen did a great job of moving our stuff, both extremely efficiently in terms of time and packing it extremely efficiently in terms of space without compromising the safety of our items. Thanks guys!
On time, very professional and very quick. Unloaded my pod and kept all the furniture in the requested rooms with no scratches or dings or dents on the wall. Highly recommended.
They were so awesome. Very efficient and deligent. I wish I could remember all of their names to comment on each individually but everyone was extremely professional and communicative. I would use them again and recommend them to anyone who needs great movers.
Fine young men, very strong, very fast, and quite smart about how to move things as a team. They cleared out a closet that I couldn't reach anymore (I am a disabled veteran), and made sure I had the keys for the storage until. Big thanks to your hard-working and professional team.
J and Victor really came through for me. I manage a busy self storage facility in Chicago and currently we are suffering from an inoperable elevator. These gentleman arrived early, were in good spirits and put the gate wanted to help my customer out of this jam of a situation. Big shout out to those kind gentleman.
