Labor-Only vs. The Traditional Move

When most people think of a moving company, they picture a full-service crew that loads, drives, and unloads everything. This is known as local full-service.

Labor-only moving works differently. You handle the transportation—like a rental truck or PODS container—and we connect you with professional movers to load or unload your stuff.

While labor-only requires a bit more work on your end to coordinate all the details, it’s considerably less expensive.

Prefer hands-off? If you’d rather skip the driving and prioritize convenience, you can book a vetted full-service moving company right through HireAHelper.

The Cost of Moving in Santa Ana, CA

In Santa Ana labor-only moving help typically costs between $348.15 and $826.21. 

If you’re tackling a smaller job, like unloading a PODS-style container, moving into a storage unit, or just need help with the heavy lifting, you can hire hourly moving labor for around $80.41 an hour.

The Cost of Labor-Only vs. Local-Full Service

Even after factoring in the cost of a rental truck, gas, and supplies, labor-only moving usually costs less than half of what you’d pay for local full-service. Full-service is definitely more convenient—but that convenience comes at a price.

Both workers were fantastic. They took extra care for my furniture and property. Ivan called me to let me know they arrived early. They took their time to wrap all my furniture and moved everything slowly to assure there was no damage.

They called and text twice to say they would be late on Saturday. They started at 1230 pm and finish loading at 217 pm. Once they were here they did a great job! They were very friendly and knew what they were doing. They work less than two hours so I didn't tip them. I know they were paid for three hours. Thanks, Mike Baker
