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.
| Full-Service Moving | Labor-Only Moving | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $$$ | $ |
| Moving Truck | Included | You Provide |
| Loading Help | ✅ | ✅ |
| Unloading Help | ✅ | ✅ |
| Packing | Add-on | Add-on |
The Cost of Moving in Santa Monica, CA
In Santa Monica labor-only moving help typically costs between $346.44 and $541.99.
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 $81.20 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.
Labor-Only | Local-Full Service | |
|---|---|---|
Santa Monica, CA | $284.65 | $615.65 |
California | $370.37 | $796.70 |
The United States | $356.65 | $821.07 |

Our Citywide Moving crew was outstanding. They were very punctual and took extra care of our belongings when moving them from the PODS container to our third-floor apartment. They made our experience moving into our new apartment in Santa Clarita stress-free. Staff were: - Polite - Courteous - Punctual - Friendly I recommend them to anyone who needs expert, top-notch movers.
Aron and Antonio were wonderful! They were fast and skilled, but also very kind and friendly. My entire experience with this company has been excellent. Highly recommend!
They were early, after calling us to make sure it was okay! They worked carefully and efficiently too. Ivan and Carlos were great and gave us a helping hand on a couple of things….we didn’t have 2 hours-worth of moving and they stayed to help until their time was up. Many, many thanks!!!
Had a quick and easy morning moving into my new apartment! Antonio and Davis were professional, on time, communicative, and efficient — and they were especially respectful of pieces that I was nervous to move. Definitely recommend these guys.
Citywide Moving is HIGHLY recommended by us! They did a great and quick job unloading for us. Both were the most professional we have encountered during our whole move! We are already recommending them to family that will be moving this summer.
The two men that loaded our PODS were fantastic. They were on time and worked loading our 3 bedroom and fridge,washer dryer and lots of boxes in to a 16 ft.storage in less then 2 hours. They worked steady using all space available. I would highly recommend then.
The movers were great and extremely helpful. They went above and beyond to ensure all my stuff was loaded properly. They even had tools when I couldn’t find mine. Highly recommend!
The movers were efficient, quick, and professional. They packed a studio apartment into a rented cargo van really well, the contents did not shift around at all during a 5+ hour drive, and were in great condition on arrival. Would hire them again without hesitation.
They arrived on time and worked quickly. Took great care Of our items and loaded the pod efficiently!! We are so happy w their service. Would highly recommend them
Excellent job unloading a uhaul for us. They were 45 minutes late (service did call us to notify) so we enednup doing alont of the work on our own because we were on a time crunch. Otherthan being late-they were excellent . & yes would hire again.
Joe and Franco were great! They fit everything in my one bedroom space into the pod. They were very communicative, efficient and friendly. I would highly recommend!!
We reached out at the last minute and the guys did a great job. Saved us so much time and they were extremely professional. 10/10 would recommend - thank you for all the help!
