The Cost of Hiring Movers in Skokie, IL

On average, it costs $317.45 to hire moving helpers in Skokie, IL. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Skokie, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $81.13.

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 Skokie, 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.

Shaq and his teammate were very attentive and very helpful. They handled our unpacking with more care than the loaders had, and some items are better contained in storage than they were during the trip to storage. We really appreciate their great work and professionalism. We will definitely recommend the services to anyone.

They were on time. They packed the POD incredibly. I wouldn't have been able to fit everything like they did. Their work was hard, but these 2 guys worked smart. There was no wasted effort. They accommodated every late request that I had made.
