They moved everything super fast, but took great care with my furniture. I will absolutely use this company again in the future. They made a really last minute stressful move so much easier! Thank you guys so much!!" ????? Gretchen L. Local Moving "These guys were amazing! We had a lot of furniture to move- in hindsight, I should have gone with three movers instead of two. But these two were great! They kept their focus on the task, spent their time wisely, working out the issues with moving large heavy furniture with careful planning, with respect and care for my items. When the job went over hours, they never wavered and made sure the job was done completely to our satisfaction. I hope o never have to move again, but if I do, I’m going with Budget Hauling!!" ????? Alaa H. Local Moving "These guys were great! I can’t even begin... I was super stressed out for moving day ( wouldn’t any one with a toddler be?) I was literally dreading it..they showed up on time and moved quick.. I’ll admit I’m a bit of a hoarder so I had A LOT of stuff but they got it all out within the same time frame given! I will 100% recommend this company to everyone!" ????? Brandee L. Local Moving "I have used a few different moving companies and Budget Hauling was by far the best!! They not only do moving jobs but will haul of junk too! As long as I am in Sacramento I will always use them for all my needs!!! Thabk you for making my move so much better and easier!!.......Brandee L" ????? Sarah B. Furniture Moving & Heavy Lifting "David and Gage arrived a little before our appointment and they moved and assembled a very heavy elliptical machine upstairs. They did safely and without damaging walls or doorways (stairwell and stairs are narrow). They completed the task quickly and were very polite and helpful. I will definitely hire them again if I need the services they offer." ????? Debralee L. Junk Removal "Dave and Jeremy were both very friendly and professional. They arrived when promised and removed my 2 refrigerators and 1 washer very quickly. They were very reasonably priced and I will definitely use them again. ????? Kevin D. Local Moving "We scheduled Budget Hauling for 5 hours initially and ended up using them for 10. They did a phenomenal job, took care of all our furniture, wrapped everything before moving it and set everything up. They were careful to be sure they went the right way into the house for each piece of furniture. They were on time and very friendly. We definitely recommend using them!" ????? Stacey S. Local Moving "Wow. Best movers ever. Reached out via Thumbtack to several movers. Budget Hauling quickly responded with a great, fair bid. They were flexible with the time and we did the full transaction via text. They called ahead of arrival and came exactly at the time they promised. The job took less time than estimated and I got a call from the boss telling me they would send a new, reduced invoice. They unpacked with care, set everything up on the receiving end and were done before you knew it! I tipped both of the movers and gladly paid the invoice. Would definitely recommend this great mover!" ????? Dianna R. Local Moving "Movers were awesome, responsive, professional and ideal to work with. They made a hard move look easy! So very pleased with them, I can't wait to use them again. :)" ????? Coleen L. Furniture Moving & Heavy Lifting "I requested a moving project from Budget Hauling this week David Weider and son arrived at the time that we set for their arrival. They are great. They assessed the project and proceeded to move the items exactly as wished. Very efficient and professional. I will recommend them and I am sure use their services again."

HireAHelper’s Best Price Guarantee
Find a lower price for the same move? We’ll match it. You can book with the confidence that you are getting the best value for your move. Learn more.
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. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.
| Labor-Only | Local-Full Service | |
|---|---|---|
| South Lake Tahoe, CA | $458.02 | $1,151.83 |
| California | $458.02 | $1,151.83 |
| The United States | $451.90 | $1,167.84 |

Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size
As mentioned above, it costs $458.02 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in South Lake Tahoe, CA, with an average hourly rate of $89.93. Your final price will depend on how long your move takes.
To get a better sense of what your move might cost, you can see the average cost for different-sized moves in the table below. Learn more about HireAHelper's methodology for calculating average costs based on proprietary data from over 1 million moves.
| Home Size | Average Cost | Average # of Movers | Average # of Hours |
|---|---|---|---|

| 5 Bedroom House | $747.66 | 4 movers | 4 hours |
Did you know? More than 1 out of 3 HireAHelper customers use their move helpers to load or unload their PODS container.
What Is Labor-Only?
When most people think of a moving company, they picture a full-service crew that loads, drives, and unloads everything. For in-town moves, 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 moving contractors to help load or unload your furniture and boxes.
While labor-only requires a bit more work on your end to coordinate all the details, it’s considerably more affordable.
| Full-Service Moving | Labor-Only Moving | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $$$ | $ |
| Moving Truck | Included | You Provide |
| Loading Help | ✅ | ✅ |
| Unloading Help | ✅ | ✅ |
| Packing | Add-on | Add-on |
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.

I hired Reno Tahoe Movers through Hire a helper, they were great!!
(Side note: BOOK DIRECT WITH THEM! YOU’LL GET A BETTER RATE! I booked with hire a helper because they contacted me through my home warranty, apparently I paid more than I would have, not realizing they were a 3rd party, and I paid extra fees)
Josh and Sandro were my two movers for the day, they were kind, professional and all business! They showed up on time between 8-9am, and got the move done quickly and efficiently with no issues! Nothing broken, they stayed within the time frame so the payment was as expected. At the end Josh asked me to look around and see if there’s anything I wanted moved to a different spot before they left. I much appreciated their work ethic and professionalism, I would hire Reno Tahoe Movers again if I was in the area or recommend them to anyone in that area!

The crew was in a hurry to leave as soon as they arrived , they were there for 3 hours , not 4!!
It was a husband and wife team. The wife was not able to do any heavy lifting so my husband did most of it with the husband
The pricing was not adjusted for the time , they gave me all kinds of reasons why it stayed the same. , mileage , stairs and other items.
Would not use their service again nor hire a helper. Just too costly for what we received !!!’

Seemed like they started a bit slow. Didn’t seem to want to follow my direction in the beginning but in the end, we were all working well together. I understand the workers have loaded many trucks but so have I and I think everyone has their own idea of how things should be done.
Bottom line, the job got completed right at the two hour mark. There were many stairs which added to the challenge. I would use them again and was thankful they were on the job.

Real Advice from South Lake Tahoe Movers
We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in South Lake Tahoe. (They’re really nice!)
If you are moving in or out of the area and are driving a rental truck in snow or sleet be sure to take the main road and stay off of the freeway if necessary. People tend to be safer and are in less of a rush if you take the main roads than taking the freeway. You also run the risk of hydroplaning or losing control as a result of being at higher speeds. Another tip before leaving the dealership with your truck is to be sure to inspect it or have them inspect it to be sure it is safe.
If you are in need of a rental truck and are moving locally within or out of the south Reno location, we recommend using 10400 S. Virginia St. U-Haul. This location has the most trucks in this area readily available at any time. This location also has the most moving supplies available in the area.
If you are moving out of Gardnerville, NV and are looking to rent a moving truck, we recommend Pacific Gas at 1479 US Highway 395. They not only have the most trucks that are readily available, but Jimmy and his mother are the sweetest people to deal with and they will go out of their way to take care of their clients.
If you are in the Carson City area, we recommend U-Haul at the E. Williams location on Highway 50 because they have more trucks readily available than any other location.
For long distance moves, Penske has the best rates and tall decks. Also, U-Boxes are great for small shipments.
The U-Haul on Pyrites Way in Rancho Cordova is the best!
U-Haul on Hammer Lane has short lines and great service.

Frequently Asked Moving Questions in South Lake Tahoe
You've got moving questions, we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in South Lake Tahoe.
The short answer is that booking with HireAHelper saves you hours of work, helps you get the best price and value, and protects you and your belongings. Here are some of the key ways HireAHelper makes booking movers better:
- Vetted Movers You Can Trust: Every mover on our platform is vetted, background-checked, and held to our high standards. And if anything goes wrong, we act as your advocate to find a resolution with your mover. If we can’t find a resolution, our $1,000 Service Guarantee will cover you and your items.
- Book in Minutes, Not Hours: Contacting multiple local movers, comparing quotes, determining their availability, and researching their reputation can take hours of work. On the other hand, HireAHelper lets you easily compare the reputation of movers, instantly determine availability, see transparent pricing for each, and book online in just a few clicks—even same-day in many areas.
- Dedicated Customer Support: Last minute questions are normal, and our experienced and friendly team is here 7 days a week to help with anything before, during, or after your move.
- Smart, Affordable Protection Options: HireAHelper offers an easy and affordable way to protect your items during a labor-only move. Our optional SmartProtection covers up to $10,000 worth of belongings, and the lowest tier ($2,500) is only $19.
- Best Price Guarantee: All these benefits must come at a higher price, right? Wrong. HireAHelper’s platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure you’re getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? We’ll match it. That means you don’t pay extra to use HireAHelper—in fact, you may save money.
All South Lake Tahoe movers listed on HireAHelper are required to provide standard repair coverage, which reimburses $0.60 per pound for damaged items. Some states may have different rules, and full-value protection is only required by the federal government for moves that cross state lines.
One of the advantages of booking with HireAHelper is that every move includes our $1,000 Service Guarantee. Plus, you can upgrade your protection by adding SmartProtection™—an optional coverage for labor-only moves that offers up to $10,000 in damage coverage, with multiple tiers to choose from.
Yes, professional movers will typically disassemble and reassemble furniture as part of the moving process. However, there are certain items that movers may not be able to disassemble. Learn more about how furniture disassembly and reassembly works when you hire movers.
One set of stairs is always included in your mover’s rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to get a quote and indicate the number of sets of stairs that you have—make sure to include stairs leading to a basement if you will have any items that need to be moved into or out of it. Read more about when movers charge extra for stairs.
You should start packing at least three to four weeks before your move, but the sooner the better. If you need to downsize or organize, we recommend starting that process 6-8 weeks before your move when at all possible.
Need to move in a hurry or don’t have time to pack? HireAHelper makes it easy to add professional packing as an add-on to your move. When available, you can get packing help for just several rooms or your whole home.
For helpful tips, step-by-step guides, and checklists, go to our packing hub.
