The Cost of Hiring Movers in Thousand Oaks, CA

On average, it costs $318.87 to hire moving helpers in Thousand Oaks, CA. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Thousand Oaks, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $78.16.

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 Thousand Oaks, CA is $771.49, with an average hourly rate of $98.81. 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.

The team was absolutely incredible. They were punctual, moved quickly, extremely polite and respectful, and were experts at loading PODS storage containers. We were nervous that our stuff wouldn’t fit, but the team utilized every inch of the POD and fit everything with room to spare. Would absolutely hire them again for a moving/packing related job

Absolutely the best most professional service I've had contact with in a long time! The employees are very hard working and very methodical.

We hired this company to load furniture and belongings into a PODS container, for a one bedroom apartment. Daniel was very professional and helpful. He asked about the furniture and the number of boxes. He kept in touch about his arrival time. The two workers worked hard and finished in the two hour period.
