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 | |
|---|---|---|
| Tustin, CA | $410.30 | $1,060.80 |
| California | $458.02 | $1,151.83 |
| The United States | $451.90 | $1,167.84 |
Did you know? More than 1 out of 3 HireAHelper customers use their move helpers to load or unload their PODS container.
Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size
As mentioned above, it costs $410.30 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Tustin, CA, with an average hourly rate of $80.02. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom Apartment | $313.17 | 2 movers | 2.3 hours |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | $360.48 | 2 movers | 2.4 hours |
| 3 Bedroom Apartment | $420.70 | 2 movers | 2.8 hours |
| 2 Bedroom House | $394.51 | 2 movers | 2.6 hours |
| 3 Bedroom House | $459.56 | 2 movers | 2.7 hours |
| 4 Bedroom House | $551.34 | 3 movers | 3.1 hours |
| 5 Bedroom House | $651.64 | 3 movers | 3.9 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.
Compare Costs for Additional Moving Options
Our Moving Cost Calculator can help you compare and estimate costs for local or long distance moves, across Labor Only, Full Service, and Moving Container moves. You can adjust the distance of your move and home size to compare prices and help plan your budget.

Ivan and his team at Lucky movers were unbelievably helpful! Wow!!! They loaded my whole three bedroom home into pod in three hours. It was like watching expert Tetris players win a tournament. They took great care of my items and furniture and were astoundingly efficient with space effort and time. I Highly recommend them for any move but especially when using PODS. Great team!!!!!

Excellent movers did a great job.
After a scheduling situation with Pods, I asked them the night before they were scheduled to come to come early the next morning and they were able to accommodate us and were there right on time, 10 minutes early, actually. We were concerned that all out things won't fit into the 8 ft. Pod but they got everything in and some extra, and they did it in less than an hour.
I would highly recommend them. We hope the helpers we get to unload the Pod will be as good.

Real Advice from Tustin Movers
We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Tustin. (They’re really nice!)
Depending if they are moving local or close by I recommend taking Ramona express way to Perris Ca. If they are going west I recommend taking Gilman spring to the 60 west.
Please note most of the buildings in California require to have general liability insurance to be presented by your moving company. It can take up to 2 business days to make the certificates, so please ask your manager if the building has that requirement to save your time on the move day.
Avoid rush hours on weekdays and Saturday afternoons.

Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Tustin
You've got moving questions, we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in Tustin.
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 Tustin 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.
