The Cost of Hiring Movers in Vista, CA

On average, it costs $419.29 to hire moving helpers in Vista, CA. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Vista, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $91.40.

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 Vista, CA is $546.56, with an average hourly rate of $140.13. 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.

Dimitri and his partner were fantastic. So careful and thorough and they worked very hard. I’m amazed at the care they took wrapping every piece of furniture and maximizing the storage pod space. I hope I can book them for my unloading on the other end!

I moved from NorCal with a rented Uhaul. San Diego family movers was contracted to unload and move me in. The service and communication were excellent. Brandon was very efficient and timely with communication and logistics. Sid and Shaq were very professional and service oriented in their role as movers. I would highly recommend this team from San Diego family movers.

The movers communicated well—called the day before, the day of, and 30 minutes prior to arrival. They were courteous and completed the job without any issues. My only suggestion is to provide a way to call them back—there was no caller ID or contact number in case I needed to reach them. Otherwise, great experience.
