The Cost of Hiring Movers in Watsonville, CA

On average, it costs $346.17 to hire moving helpers in Watsonville, CA. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Watsonville, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $92.72.

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 Watsonville, CA is $1,070.00, with an average hourly rate of $117.91. 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.

Excellent moving experience! The team was punctual, friendly, and professional. They carefully fit everything into my tiny moving pod, which was no easy task. Would absolutely hire again!

I am very happy with the service. Austin and Alex arrived on time, were friendly and helpful, they were prepared with a truck, dolly and straps, were respectful of the property and worked hard. I would definitely ask them for help again.

We had a last minute job and David was super responsive and moved around a job to squeeze us in. They were very efficient and careful with our furniture. We wish we had known they did long distance moves, we would have used them for everything. Highly recommended!!!

They were very kind and responsive. Showed up and got to work. We had two Pod containers and they packed them so efficiently. Were we worried about room but they got everything in there, packed the right way and safely. I am a real estate agent and will be recommending them to my clients going forward. Thank you for the great job.

They were extremely polite, got to work in a well organized, hard working manner. They checked in with me regularly to be sure all the pieces and aspects of the loading process were satisfactory and had been included. I definitely would request this team in the future.
