The Cost of Hiring Movers in Waukegan, IL

On average, it costs $349.76 to hire moving helpers in Waukegan, IL. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Waukegan, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $75.49.

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 Waukegan, IL is $1,112.00, with an average hourly rate of $112.76. 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.

They were a little late because their first job of the day took longer. They finished the job in 45 minutes. They were respectful of my property, took care of home and helped with minor assembly. I would hire them again.

These guys were awesome. They showed up down a man due to a family emergency, but worked super hard making sure everything I needed got moved into the pod, as well as bulky furniture I needed to get out of the apartment and into the back alley. I would hire them again.

Shaq and his teammate were very attentive and very helpful. They handled our unpacking with more care than the loaders had, and some items are better contained in storage than they were during the trip to storage. We really appreciate their great work and professionalism. We will definitely recommend the services to anyone.
