Hire Local Movers for Any Type of Move

The easiest and most affordable way to handle a local move is often to rent a moving truck and do it yourself, maybe with help from family and friends. Unfortunately, your friends can flake, and loading and unloading your belongings are always harder than you imagine.

Moving Help makes local moving easier. Whether you’re moving from an apartment, townhouse, or single-family home, the skilled, labor-only local movers on the Moving Help Marketplace can help you load, unload, and move efficiently.

What is Considered a Local Move?

A local move typically takes place within the same town or metro area, covers less than 100 miles, and can often be completed in a single day, or even just a few hours.

With Moving Help, you can often hire the same local moving Service Provider to help load your belongings at your current home and unload them at your new one. This streamlined approach helps keep your local move fast, affordable, and stress-free.

Local Moving Services That Fit Your Needs

No two moves are the same. That’s why our Marketplace makes it simple to customize your local moving services based on your needs.

Customize Your Local Moving Services Based on:

• Number of Service Providers
• Hours needed
• Types of services (loading, packing, etc.)
• Hourly rates that fit your budget

Maybe you need an extra set of hands to move a few boxes down the street. Maybe you need a full crew to pack and move your entire home across town. Either way, you can find local movers near you for a price you can afford.

How Much Do Local Movers Cost?

On average, two hours of moving labor with two helpers costs between $208 and $402, though prices can vary based on:

• Time of year
• Your location
• Demand
• The number of helpers

The easiest way to see your local moving cost is to enter your move details on our website. We’ll show you hourly rates for available Service Providers near you.

Because local Moving Helpers charge by the hour instead of by weight or distance like full-service movers, you only pay for the help you need, making this one of the most affordable ways to move locally.
