Movers provide expertise, physical capabilities, and resources that reduce stress, eliminate heavy lifting, and minimize the risk of injury during your move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Editor\u2019s Note:<\/strong> The Moving Help Marketplace has moving labor Service Providers. Moving Help doesn\u2019t have movers. You can find moving labor providers for all your labor-only moving needs.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Simply put, hiring a full-service moving company will likely end up setting you back about $2,000-$5,000 on average. (It could be more or less depending on your house\u2019s size and how many belongings you own.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Between bringing on full-service movers and just taking care of it all yourself, there\u2019s another option that you should consider: Moving Help<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moving Help is an online Marketplace powered by U-Haul designed to reduce moving company costs by connecting customers with local moving labor providers to help with moving services, such as loading and unloading<\/a>, packing and unpacking<\/a>, cleaning<\/a>, and other moving labor services<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The average cost across the United States for two helpers for two hours is $279 in 2025 for moving labor, and the average cost across Canada for two helpers for two hours is $270 Canadian dollars in 2025 for moving labor<\/strong> \u2014 could be more or less depending on your location\u2019s address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Marketplace allows you to quickly locate local Service Providers who are ready and available for hire in your area. Search for providers based on area, price, reviews, and services, so you can be sure that you\u2019re getting the assistance you need without putting your moving budget<\/a> at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moving labor from Moving Help are labor-only Service Providers<\/a>, so you\u2019ll still need to provide a truck, furniture pads, and any other moving equipment<\/a>. If you\u2019re looking for strong backs and reliable moving expertise, Moving Help is the cost-friendly answer you\u2019ve been needing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When planning your move, it\u2019s crucial to understand the factors that influence moving company costs. These costs can vary significantly based on three key factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some full-service moving companies charge based on the distance of your move. A long-distance move will obviously cost more than a short-distance move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some full-service moving companies charge based on the weight of your belongings. If you own heavier items to load, transport, and unload your items, you\u2019ll see a higher cost in your total bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A full-service moving company charges based on the time\/hours. The longer it\u2019ll take to complete your move, the more you\u2019ll have to pay for your move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moving Help charges by the hour for most moving labor services. Moving Help has specialty services that are charge per gun safe, per piano, or per U-Box storage container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, it\u2019s important to remember that full-service moving companies may offer a variety of services that can affect pricing. Some full-service moving companies might include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The time of year can increase or decrease moving costs as well. Peak moving season might result in higher prices because of an increased demand for moving services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keeping these factors in mind can help you better anticipate and budget for your move\u2019s cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you hire movers, there could be a variety of other factors that\u2019ll increase or decrease your final cost before and after full-service movers arrive at your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With Moving Help, you can get an instant, upfront quote of the total moving labor costs no matter what services you select. With no hidden fees \u2014 other than possible additional customer invoices that came up during the job \u2014 and the flexibility that booking by the hours offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some cost factors to consider when figuring out how much does a moving company cost can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll need to decide what factors apply to you and which factors you can handle yourself \u2014 such as packing \u2014 if you don\u2019t want your moving company to take care of it. You\u2019ll also want to get multiple quotes, so you can compare prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the best things about moving is there are many different moving companies to choose from for your move. When looking for a moving company, you\u2019ll also have some additional aspects to consider before you can get started. Some of these considerations include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your climate and availability allow for it, you\u2019ll want to move during the winter months vs. the summer months. Because most people would prefer to move during the warmer months of spring or summer, winter moves tend to cost less. As a bonus, a moving company\u2019s schedule is usually more flexible because of lower demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many people aren\u2019t interested in trying to facilitate a move in the middle of the work week. This means it\u2019ll be less busy (and possibly less expensive) to move between Monday through Thursday vs. Friday through Sunday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n As with seasons and days of the week, you also should be aware of any holidays that might fall on your moving days. Holidays are busy times for moving companies, as they try to be available when their customers aren\u2019t working or in school. This also is true for days at the beginning and end of the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You have a life and responsibilities, and that means there are probably only certain, specific dates you can dedicate to your move. Unfortunately, moving companies also have schedules to keep, and if you don\u2019t book early enough, your movers might not be available when you need them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your area has more movers, you\u2019ll have a wider range of prices from moving companies, which could mean more competitive prices. If your area has fewer movers, you might have to choose from a limited set of options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These general cost factors can increase or decrease your total cost when selecting a moving company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To maximize your savings, consider implementing these strategies collectively. Each suggestion contributes to lowering your overall moving expenses. Therefore, if you combine two of them \u2014 reducing the number of items you own, renting a truck instead using a full-service company\u2019s truck \u2014 can lead to potential savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can hire moving labor from U-Haul<\/a> for more than just loading and unloading a truck rental<\/a>. You can book Service Providers for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just keep in mind you\u2019ll want to hire helpers sooner rather than later<\/a>. Same-day moving labor will cost you more money<\/a> compared to finding moving labor weeks or months in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It can cost a little bit or much more depending on how many services you need, when you\u2019re moving, what help you need moving to your new home, and other factors for a full-service moving company.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMoving Help Moving Labor Costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
