Compare and Hire Local Movers By The Hour — Get Matched in Minutes

The Moving Service Providers, also known as "Providers", who advertise on HireAHelper offer a variety of moving services from labor-only to truck services. Many are professional labor-only moving companies that specialize in load and unload services. Others are full-service moving companies sending their crew members with a truck. Some are individuals who aren't necessarily professional movers, but who can provide labor. Make sure to review a Provider's credentials, description, and customer reviews.

Each Provider lists the available equipment in their profile. If they charge for equipment, we ask them to list their prices.

Service Providers specialize in loading and unloading, most are not professional packers and do not provide boxes and other packing supplies. They can provide packing assistance if you are participating, supervising, and providing the supplies. If you'd like to have them help with packing, make sure to put this in your order details and account for the extra time needed.

Up to one flight of stairs is always included in every Service Provider's rates. Some Service Providers might charge more for additional flights, that will be shown upfront on their listing. You can also read the Service Provider's service description for more details.

This is something you should definitely discuss with your Service Provider prior to your job date. In general, if the furniture is light and doesn't contain breakable items, it might be okay. Otherwise, we recommend that you take out the breakable or particularly heavy items and make sure they are properly wrapped and packed.

When booking through HireAHelper, you receive repair coverage on every service which covers $.60/lb up to $10,000. We do not cover in transit damage unless you have booked both the loading and unloading services through HireAHelper and your transportation method is a moving container or rental truck. If you hire a service provider with an avg review of 4.5 or better there is also Full Value coverage available for purchase from MovingInsurance.com. Rates begin at $12 per $1000 in coverage.

Free cancellations up to 48 hours before your move start time. If you cancel fewer than 48 hours before the job start time, a fee of 10% of the order total will be charged. If you cancel fewer than 24 hours before the job start time, a fee equivalent to two hours of the service provider's hourly rate will be charged. Cancellations within one hour of the job start time are not eligible for a refund
