HireAHelper's Best Price Guarantee Find a lower price for the same move? We'll match it. You can book with the confidence that you are getting the best value for your move. Learn more. |
The Cost of Labor-Only vs. Local-Full Service
Even after factoring in the cost of a rental truck, gas, and supplies, labor-only moving usually costs less than half of what you'd pay for local full-service. Full-service is definitely more convenientābut that convenience comes at a price. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.
| Labor-Only | Local-Full Service | |
|---|---|---|
| Lakeland, FL | $348.92 | $1,048.76 |
| Florida | $399.36 | $1,048.76 |
| The United States | $451.87 | $1,167.76 |
Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size
As mentioned above, it costs $348.92 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Lakeland, FL, with an average hourly rate of $78.34. Your final price will depend on how long your move takes.
To get a better sense of what your move might cost, you can see the average cost for different-sized moves in the table below. Learn more about HireAHelper's methodology for calculating average costs based on proprietary data from over 1 million moves.
| Home Size | Average Cost | Average # of Movers | Average # of Hours |
| 1 Bedroom Apartment | $270.56 | 2 movers | 2.1 hours |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | $311.43 | 2 movers | 2.3 hours |
| 3 Bedroom Apartment | $363.46 | 2 movers | 2.6 hours |
| 2 Bedroom House | $340.84 | 2 movers | 2.3 hours |
| 3 Bedroom House | $397.04 | 2 movers | 2.4 hours |
| 4 Bedroom House | $476.33 | 3 movers | 2.7 hours |
| 5 Bedroom House | $562.99 | 3 movers | 3.5 hours |
What Is Labor-Only?
When most people think of a moving company, they picture a full-service crew that loads, drives, and unloads everything. For in-town moves, this is known as local full-service.
Labor-only moving works differently. You handle the transportation (like a rental truck or PODS container) and we connect you with professional moving contractors to help load or unload your furniture and boxes.
While labor-only requires a bit more work on your end to coordinate all the details, it's considerably more affordable.
| Full-Service Moving | Labor-Only Moving | |

| Moving Truck | Included | You Provide |

These guys were great! They were right on time, very efficient and well prepared, and incredibly respectful of my home and belongings. I would absolutely use them again for help with loading a POD. Thank you!
I am prior military and I have moved dozens of times but this is the best move ever they were fantastic nothing got broken everything was put in the place that I asked they are the best of the best I will recommend them always one the owner was excellent
This crew was outstanding!! They organized the storage units and did all of the heavy lifting. They finished the job early. I highly recommend them and would hire them again. Thank you for working with my last minute schedule and changes.
I saw my team two days in a row for unloading a pods container at two different locations. They were the best!! Hard working, efficient, professional and friendly! Can recommend ??
Came early, worked quick. Were super friendly and helpful and made sure everything was done to my liking before leaving. Would definitely use them again!
The two gentlemen who assited us today were professional, helpful and courteous. They were very careful and asked the right questions and then did an excellent job! I highly recommend AB Movers.
They did a phenomenal job. When we first got our Pod delivered, we thought for sure our things wouldn’t fit. To our surprise, the movers not only fit everything but did so in record time. They were polite, on time, and did a great job. Highly recommended.
Excellent! Came within their time frame, communicated clearly, worked efficiently, finished in under the time we thought we'd need. Nice, friendly, professional.
Von and Chris were a tremendous help in moving us out of our second floor apartment. They were respectful, personable, and professional making the experience as seamless and enjoyable as possible
Highly recommend the crew of Zane, James and Richard. Prompt, efficient and courteous. They got the job done. Would definitely request and use them again. Thanks for your help
I’ve used AB Movers twice now and always pleased with the service, care and attention. Some movers aren’t gentle with your belongings, or don’t really work for the two hours, but these guys never scratched or damaged my things. Abraham and Luis came early to our agreed time and worked hard and professionally. Can’t wait to use them again.
Amazing job. We had 2 26 foot trucks full. Ben and his team showed up and had us unloaded in 2 hrs. Very respectful, very conscientious and thoughtful. They made sure the bins went into the proper rooms. Nothing was damaged. Prior to our arrival they were in constant communication, so that they arrived when we did. We were delayed a day and Ben was very accommodating. 10 out of 10

All Lakeland movers listed on HireAHelper are required to provide standard repair coverage, which reimburses $0.60 per pound for damaged items. Some states may have different rules, and full-value protection is only required by the federal government for moves that cross state lines.
One of the advantages of booking with HireAHelper is that every move includes our $1,000 Service Guarantee. Plus, you can upgrade your protection by adding SmartProtectionā¢āan optional coverage for labor-only moves that offers up to $10,000 in damage coverage, with multiple tiers to choose from.
Yes, professional movers will typically disassemble and reassemble furniture as part of the moving process. However, there are certain items that movers may not be able to disassemble. Learn more about how furniture disassembly and reassembly works when you hire movers.
One set of stairs is always included in your moverās rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to get a quote and indicate the number of sets of stairs that you haveāmake sure to include stairs leading to a basement if you will have any items that need to be moved into or out of it. Read more about when movers charge extra for stairs.
You should start packing at least three to four weeks before your move, but the sooner the better. If you need to downsize or organize, we recommend starting that process 6-8 weeks before your move when at all possible.
Need to move in a hurry or don’t have time to pack? HireAHelper makes it easy to add professional packing as an add-on to your move. When available, you can get packing help for just several rooms or your whole home.
