Based on 1M+ completed moves across our platform.
"Most cost estimates are based on limited data that doesn't account for timing, location, or move size. Ours are built on years of real moves — so what you see here is actually based on what people in Irvine pay."
How we calculate these numbers
1
Start with local data We pull from 1M+ completed moves on our platform. If Irvine has enough data (at least 10 moves of a given size), that local data is our baseline.
2
Fill gaps with regional context Where local data is thin, we expand to county, then state, then cities with comparable household income levels—so estimates stay market-relevant.
3
Normalize for consistency We apply weighted calculations across categories to prevent a single outlier from skewing what a typical move should cost.
Keep in mind: many factors can affect the actual cost of your move—like the time of year, current demand, number of stairs, heavy items, and more. The best way to get accurate pricing for your specific move is to use our simple, 3-step quote tool. You can compare pricing from multiple providers, customize your move, and ultimately book the mover that best fits your needs.
How to Save on Moving in Irvine
In Irvine, CA, the average cost of labor-only move help is only $410.30, compared to $1,060.80 for a local full-service move, so hiring labor-only movers could save you hundreds of dollars on your move, if you're willing to rent a truck or moving container.
Additionally, MovingPlace's algorithm matches you with the mover that offers the best value for your needs, and our Best Price Guarantee means that you can book with the confidence that you are getting the best deal.
Real Experiences From Verified Bookings
Wonderful, thoughtful crew. They arrived on time and worked very hard to help us unload our 16ft POD. They even stayed to help us for an additional hour, although our original appointment was for only two hours. Contact was maintained throughout the appointment and everyone was very professional, hard working, and very easy to work with. It was such a great experience!!

The original moving labor helpers we hired through "HireAHelper" cancelled the day of the move. Rigo's Moving & Storage stepped up two hours before we needed them. We were incredibly thankful! The two guys that helped us were efficient, quick, and very friendly. We would definitely recommend this moving company!

Movers | We the States Moving
They were very pleasant and respectful. Showed up on time. You could tell that their main goal was speed though. They were tossing boxes around, some even stacked upside down. I had some broken items but I know some of that is prob from the movers who loaded my pod. Impossible for me to tell.
