It’s important to feel comfortable with your moving service provider – after all, they’ll be handling most or all of your worldly possessions. All household moving companies are required to obtain insurance coverage, the specifics of which vary state-to-state.
The following forms of insurance are required offerings for all movers:
Cargo Insurance
Inclusive protection of your goods covers customers in the event of:
- Damage during transit, including automobile accidents
- Loss or theft
Cargo insurance is not required to confirm to any particular federal standards, so be aware that offered policies will differ (sometimes greatly) from mover to mover. When shopping around, consider more than just price; rather, ensure that you will be properly covered against the worst.
