Valuation
The standard coverage for all moving companies is set by the DOT/TxDMV. You might have heard the phrase "60 cents per pound per item". This is provided as part of your move. It is very basic and very minimal. It is called valuation, not insurance.
High Value Items
You must notify us of all items in your shipment which are considered to be of extraordinary value. You must advise us in writing that they are in your shipment. These items are defined as items having a value greater than $100.00 per pound per article. Failure to notify us of such articles will limit our liability to a maximum of $100 per pound for each article lost or damaged not to exceed the released or declared value of the shipment, or the full cost of repair to the damaged property.
Insurance
Homeowners/Renters Insurance
You might have a policy that covers you for your move. We recommend that you check your policy and speak with your agent to see if you have coverage.
Third Party Insurance
Replacement Value Insurance is coverage that should provide you protection for the full true replacement value of your goods. This insurance can be purchased from any third party provider or from MovingInsurance.com. We have had clients use them in the past and have had a good experience.
Certificates of Insurance
These are forms that are completed to allow access to buildings throughout NYC/Austin. They are proof that we have the general liability, cargo, workers comp, and disability insurance necessary to operate within a building. If your building requires it, we can have these completed, when necessary.
