Moving Insurance Company

Moving insurance is purchased when an individual, family, or company relocates and wants to insure items during the relocation process. 

Because relocation inherently places the security of items at risk, having moving insurance is a good way to protect your move, as it ensures you’ll be reimbursed if any of your items are damaged during the relocation.  

Due to the vast array of moving situations, there are countless types of moving insurance policies and moving insurance companies out there to ensure that every relocator has something that works for them.

Is Moving Insurance Necessary? 

Short answer, yes. For the long answer, read on. 

In the event of theft or mishandling of valuable items, moving company insurance offers you peace of mind and a way to receive compensation in the event of property damage. 

The only reason why you might consider forgoing movers insurance is if your items are not valuable enough to you to insure. In this case, the possibility of losing or having those items damaged may not be worth it to you to justify paying for insurance. 

If you don’t consider your items valuable enough to insure, you may want to consider the potential costs of having to replace all the items that are being moved (in the event that you don’t insure them). If the cost of insurance is less than that of having to potentially replace damaged or stolen items, choosing to insure them is still likely the best option. 

What Items Aren’t Protected With Moving Company Insurance? 

While movers insurance generally covers all items that are transported and handled by the moving crew, there are some items that are excluded from most moving insurance policies. These items will not be reimbursed if they become damaged, lost, or stolen during the move. 

Some unprotected items are: 

• Perishable food or drink items. 
• Valuable items that are transported without the knowledge of the movers (you must inform moving teams in writing if they will be handling items of significant value). 
• Items that are damaged due to a natural disaster. In this case the event was not caused by the negligence or mishandling of the moving crew and therefore they cannot be held responsible. 
• Hazardous items that are packed without the knowledge of the moving team.
