Do you need moving insurance?

Did you know that you can get moving insurance?


Moving companies already offer a small amount of basic coverage but you may want more. I’m not going to get into too much detail since I’m no expert but I’ll give you a quick rundown.


The basic coverage that all moving companies provide is $0.60 per pound per article. That means if something is damaged, you will receive compensation only for the one item that was damaged and not the full load. Unfortunately, that compensation is tiny. Think of it this way...if your dining room chair gets broken but only weighs 10lbs, you will get $6! How much did that chair cost you? $100? Now that $0.60 per pound sounds ridiculous right? That is because it is the government minimum coverage that was put into place somewhere around 1930!


So do you need moving insurance? That depends on how valuable are your belongings. Priceless painting? Get insurance. Band poster you hung on the wall with thumb tacks? No insurance.


If you do need insurance, keep it simple and go to MovingInsurance.com. No affiliation. Just an easy way to set it up.
