You can minimize your risk by choosing a moving company with years of proven excellence and a stellar reputation for service. You might already have moving insurance coverage through your homeowner\u2019s or renter\u2019s insurance policy. If your homeowner\u2019s or renter\u2019s insurance doesn&#8217;t give you the coverage you want, be sure to find out what kind of insurance comes with the price of your move.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5ldiOqKYIsg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What kind of basic coverage comes with the price of a move?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All licensed moving companies include government-regulated Basic Valuation in the cost of a move, which is not full-coverage insurance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Valuation refers to how much moving companies will pay for belongings that are damaged or lost. In most States, Basic Valuation is $.60 per pound per item.\u00a0 It&#8217;s based on how much an item weighs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means a one-pound bag of sugar and a one-pound bag of diamonds are valued exactly the same. If an item is worth more to you than $.60 per pound, we recommend getting more coverage.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Best Moving Tip:<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best insurance is a stellar mover with a\u00a0 reputation for excellent service. Look for a moving company that has been in business for decades; years of experience are proof that clients keep coming back for more. Verify\u00a0 the moving company is insured and check that their license number is valid by searching it in this<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/li-public.fmcsa.dot.gov\/LIVIEW\/pkg_carrquery.prc_carrlist\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">database<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
