    Moving insurance and valuation explained

    Understanding your coverage before moving day helps avoid confusion later.

    What does moving valuation mean?

    Federal regulations require moving companies to offer valuation options. Understanding your coverage before moving day helps avoid confusion later.

    What is released valuation?

    A basic level of coverage included at no additional cost, typically calculated by weight rather than replacement value.

    What is full-value protection?

    A higher tier of coverage available for an additional cost that considers the actual value of items during transit.

    Does my homeowners insurance cover a move?

    Some policies include limited coverage during a move. It's worth calling your provider to confirm what is and isn't included.

    How should I document specialty items?

    Photograph high-value items, keep receipts or appraisals, and share the list with your moving coordinator before move day.

    Do you recommend a written inventory?

    Yes. A written inventory helps document the condition and quantity of items being moved.
