Insurance/Valuation Guide
Get Free Moving Quote
We understand that your items are a lifetime’s worth of personal possessions and furnishings that have both material and sentimental value.
We offer several options for protecting your goods during the move. The option you select sets the limits of our liability for any loss or damage to your belongings.
Please take time to review and understand your options.
Full Replacement Valuation
This coverage costs extra but provides more comprehensive coverage for the real value of your goods. With this plan, any items lost or damaged during your move will be repaired or replaced with similar items without depreciation for their age.
The way it works:
- You declare a lump sum value for your shipment. There is a minimum required declaration of $5.00 per pound (so that, for example, a 10,000 lbs. shipment will be valued at a minimum of $50,000).
- You select your desired deductible – $0, $250, or $500.
The final price for this protection plan depends on the value you declare for your goods and the level of deduction you select.
Release Rate Valuation
Release Rate Valuation of 60¢ per pound per article is minimal coverage liability that is provided at no charge to you. Note that this often does not cover the actual cost of replacing or repairing your goods
For example, if a 10 lb. laptop computer were lost or destroyed during your move, you would only be reimbursed as follows: 10 lbs. x 60¢ per lb. = $6.00
Replacement Value Insurance
You can also choose to insure your move using a third-party insurance provider. This is typically called Replacement Value Insurance and should cover you for the full true replacement value of your goods.
If you have renter’s or homeowner’s insurance, you may already be covered or may be able to purchase an inexpensive rider. Check with your insurance agent.
If you choose to purchase relocation insurance, you should expect to receive at least the following terms:
- Full replacement value coverage
- 90-day guaranteed claim resolution
- 30 days of free storage insurance
- Coverage against fire, theft, and acts of nature

Work With Certified NYC Movers
These guys are TRUE PROFESSIONALS! We've now moved with them twice (once in 2017 and then again this week) and we really can't say enough good things about them. Simi is incredibly easy to work with for scheduling and quotes, and the crews - John, Super Mario, and everyone - are just awesome. They're quick, incredibly careful and conscientious, and super friendly. If we ever move again (and god I hope we don't have to) we're absolutely calling them.

Yes. Our company offers several different types of insurance protection, including a full replacement for your belongings. The cost of the coverage will depend on the value you declare for your goods and the level of deduction you select.
How soon should I schedule my move?
It is recommended to arrange for the services of a moving company at least 8 weeks ahead of your planned move. If you plan to move during the holiday season or in the summer, it is advisable to schedule the move 12 weeks in advance. However, for moves that occur between September and May, you may be able to book movers with just 2 weeks' notice. Ideally, you should secure your moving crew as soon as you have all the necessary information about your relocation.
Does your company offer packing supplies?
We do. In addition to providing you with the essential boxes and packing supplies required for your relocation, we offer several "Saver" packages tailored to the size of your home. If you do not use all the boxes you have bought, you can return them to the moving team at the end of your move, and we will reimburse the remaining amount.
