Full Value Protection
is a plan under which your mover is liable for the replacement value of the belongings in your shipment. If any of your personal property is lost, destroyed or damaged while in the mover’s custody, the company will repair or replace the item, or make a cash settlement for the cost of the repair or the current market value. The cost for full value protection liability coverage varies by mover; different deductibles (that you can choose) will reduce or increase the price. Note that full value liability is more expensive and is the default. If you don’t specifically select released value, your shipment will automatically be transported at the full value protection level and you will be assessed the applicable charge.
Standard Liability Coverage
is offered at no additional charge beyond the moving fee. However, it provides only a minimal protection—no more than 60 cents per pound per article. So if your mover loses or damages a 10-pound stereo component valued at $1,000, you would only receive $6.00 in compensation (60 cents x 10 pounds).
Separate liability coverage
may be offered by your mover to augment your released value protection for an additional fee.
