Moving Insurance

Movers201 has been committed to serving you the customer. In order to avoid misunderstandings, we would like you to read the following information.

  1. All charges must be paid in full before any claim can be placed by customer or process by us.
  2. Upon completion of the job, it is the customer’s responsibility to inspect the truck to make sure nothing has been left behind.

CUSTOMER’S DECLARATION OF VALUE

Option A Limited Liability

As a licensed common carrier, we are required to provide limited liability coverage at no charge to the customer. Under this option maximum liability is limited to $0.60 per pound per article, in the event of damage or loss.

Option B Full Replacement Coverage

With Depreciated Value Protection a claim settlement will be either the cost to repair or a cash payment of the depreciated value of an article.

Movers201 claims department uses a depreciation chart to determine any cash payment settlement under this coverage.

The maximum amount that can be covered with this plan is $50,000.00 and the minimum amount of coverage needed for option B is determined by multiplying the size of the shipment by $30 per cubic foot. Example: if the goods to be moved total 850 cubic ft., at the rate of $30 per cubic ft. the minimum amount to be covered is $25,500. However, it is the customer’s responsibility to choose the proper amount of coverage. If the full declared value is not taken, a penalty will be incurred based on the ratio between the actual value and the declared shipment. For example: if $20,000 worth of goods were moved, yet only $10,000 worth of coverage was purchased, the payment for any damage would be adjusted downward by one-half ($10,000-$20,000)

Important Note: Valuation coverage in not insurance. Valuation is a tariff level of the carriers liability in the event of the loss or damage of your goods while under due course of transit by Movers201. This type of coverage is unique to carriers alone and therefore it is important for the customer to understand what valuation does and does not cover.

Option C Full Replacement Coverage

A full replacement coverage of is based on a minimum declared value of $28.00 per cubic foot. The charge for this option will be 7% of the coverage value. This option carries a $500.00 or $1000.00 deductible value with a minimum coverage charge of $700.00

Coverage options A, B or C do not apply to:

  1. Any article of extraordinary nature or value, unless a special agreement has been stipulated to do so. Including but not limited to jewelry, furs, stocks, bonds, cash, antiques and art collections.
  2. Loss or damage resulting from wear and tear, moths or vermin, dampness of atmosphere or extremes of temperature.
