Most moving companies do everything they can to protect your belongings; however, all moving companies are required by law to offer Limited Liability Coverage, at no additional cost, for anything that is broken or lost during the move. This plan compensates you 72 cents per pound on each item that is lost or damaged. If you want more coverage, most moving companies offer other valuation plans at an additional cost.
For greater protection, many moving companies offer Full Value Protection Coverage. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration states, “Under Full Value Protection, your mover is responsible for the replacement value of lost or damaged goods in your entire shipment.” Under this plan, if an item is lost or damaged during the move, the moving company will either repair it, replace it, or offer a cash settlement for the cost of the repair or the current market replacement value.
At Mountain Moving & Storage, we take utmost care to prevent any damage or loss during the move. However, we offer Limited Liability Coverage and Full Value Protection as moving valuation options. Therefore, if such an unfortunate event occurs, you will be covered exactly how you want to be. “We’re committed to your peace of mind, ensuring that your belongings are protected throughout the moving process,” explains our General Manager, Shannon Webb.
