Understanding Valuation Coverage

Federal Law and FMCSA Regulations

Under Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations, all moving companies are required to offer two types of liability options:

Released Value Protection (Basic Coverage):

  • This is the most economical protection available and is included in your moving fee.
  • It provides minimal protection, compensating at 60 cents per pound per article in case of damage or loss.

Full Value Protection:

  • Offers more comprehensive coverage.
  • In case of loss or damage, your mover is liable for the replacement value of lost or damaged items.
  • This option may involve additional charges.

  • Under this plan, if any item is lost, damaged, or destroyed, we have the option to either repair, replace with a similar item, or settle in cash for the repair cost or current market replacement value.
  • This coverage requires an additional fee, which varies based on the value of your belongings and the level of protection you choose.
  • Please call us at (303) 481-8194 for more details and to opt for Full Value Protection.

Third-Party Insurance Options

  • This platform offers various third-party insurance options that provide different levels of protection based on your unique needs.
  • Third-party insurance can be a suitable option for high-value items or for more comprehensive coverage beyond what standard moving valuation offers.

How to Choose the Right Protection

  • Assess Your Inventory: Consider the value of your items and what it would cost to repair or replace them.
  • Understand the Coverage: Ensure you understand the extent and limitations of each coverage option.
  • Consider Additional Insurance: For high-value or sentimental items, additional insurance may be prudent.

FAQs About Valuation Coverage

Is valuation coverage the same as moving insurance?

No, valuation coverage is the liability that a moving company assumes. Moving insurance is a separate policy for additional protection.

If you don’t select Full Value Protection, your shipment will be transported under the Released Value Protection, which offers minimal compensation.

Can I obtain third-party insurance for specific items?
