Whether you plan to move domestically or internationally, there are a lot of things to take into consideration when choosing a moving company. First, you must consider their reputation as a mover. Second, you should come to an agreement on the price of the move. Third, you should find out the different types of insurance that is offered by the moving company.

When you move, your personal property (including valuables) is loaded onto a moving truck. And while most moves go smoothly, accidents do happen and some items may be lost or damaged during the shipment. Insurance coverage is often overlooked when moving, but it plays a critical role in getting your belongings from one location to another safely. Insurance will not prevent an accident from occurring, but it will provide monetary protection for your valuable possessions if one does occur.

Most accidents occur when you least expect them or when you are not covered for them. Unless you buy moving insurance, your property is probably not covered for all that it is worth. Most movers are liable for your items to a max value that is predetermined by the company’s terms and conditions. The type of insurance you purchase will determine how much money you would be reimbursed if the worst should happen and some of your items are lost or damaged. It is very important that you look over the insurance option and are aware of how much each one costs and what it will cover.

It’s important that you take a complete inventory of your possessions before the moving day or before you sign on for insurance coverage. This inventory should list what items you are moving, the value or replacement price of each, whether it’s fragile or not, and what type of condition it is in. It will take a while to make up such a list, but it is well worth the time and effort if your valuables are lost or broken. It’s especially important to do this when moving internationally, because of the many customs and inspections to which your belongings might be subjected to during the trip.

Move One is an international moving company with almost two decades of experience under its belt, offering a wide selection of insurance coverage to best fit the need of its customers. Besides basic insurance that comes with every move, which covers a certain percentage of your value, there are three general insurance options that Move One can offer you.

• The first option is Full Replacement: this insurance will cover all your losses and damages should the worst occur.
• The second coverage option is called Total Loss:  this would cover the total loss of the whole shipment.
• The third and final coverage would be Full Replacement with Deductibles: this would cover the full replacement of the shipment excluding deductibles.

Move One insurance also covers pairs and sets plus electrical rearrangement, which can come in handy many times.
