NYC Moving Insurance Company: Carrier Liability for Loss or Damage to Household Goods

For Intrastate Hourly Rate Moves

On Intrastate hourly rate moves and on moves that are charged by the hour, the shipment will be valued at 30 cents, per pound, per article. In accordance with the NYS Department of Transportation regulations, your Bill of Lading issued by Shleppers provides a “valuation.” (i.e. insurance)

This is a minimum amount of protection and the customer should be aware that this does not provide full coverage relocation insurance for belongings. Having this protection does not exclude the purchase of additional third-party relocation insurance.

For Intrastate Binding Price Moves and All Intrastate Moves

On Intrastate binding price moves and on any Interstate moves, the shipment will be valued at 60 cents, per pound, per article. In accordance with the NYS Department of Transportation regulations, your Bill of Lading issued by Shleppers provides a “valuation.” (i.e. insurance)

This is a minimum amount of protection, and the customer should be aware that this does not provide full coverage insurance for your belongings. Having this protection does not exclude the purchase of additional third-party insurance.

Additional Protection for Your Belongings: Full Replacement Value Insurance.

Your homeowner’s insurance may cover your possessions while they are being moved from one residence to the next. Check with your broker to make sure you know what coverage you already have in place. If you have no coverage in place, or would like to supplement your protection, we recommend contacting MovingInsurance.com and Baker Insurance for a moving company insurance quote. This coverage needs to be obtained prior to the actual move day.
