Beware of The “Car Salesman” Approach to Contracted Moves
One of the things you need to be aware of is that by law within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, moving companies MUST provide Basic Liability coverage for all goods moved. This coverage is insufficient for most move scenarios. But before you leap in and buy an expensive policy from your mover, you should know what you are covered for already. If your homeowner’s policy is in force for the entire period of your move, then you are most likely covered for catastrophic loss and you probably only need coverage for small damage. If you are going in and out of storage and have a gap with your homeowner’s, you will probably need full coverage from your storage provider or mover. Your coverage needs can only be determined after knowing your move scenario, your existing coverage, and your personal risk tolerance. If you do need coverage, then we offer a number of affordable insurance options.
If any moving company offers you insurance coverage plans without first assessing your need, then we offer this simple advice. RUN!
