Understanding Moving Insurance: Ameritex's Customer Briefing

Moving to a new home is a significant life event, and it's essential to take steps to protect your belongings during the transition. One crucial aspect of this protection is moving insurance. At Ameritex Movers, we believe that informed customers make better decisions, so here's a brief overview of moving insurance and how it can benefit you during your move.

Types of Moving Insurance:

• Basic Coverage: Most moving companies, including Ameritex Movers, provide basic coverage, often referred to as "released value protection." This insurance covers your belongings at a predetermined rate per pound, typically around 60 cents per pound. While it's the most affordable option, it may not fully cover the value of your items.
• Full-Value Protection: This option offers more comprehensive coverage. If any of your belongings are lost or damaged during the move, the moving company is responsible for either repairing the item, replacing it with a similar one, or providing compensation for the item's current market value.

Understanding the Coverage:

Before selecting a moving insurance option, it's essential to understand what is and isn't covered. Basic coverage typically doesn't cover the full value of your belongings, so if you have high-value items, consider full-value protection. However, even with full-value protection, there may be specific exclusions, so it's important to review the policy carefully.

Preventative Measures:

To maximize the protection of your belongings during a move, take some preventative measures:

• Proper Packing: Ensure that your items are packed securely in appropriate boxes and containers.
• Inventory: Create an inventory list of your items, including their condition and value.
• Valuables: Carry valuable or irreplaceable items with you rather than packing them with the rest of your belongings.

Claims Process:

In the event of loss or damage, it's crucial to understand the claims process. Notify the moving company promptly, and they will guide you through the necessary steps to file a claim. Keep all relevant documents, including your inventory list, to support your claim.
