Valuation

Get More Peace of Mind During Your Move

In addition to state-of-the-art packing materials and practices, Can't Stop Moving protects your move by looking out for your possessions in transit or storage with valuation coverage. This is a predetermined amount of liability that a mover has for your property during the move. 

TYPES OF COVERAGE AVAILABLE TO YOU

Released Value Protection  

Basic coverage will be the same with any licensed mover and covers $.60/lb for any damage done. Additionally, there are two additional levels of valuation coverage we can offer. Both cover repair or replacement of any damaged items. The way this valuation works is that you would declare a value for your belongings being moved.

Option 2

With a $300 deductible the cost would be $1.15 per $100 of declared value.

(Note: In the state of Washington option 2 is the default level of coverage, and is included in our estimates. If you would like to decline additional coverage, or select option 3, please reach out to someone on our team prior to your move).

Option 3

If you choose a $0 deductible, it would be $1.40 per $100 of declared value.

​

To determine cost of coverage, multiply the value of your items by .0115 for Option 2, or .0140 for Option 3.

​

Tariff 15-C, Item 90 requires carriers to assume liability based on the level of valuation protection selected by the customer and either the customer-declared value or five times the net weight of the shipment, whichever is higher. The valuation covers the entire shipment.

​

One thing to note is that if you decline to take out valuation coverage for the total amount of worth, we can only compensate you for the percentage of value you obtained. For example, if your items are valued at $100,000, and you only take out $25,000 worth of insurance, you would only be covered for 25% of any damage/replacement cost. 

​

We do strongly recommend if you’d like additional coverage to take it out in the full amount of your declared value.
