5 Pro Tips to Cover Your Belongings While Moving

Moving all of your stuff from one place to another is one of the most tiring and time consuming tasks from

packing all the things to loading them into the transport vehicle and then to unloading and unpacking them,but

did you know you can protect your things and get insurance coverage for your property during transit? So, stop

worrying about safety with these 4 tips to cover your belongings while moving:

1. What Does Your Coverage Include

Do you know what is covered under your homeowner or renter’s agreement? Most of the time policy holders

assume that the property during transit is covered under these agreements but this is not always true. So, it is

beneficial to know what you are getting into before purchasing your insurance.

2. Get Additional Protections

You should get additional protection by getting trip transit insurance or social perils coverage. In

this way, if the moving truck is involved in an accident and your things get damaged, stolen or misplaced then

you will be covered.

Moreover, you can also get full value protection from your moving company as after this if the property is

damaged during the entire process of shifting the moving company will be held liable and would also be

responsible for replacing the value of the goods that were being moved.

3. Moving Everything Yourself Is Not a Smart Decision

If you are assuming that driving your own vehicle while moving will keep your things safe then you are

mistaken. It is better to look into truck rental companies or pickup trucks that offer additional coverage for the

safety of your belongings.

4. Adjust Your Policy When Needed

Before you move, it’ll be smart if you understand your coverage options. This will help you to check for any

gaps which can be rectified before you relocate.

5. Understand the terms and conditions of your insurance policy

If you have property insurance (Home-owner or renters insurance) or you have auto insurance then this does

not necessarily mean that your property will also be ensured during relocation. To avoid such a scene, discuss

your insurance options with your agent beforehand, let them know about your expectations and make sure that

you get quotations from different insurance agencies in order to get the best deal at the best price.
