When planning a move, people often overlook insurance coverage until something breaks. Damage during a move can involve several parties, including your insurer and the moving company. Coverage depends on how, where, and when the damage occurs. Renters' and homeowners' insurance policies usually protect personal belongings.
They do not automatically cover repairs or replacement for items damaged by professional movers. Understanding where your policy’s responsibility ends and where a mover’s liability begins helps you avoid costly gaps in coverage during a move.

Disputes with moving companies are on the rise. Read this guide before hiring a company for your move.
Common Disputes with Movers
To ensure safety, there are items that professional movers will not move if they are not adequately packed. When you move, there are so many things you have to pack, but there are things that you need to remember not to pack.
What Not To Pack
Local moving companies and labor helpers are not permitted to transport their customers' pets. So the best way to transport pets is in the car with you.
Moving With Pets
Most movers fall into two groups: small local companies and large national companies. Each option has advantages and drawbacks that affect cost, scheduling, and service consistency. The right choice depends on your move size, timing, and expectations. The checklist below compares the pros and cons of each option to help you decide.
Small Movers vs. Big Companies
If you are hiring local movers, check if your state requires a license for moving companies. If it does, verify that the company has one. To find this information, call or visit the DOT's website.
