All interstate movers are required by federal law to offer Released Value Protection and Full Value Protection to customers. The cost of Full Value Protection varies by mover, so be sure to ask your moving company for details. The most basic level of liability, Released Value Protection, is automatically included in the cost of your move. This basic protection covers 60 cents per pound per item. While this type of coverage won't cost you anything extra, it is considered the bare minimum. Those looking for more comprehensive coverage should opt for Full Value Protection. This level of liability means that if the mover damages or loses a belonging, the mover must either replace your item or reimburse you for its current cash value.
