Liability Protection

As is standard in the industry, Bay Area Movers offers basic liability protection for your belongings. This coverage is limited to 60 cents per pound per article at no cost to you. However, basic liability protection may not provide enough coverage in the unlikely event something is lost or damaged. You may decide upon full value protection, an affordable choice for peace of mind.

Whatever you choose, please don't hesitate to ask questions. We're working together on a great relocation for you, and we want you to understand your options and be confident in your decisions.

NON - COVERED ITEMS
•There are things that are NOT INSURED, even if you pay for the coverage. Below you find a list of items that will not be insured by either option.

1. Jewelry – It is best to pack it and move it yourself.

3. Coins or Stamp Collections – It is also best to move these items yourself.

4. Large mirrors or pictures that are not properly packed in a box or crated.
