Move Valuation Options

Understanding Your Protection Choices

When planning a move, whether locally, long-distance, or internationally, one of the most critical aspects to consider is the protection of your belongings. At Campbell Moving & Storage, we offer various move valuation options to give you peace of mind during the transition. This service is about ensuring that in the unlikely event of damage or loss, you have the right coverage to protect your possessions. Understanding the differences between valuation coverage and traditional insurance, and the options available, is essential in making an informed decision for your move.

Released Value Protection

The most economical protection option is released value protection, which is included at no additional charge with every move. This basic level of coverage offers protection based on the weight of your items, compensating at a rate of 60 cents per pound per article. While this provides a measure of protection with minimal cost, it may not fully cover the replacement value of high-value items. It’s an option suitable for those who are moving items of lower value or who are comfortable with a basic level of coverage.

Full Value Protection

For those seeking a more comprehensive level of protection, full value protection is the preferred option. This coverage ensures that if any of your belongings are lost, damaged, or destroyed during the move, they will be repaired, replaced with similar items, or a cash settlement will be offered based on the current market replacement value, regardless of the item’s age. The cost of full value protection varies based on the total declared value of your belongings and the specific deductible level you select, providing a customizable approach to securing your possessions.

Assessing Your Coverage Needs

Choosing the right valuation option requires considering the total value of your possessions, your risk tolerance, and your budget. Assessing the individual worth of your items, especially those that are irreplaceable or hold significant sentimental value, is crucial. We recommend creating a detailed inventory of your belongings, documenting their current value, and discussing with your moving consultant the best coverage option that aligns with your needs. This proactive approach ensures that you’re adequately covered and can move with confidence, knowing your belongings are protected.

Third-Party Insurance Options

In addition to the valuation coverage offered by Campbell Moving & Storage, some clients opt for third-party insurance for an extra layer of protection. Third-party insurance can provide coverage beyond what moving companies offer, covering potential gaps and offering specific protection for high-value items like artwork, antiques, and electronics. If you have homeowner’s insurance, it’s also beneficial to check with your provider to see if your policy covers items during a move, which could complement the valuation coverage you select.
