Do You Need Additional Insurance?

Monday June 29, 2009

Insurance FileWhen it comes to hiring a moving company, one of the biggest decisions you'll make is whether you need to purchase extra insurance.

Most companies offer "valuation" rather than insurance at no additional cost; however, this may not be enough to cover the true value of your goods should they be damaged in transit. Before you purchase additional insurance, find out how much you'll need or if it's worth the extra cost. A great place to start your assessment of your goods is to conduct a household inventory.
