Definition: By law moving companies must provide a minimum amount of free coverage, and refers to the amount of money you will receive per pound of damaged goods. Typical amount is 60 cents per pound. This coverage is a bare minimum and should not be relied upon to cover you for any significant damage. For example, if you have priceless crystal which weighs 2 pounds, you would be entitled to only $1.20 should the crystal be damaged during the move.
