Moving Insurance: Protect Your Belongings with the Right Coverage
Moving can be an exciting yet stressful experience. Ensuring your belongings are properly protected during the transition is a critical part of planning a move. While professional movers take every precaution to transport your items safely, accidents can happen. That’s where moving insurance comes in—providing peace of mind and financial protection in case of unexpected loss or damage.
At Zooz Moving, we believe in transparency and helping our customers understand their moving insurance options. This guide will walk you through types of moving insurance, what’s covered, and how to choose the best option for your needs.

What Is Moving Insurance?
Moving insurance is coverage that protects your personal belongings during a move. Whether you are moving locally within Tucson or across state lines, insurance ensures you are compensated for any loss or damage during transport.
While licensed moving companies provide some level of liability coverage, it’s important to understand what is included and what additional protection may be needed.
Types of Moving Insurance Coverage
There are different levels of moving insurance, depending on your needs, the value of your belongings, and whether you are moving locally or long-distance.
a) Released Value Protection (Basic Liability Coverage)
- Cost: Free (included with all moves)
- Coverage: 60 cents per pound per item
- Best For: Those with minimal valuables who are okay with limited protection
By federal law, licensed moving companies must offer this basic coverage. However, it may not fully compensate for high-value items like electronics, furniture, or antiques.
b) Full Value Protection (Comprehensive Coverage)
- Cost: Varies (based on declared value of items)
- Coverage: Reimburses repair, replacement, or cash value of damaged/lost items
- Best For: Homeowners with valuable furniture, electronics, and fragile items
With Full Value Protection, you declare the total worth of your belongings. If an item is damaged or lost, the moving company is responsible for repairing, replacing, or offering a cash settlement.
c) Third-Party Moving Insurance
- Cost: Based on policy terms (usually 1-2% of total value insured)
- Coverage: Customizable plans for total loss, partial damage, or high-value items
- Best For: Those needing additional protection beyond what movers provide
Independent insurance providers offer custom moving insurance plans that protect against theft, natural disasters, and accidental damage. This is especially recommended for long-distance and interstate moves.

Do You Need Moving Insurance?
The decision to purchase moving insurance depends on several factors:
- Are you moving valuable items? If you own expensive furniture, artwork, or electronics, consider additional protection.
- Are you moving long-distance? Long-distance and interstate moves carry a higher risk of loss or damage due to extended transport.
- Does your homeowner’s or renter’s insurance cover moving? Some policies already include moving coverage—check with your provider.
- Do you want peace of mind? If you’d rather avoid financial risk, investing in extra coverage can save you stress later.
If you are unsure, contact our team at Zooz Moving for expert guidance.
Moving Insurance vs. Homeowner’s Insurance
Many homeowners assume their existing insurance policy covers moving-related damage, but this is not always the case.
Key Differences:
- Homeowner’s insurance may only cover damage from specific events (fire, burglary, etc.), not breakage due to handling.
- Moving insurance directly covers damage during transit.
- Some policies may require a deductible, while moving insurance provides direct compensation.
Check with your homeowner’s or renter’s insurance provider before moving to see if your policy extends to relocation.
