Insurance is not the same as valuation
Our policies protect against things like accidents and injuries. Coverage for your belongings is a separate matter called valuation. Every move includes basic valuation free of charge, the state standard of 60 cents per pound for each article. If you want your items protected at their full value, you can buy a full value policy through Baker International at bakerintl.com using our mover ID 17421; that policy is your own, purchased directly. Valuation is not insurance, and it helps to decide which level you want before move day rather than after.
