Valuation Options

Minimum Protection

If you prefer to bypass or minimize extra insurance expenses, Desert Moving Company & Storage offers a free basic valuation option, which provides coverage that is limited to a maximum of $0.60 per pound per item in the event of damage or loss. This can reduce the cost of your move, but it is always important to consider your unique needs and any high-value items when choosing valuation options. To receive our free basic valuation option, you must confirm this level of coverage in writing. However, to ensure ideal protection for your valuable household goods, we recommend investing in full value protection and optional additional insurance.

Full Value Protection

Unless you explicitly specify minimum protection or other arrangements in writing, Desert Moving Company & Storage assumes liability for your goods based on your purchase of full value protection. With this valuation option, items that are lost, damaged, or destroyed will, at Desert Moving’s option, be repaired or replaced with articles of like kind and quality, or a cash settlement will be made for the repairs or replacement of the articles at their current value, regardless of the age of the lost or damaged item. The minimum declared value of full value protection is $10,000 or $6.00 multiplied by the total weight of the shipment in pounds (whichever is greater).

Coverage for High-value Items

If you have items that exceed a value of $100 per pound weight or higher, please notify our agents and we can provide assistance in preparing a high-value inventory prior to packing your items so that you can be assured of receiving a proper level of moving coverage.
