An important question to have answered before you select a mover is whether or not they are insured. Many moving companies today do not operate with the standard liability insurance required by Texas state law. Obviously accidents do happen, and because of this it is important that your mover carries the appropriate insurance for your moving needs. You can rest assured that Big Brothers Moving has got you covered to Texas State Regulations!

There are three options that we usually recommend to anybody that we move and they are listed below, make sure that you make arrangements at least 48 hours in advance if you choose to use Option 2 below.

Option 1 – This option is the protection that we provide for you, and is standard for the moving industry. This coverage protects you up to 0.60 cents per pound per article. Generally this will pay for the cost of repairing damaged items, but not for the full cost of replacing them. Obviously there may be items that are not completely covered using this option. Big Brothers Dallas Movers does have a very low claim rate but we still recommend that additional insurance is purchased for items that cannot be protected with our standard liability coverage, this coverage would only be necessary to protect the additional items that would need that extra coverage, or if possible you could move those items using your own vehicle. Option 2 describes how you can purchase additional insurance for those items.

Option 2 - You can use an independent Insurance Agency to cover your most valued assets, or you can purchase enough coverage to fully cover all of your items. If you would like to purchase additional insurance to include full coverage for all items, we recommend using www.movinginsurance.com for additional Cargo Insurance at 1-888-893-8835. Insurance coverage can be purchase entirely through there website. Movinginsurance.com is independent of Big Brothers Movers.

Option 3 - Check with your current homeowners insurance. They may already provide coverage for your move. Please check your insurance policy to see if this coverage is already provided to you, and avoid purchasing insurance that you don’t need.
