Now you can have a worry-free move!

At Canadian Moving Lines, we understand how stressful it is to relocate. We help eliminate your stress by providing you with the appropriate insurance for your household goods. Our insurance options protect your goods for a single item damage or loss, or for a catastrophe occurrence. Now you can concentrate on your moving needs knowing that your goods are safe, secure and insured.

The average cost for a policy purchased on our site is less than 1.5% of the value of the goods.

We offer four main insurance types:

1. Full Service- All Risk (They Load and Drive)
2. Full Service- Named Perils (They Load and Drive)
3. Mobile Storage (You Load, They Drive)
4. Total Loss Only (All Move Types)

1. Full Service- All Risk (They Load and Drive)

This type of coverage applies to goods transported or stored by a full service moving company.
All Risk Insurance offers two options:

• Full Replacement Value - Valued Inventory
  This is the most comprehensive insurance option available and provides the best coverage. This insurance is offered for Interstate (moving from state to state), Intrastate (moving within the same state), and International shipments. For your benefit and for proper coverage, you must list and declare a replacement value on all of the items that you wish to insure. Items may be categorized as a group, such as "living room set, 7 pieces". However, please remember that in the event a claim is filed for any of the items in that category, the settlement amount may reflect the average value of the declared grouped items in that category.
• Full Replacement Value - Lump Sum
  This insurance is offered for Interstate shipments only (moving from state to state) and for International shipments. The total coverage amount is determined when you, the assured, place a lump sum value on all of your goods to be insured considering the declared value of the shipment equals no less than $6.00 times the weight of the shipment. Any items individually valued at $500 or more need to be listed separately in order to be covered at their specific replacement value.

Both options utilize the same Full Replacement Value coverage, refer to the same Terms and Conditions and are based on the same rates. To find out more about these options, click the More Details link relevant to each option.
The main difference is that with Full Replacement Value - Valued Inventory, you need to list each and every item that you are moving and need insurance for, and declare its replacement value. Items not listed under this option are not covered; however, to fully insure your shipment, you need to list all items being shipped. Full Replacement Value - Valued Inventory is offered for Interstate shipment (from one state to another), Intrastate (within the same state) and International shipments.
With Full Replacement Value - Lump Sum, you can simply declare a lump sum amount, reflecting the total coverage you desire for your shipment. With this option, you only list those items that are individually valued at $500 or higher. These items will be considered as part of the declared lump sum and not calculated as additional value, as long as the total value they are declared for is not higher than the total Replacement Value declared.

2. Full Service- Named Perils (They Load and Drive)

This type of coverage applies to goods transported or stored by a full service moving company.
Named Perils insurance covers only losses which result from causes explicitly listed in the Terms and Conditions. Coverage is available for both the transit period as well as the storage. Causes of loss for the transit and storage periods can be reviewed in the Terms and Conditions for this insurance type.
This insurance does not provide coverage to losses occurring at time of loading or unloading of the insured goods, whether done by the insureds or by any other party loading or unloading the goods, whether a professional or non professional entity. All insured goods must be in the care, custody, and control of, and handled by, an approved affiliate. Some exclusions and conditions apply to this coverage and these can be reviewed in the Terms and Conditions for this insurance type.
Named Perils Insurance offers two options:

• Named Perils - Selected Inventory
  Named Perils - Selected Inventory provides coverage based on an itemized and selected inventory prepared by the assured (the customer buying the insurance) prior to the shipment date. For your benefit and for proper coverage, you must list and declare a replacement value on all of the items that you wish to insure. This option is the most comprehensive and is the best coverage available, as it does not reduce the settlement amount for depreciation or a co-insurance penalty. This completed inventory could also act as a base for your Homeowners' or Renters' insurance policy at the new location.
• Named Perils - Total Value
  This option offers coverage if you are interested in insuring your entire shipment. The total coverage amount is determined when you, the assured, place a total value on all of your goods to be insured considering the declared value of the shipment. Any items individually valued at $500.00 (USD) or more need to be listed separately in order to be covered at their specific replacement value. To avoid being underinsured, it is required you declare the replacement value of your entire shipment. (More Details)

4. Total Loss Only (All Move Types)

The Total Loss Only (TLO) type of insurance is designed to protect your goods only against a catastrophe. A catastrophe would be considered as any occurrence such as fire, flood, truck accident, stolen truck, etc., resulting in total damage or total loss of the shipment. This type of insurance is called Total Loss Only, or TLO, and is defined as an insurance type that offers coverage compensating for damages or losses only in case of 100% damage or loss to the shipment. This insurance type will not compensate for any individual items damaged or lost.
Total Loss Only insurance is provided as a low cost alternative to the All Risk type of insurance. In addition, Total Loss Only can be purchased at any time before the movers begin packing your goods, while All Risk insurance must typically be purchased no later than two (2) days before the pack date. If you are loading or unloading the shipment yourself, or are not using a full-service moving company, TLO is the only type of insurance that we will be able to provide.
