Ensure the company you choose is licensed to handle your move.

- Moving company insurance: Each state has its own requirements for the level of insurance moving companies must carry. Released Value Protection is the most economical option because it doesn’t cost anything. It is offered by movers at no additional charge, but the protection is minimal.
