3. Insurance and Valuation Coverage
Air 1 Moving & Storage is committed to providing basic protection for your belongings as required by law. Below are the details of our coverage options and related responsibilities.
Basic Coverage
- Your items will be covered under basic valuation coverage at $0.60 per pound per article, as required by the Department of Transportation (DOT) for California.
- This coverage is provided free of charge and is applicable to all items moved by Air 1 Moving & Storage.
Optional Declared Value Protection
- For enhanced protection, customers have the option to purchase Declared Value Protection through a third-party insurance provider (e.g., movinginsurance.com).
- This additional coverage is not provided by Air 1 Moving & Storage and must be purchased at least 48 hours prior to your move.
- Declared Value Protection cannot be added or modified on the day of the move or after the move is completed.
Responsibility for Additional Insurance
- It is the customer's responsibility to purchase additional insurance, especially for high-value items.
- Air 1 Moving & Storage strongly recommends that customers secure third-party insurance for any items of significant value, as basic coverage may not fully compensate for damages or losses.
Special Packing Requirements
- For certain high-value or fragile items, custom crating may be required.
- Requests for wooden crates or specialized packing containers must be submitted at least three (3) business days prior to your move.
- Additional fees may apply if third-party insurance is purchased to ensure proper handling and packing materials for your belongings.
Pre-Existing Damage
- Air 1 Moving & Storage is not liable for damages or claims involving items that were already damaged or broken prior to the move.
- Movers may document pre-existing damage by photographing the items and noting their condition on the Bill of Lading at both the pickup and delivery locations.
- The customer must acknowledge and sign next to any noted damages. Refusal to do so will result in the inability to perform the move, and no refunds will be issued.
Coverage for Sets of Items
- If one item from a set of furniture is lost or damaged, reimbursement will be based on the specific item's value, as calculated by DOT valuation guidelines. The entire set's value will not be refunded.
Prohibition Against Double Filing Claims
- Filing insurance claims with both Air 1 Moving & Storage and a third-party insurance provider for the same item(s) is considered "double dipping" and is a felony under federal law.
- Customers must file claims for damages with only one insurance provider: either Air 1's basic valuation or the third-party insurance.
- In cases of double filing, Air 1 Moving & Storage will provide evidence of the duplicate claim to the third-party insurance provider. Customers must resolve the issue with both parties and cancel one of the claims.
Key Notes for Claims
- Customers are responsible for ensuring additional insurance is purchased at least 48 hours before their move.
- Claims related to pre-existing damages or self-packed items will be handled under basic valuation ($0.60 per pound per article).
- Air 1 Moving & Storage reserves the right to charge additional fees for packing supplies or custom crating if third-party insurance has been purchased.
By understanding and adhering to these guidelines, you can ensure your items are adequately protected during your move.
