Interstate moving companies are required by law to offer basic released value protection, which provides minimum coverage of $0.60 per pound for your belongings.

For high-value belongings, you should consider purchasing full value protection or obtaining third-party insurance coverage, since basic protection typically provides substantially less than the actual replacement value of damaged items.

Professional movers will typically handle the disassembly and reassembly of standard furniture items such as beds, tables, and other common pieces.

Confirm that the moving company holds proper licensing and insurance. For interstate relocations, you can verify their registration through the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration database.
