Moving Insurance in Los Angeles — Protect Your Belongings

Protect What Matters Most During Your Move

No matter how careful your movers are, accidents can happen. iBox Moving offers coverage options to give you peace of mind while your belongings are in transit.

Basic Coverage — Included with Every Move

Every iBox Moving job comes with basic valuation protection, as required by law. This covers items at $0.60 per pound per item — but may not reflect their actual value.

Need More Protection? Choose Full Value Coverage

If you want full reimbursement or repair in case of damage, we recommend purchasing Full Value Protection. This option covers the current market value of your items, not just weight.

What’s Covered

  • Furniture and large items
  • Appliances and electronics
  • Fragile items (if packed by us)
  • Loading/unloading incidents

What’s Not Covered

  • Boxes packed by customer
  • High-value items not declared in advance
  • Natural disasters or unforeseen events

Tips for Coverage

Make an inventory before your move. Take photos of valuable items. And if you're moving expensive or fragile goods, talk to us in advance to ensure proper packing and documentation.

Why Trust iBox Moving?

We’re fully licensed and insured, with an excellent safety record. But for total peace of mind, our team will guide you through the best insurance option for your situation.

How to Pack for a Move – Smart Tips from iBox Moving

Packing is one of the most important parts of any move — and doing it right can save time, money, and stress. At iBox Moving, we’ve helped thousands of families and businesses pack efficiently and safely. Here’s how to do it like a pro.

1. Start Early and Stay Organized

Begin packing at least 2–3 weeks before your move. Label boxes clearly with room names and contents. Keep similar items together and avoid mixing rooms in one box.

2. Use High-Quality Supplies

Invest in sturdy boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, and strong tape. Avoid grocery store boxes — they’re often too weak or dirty. Ask us if you need supplies — we’ve got plenty.

3. Pack Room-by-Room

Start with rooms you use the least, like guest bedrooms or storage areas. Save daily essentials for last and keep a “first-night box” with things like toiletries, chargers, and snacks.

4. Protect Fragile Items

Wrap glassware, dishes, and electronics with care. Use bubble wrap, towels, or clothes as cushioning. Clearly mark boxes with fragile items.

5. Don’t Overpack

Keep box weight under 50 lbs whenever possible. Heavy items like books should go in smaller boxes; lighter items like bedding can go in large ones.

FAQ

What About Insurance answered by iBox Moving experts

What About Moving Insurance? – FAQ by iBox Moving

What About Insurance? Is My Move Covered?

Yes — iBox Moving is a fully licensed and insured moving company. We provide basic coverage for all moves and also offer options for additional protection if needed.

What Insurance Is Included by Default?

All moves include standard valuation coverage as required by law. This is known as “Released Value Protection” and provides basic reimbursement based on weight — typically $0.60 per pound per item.

Can I Purchase Full Coverage?

Yes. If you want full replacement value coverage (to be reimbursed based on actual value), we can refer you to third-party insurance providers that specialize in moving protection. Just let us know before your move.

Does My Homeowners or Renters Insurance Cover My Move?

In some cases, yes. Some policies cover personal property during a move — but you’ll need to check with your provider. We’re happy to provide documentation or answer any questions your insurer has.

Do You Ever Damage Items?

Our crews are trained to move carefully, and we handle items with professional equipment and padding. Accidents are rare — but if something happens, we’ll guide you through the claims process right away.

What If I Don’t Want to Take Any Risks?

We recommend purchasing additional insurance if you're moving high-value items like art, electronics, antiques, or instruments. It’s a small cost for peace of mind.

Still Have Questions About Insurance?

Contact our office and we’ll explain exactly what’s covered, what your options are, and how to protect your belongings with confidence.
