Insurance, valuation coverage, and claims
Every Blue Crab move is covered by our active USDOT 4539918 cargo and general liability policies. Federal law (49 CFR 375) requires interstate movers to offer two valuation tiers. Here is how each works and which one we recommend for your inventory.
Released value protection (default)
Included at no extra cost. Covers 60 cents per pound per article. Adequate for routine apartment and small-home moves with no high-value items. Not enough for antiques, pianos, fine art, or anything you would file a real insurance claim over.
Full value protection (recommended for high-value inventories)
Premium coverage that pays repair, replacement, or current market value of any damaged or lost item. We recommend it for moves with antique furniture, original artwork, china cabinets, grand pianos, or anything irreplaceable. Cost depends on declared value of your shipment and is itemized on the binding quote, never tacked on later.
If something does get damaged
Notify us within 24 hours of delivery. Our office reviews the claim within one business day, sends a written acknowledgment, and resolves repair, replacement, or settlement within 30 days. No back-and-forth, no runaround. We document every load and every unload with photos so the claims record is complete from day one.
