Am I protected against loss or damage while my goods are in transit?

The protection you have depends on the valuation coverage you select, which determines the carrier’s liability for loss or damage. Valuation is not coverage – it is the liability of the moving company. Check with your homeowner’s insurance to see if you’re covered for moving.

Released Rate Liability: The carrier’s maximum liability is $0.60 per pound per article, regardless of value, in the event of loss or damages.

Increased Carrier Liability: The Carrier’s maximum liability is the lump-sum value declared on the shipment, only paid in the case of a total loss.

Please see Matco’s Protections Plans for more information.
