Relocating your household items involves a certain amount of risk. That is why you should always get a proper insurance policy when considering house relocation. Here is an overview of various types of insurance coverage for broad understanding:
 
* Full Replacement Value Coverage
Full value replacement coverage protects your household items. This means a replacement of the cost of the damaged items. There are times that a deduction is applied here. But any money can only be deducted if it is acknowledged in the contract signed with the moving company. Most policies need all loads covered, not just certain items.
 
* Standard Coverage
Moving companies are abiding by law to offer minimum amount of free coverage. This is the amount that the client receives per unit of measurement of the damaged goods. This doesn't pay much if something is considerably damaged.
 
* Storage Extension Coverage
In any case that a client's belongings have to be stored, this requires an extra insurance purchase. But if someone has already a moving insurance, this can usually be extended.
 
* Transit Insurance
Transit insurance covers the household goods whilst they are transported on the way from the old location to the new.
 
* Total Loss
This is a limited insurance for the household belongings that are lost for any reason.
 
You should always check the details of the insurance policy from time to time. Buying certain insurance is not enough to cover all conditions. You should always know how to file a moving insurance claim in order to pull through from the damage.
