Insurance


At Saskatoon Movers our workers, our managers and our entire staff do everything in their power to make sure that no damages will occur. Unfortunately with all the preparation and safeguarding available, accidents still can happen. That is why we have insurance options available to protect the safety of your belongings.

There are several insurance options available if your valuables are estimated under $50,000. If your possessions are valued above $50,000 and consist of valuable items such as electronics, pianos and artwork, or if you have an individual item valued at more than $5,000, please ask your Project Manager know.

Standard Valuation Coverage
This coverage is provided by Saskatoon Movers at no cost to you. In the event of an accident, you will be entitled to $.60 per pound per article. This ordinarily does not provide enough protection for your possessions. If you are interested in upgrading the available insurance please contact your project manager and he or she will provide you with an accurate insurance estimate based on the value of your belongings.

Full Replacement Value Insurance
Two insurance companies that offer full replacement value moving insurance are Moving Insurance.com and Baker International. Full replacement coverage has a much more inclusive coverage than regular standard valuation insurance, and generally offers more options regarding deductible levels and the amount of coverage. If your possessions are valued above $50,000 and consist of valuable items such as electronics, pianos and artwork, or if you have an individual item valued at more than $5,000, please ask you Project Manager about full replacement value insurance or contact one of the companies above.

Certificate of Insurance
Saskatoon Movers maintains in excess of one million dollars worth of General Liability insurance, as well as required Disability and Worker's Compensation insurance coverage. Nearly every commercial office requires some form of insurance certificate prior to any work being performed. Please contact us to discuss what insurance may be needed. Any insurance claim to Saskatoon Movers regarding possessions or damages to the home will have a $100 deductible. Deductibles and coverage will vary depending on the type of optional insurance that is chosen. Keep in mind that most homes have insurance that covers your belongings already, please contact your insurance agent to see what coverage you already have in place.

Protection Plans

You should always contact your home insurance agent before moving, and ask if your existing policy covers "Goods in Transit". Saskatoon Movers is not an insurance agent. Our Protection Plans are designed to compliment, not replace, your existing coverage.

Our standard valuation coverage is included with every move we do.  It is incorporated into the price of your move, and covers you from the moment we arrive at your home, until the moment the truck pulls away from your new residence.

The standard valuation coverage covers your goods for a maximum of

$0.60 per pound per item.

For example, a 100 lb dresser would be covered for up to $60.00.  Obviously, this would not replace a new dresser, but it would easily cover any scratch or dent repair required. Our Extra Protection Plans offer additional protection for your household goods.  You may purchase Increased Valuation at any time before your move commences.

Increased Valuation is based on the Declared Value of your shipment.  Declared Value is the total combined value of all the goods in your shipment.

The cost of Increased Valuation is $60.00 per $10,000.00 Declared Value.  There is a minimum purchase of $10,000 Declared Value, and a maximum purchase of $5.00 per pound liability or $50,000 Declared Value, whichever is less.

For example, if your shipment has been estimated at 5000 lbs, then the maximum Declared Value of your shipment would be $25,000 (5000 lbs x $5.00 /lb).  The charge for $25,000 Declared Value at $5.00 per pound would be

$150.00 ($25,000 / $10,000 = 2.5, 2.5 x $60.00 = $150.00). If an item was damaged it could be repaired, replaced or paid out based on $5 per pound/item. 100lb item could pay up to $500.

Another example, if your shipment has been estimated at 5000 lbs, then if you wished you could declare the value at $2 per pound. (5000 lbs x $2.00 /lb).  The charge for $10,000 Declared Value at $2.00 per pound would be

$60.00 ($10,000 / $10,000 = 1, 1 x $60.00 = $60.00). If an item was damaged it could be repaired, replaced or paid out based on $2 per pound/item. 100lb item could pay up to $200.

If you wish you can choose the value of the payout at $1, $2, $3, $4 or $5 depending on the amount of weight you are moving.

Our Protection plans are not full replacement insurance.  Your goods are covered based on their age and condition when we arrive at your home. We have the option of repairing or replacement value.

If our Claims Adjustor determines that replacement is in order, a 5 year-old television will be replaced with a 5 year-old television or equivalent value. The maximum liability of Saskatoon Movers cannot exceed $5.00 per pound.

Please check with your home insurance agent, or speak with one of our Customer Service Agents about Third Party Insurance if you need coverage above and beyond our maximum.

  • Unpackaged Glass.

    • Glass must be pre-packaged by a Saskatoon Movers agent to be fully covered.


Special Considerations

In order for your shipment to be fully covered either you or an agent approved by you MUST be present at both pick-up and delivery. It is usually not necessary to remain for the entire process. You must inform the driver of the moving van if you will be leaving before the pick-up or delivery is completed.

If your shipment will be delivering into Saskatoon Movers storage for more than 60 days, it is very important that you or an agent approved by you is present during unloading.

By signing the completed bill, you are confirming that all listed goods
have been received in apparent good order.

If for any reason you are unable to take delivery of your goods at the scheduled delivery time, then your shipment will be held at your own risk.

Articles of Extraordinary Value must be declared to us before shipping
and specifically agreed to in writing on both the invoice and the inventory.

WE DO NOT TRANSPORT EXPLOSIVES OR
DANGEROUS OR HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.

This includes but is not limited to; propane tanks, gasoline, diesel, oil, paint, flammable solvents, aerosols, ammunition, commercial explosives, fireworks, and all materials classified as a biohazard.

If you ship any of these goods without our knowledge, you immediately void any and all liability by our company for all damages, and you will be held responsible for any damages, fines, warehousing costs, and delays incurred by our company resulting from the transport of these materials.

For more information on Dangerous Goods, visit the Transport Canada website.



DELAYS IN SERVICE

At or before the time of loading, you will be provided with a date or time period in which your goods will be delivered.

Subject to circumstances beyond our control, if we do not deliver within the specified time period, we will be liable only for reasonable food and lodging expenses incurred by you and your family.

You will be required to produce receipts before compensation.

If for any reason you are unable to take delivery of your goods at the scheduled delivery time, you may be held liable for storage and handling charges.



SUBMITTING A CLAIM

The claims process follows a few simple steps;

  1. In order to begin a claim, you must provide written notice (letter, fax or e-mail) of your claim within 45 days of completing your move. Claims submitted by telephone will not be processed.

Claim notices must include; date of shipment, customer name, origin of shipment, destination of shipment, and particulars of claim.

The Adjustor will need to examine the move paperwork, speak with the crew or crews involved in your move, determine fault and responsibility, confirm any price estimates you have submitted, and contact repair companies as necessary.
  2. You will be contacted as soon as the Claims Adjustor has reached a decision on your claim.
