COI Three Little Letters That Open Doors (literally)
Thinking about insurance may not be all that exciting, but a Certificate of Insurance (COI) is a necessary requirement that opens doors, really. Many buildings won’t allow movers to set foot on their premises if they’ve not received a moving COI far in advance of the move. Here are some helpful things to know about the COI.
What is a certificate of insurance anyway?
A COI is almost ALWAYS a necessity. Many buildings will not allow a mover through the door without a COI in place – on no uncertain terms, a COI is a “must-have” for moving. It protects building and property owners from damages, accidents, injuries, and similar mishaps that might happen during a move. The Certificate of Insurance provides several different types of coverage. With muuv, your COI will cover property damage and workers’ compensation.
Most COIs cover $1-2 million per move. Some buildings require much higher coverage, depending on the building you’re moving into. Find out what you need muvv has you covered for $10 million.

Plan Ahead For A Seamless Experience
Did you know some places require a COI just to reserve the elevator for a time slot to move? As they say in NYC if you don’t have a COI you can “fuggedaboutit.” Make sure you know the rules of your new building far in advance so you can be prepared and schedule your time on move day. The COI must be approved by the management or board in the building. Talk to your building management company about any other requirements for your movers.
