COI Services

Free certificates of insurance for any building, in 24 hours.

Most NYC, Boston, DC, San Francisco, and Miami buildings require a COI from your moving company before they will let the truck pull up. AmeriSafe issues COIs free of charge, typically within 24 hours of booking, with additional insureds added at both pickup and delivery addresses.

COI Services

COIs at no charge. Additional insureds at no charge.

Some movers charge $50–$150 per COI. Some charge per additional insured. Some require 5–7 business days to issue one. None of that with AmeriSafe. COIs are free, additional insureds are free, and we typically issue within 24 hours of booking.

Coverage meets or exceeds federal requirements, with certificate limits spelled out on every COI, and we have your buildings' management companies on file from previous moves. Tell us the name of the building and we usually have the COI template already.

Binding pricing

A binding estimate: one number, locked before move day.

Most moving-day horror stories start with a vague estimate that becomes a bigger bill at delivery. AmeriSafe quotes qualifying interstate moves as a binding estimate: every service itemized up front, the total locked in writing, and changes only by signed addendum. Your coordinator confirms in writing whether your route and inventory qualify.

Locked in writing before the truck rolls

  • Your binding estimate is a fixed total for the inventory and services listed, signed before move day
  • The agreed price at pickup cannot be changed at delivery
  • No weight-based "true-up" invoice, no fuel-surcharge escalation, no delivery-day renegotiation
  • Binding means binding — it is the FMCSA term, and when it is on your paperwork, it is enforceable

Every service itemized up front

  • Packing, custom crating, and specialty handling, quoted as line items you approve before booking
  • Building access, stairs, long carries, and shuttle trucks, surveyed and priced into the estimate
  • Storage-in-transit and redelivery, on the same estimate, not a surprise addendum
  • You see and approve every line before you sign. Nothing appears for the first time on the final bill.

Care standards on every move

  • Furniture wrapped in moving blankets; mattresses in plastic protection
  • Beds, tables, and standard furniture disassembled and reassembled
  • Floors, wall corners, hallways, and doorways protected at both homes
  • Photo-documented inventory at pickup and delivery

What can change the price (only you can)

  • Adding items that were not on your signed inventory
  • Adding services (packing, storage, specialty handling) after the estimate is signed
  • Changing the move date in a way that requires re-routing
  • Every change goes through a signed addendum, never a delivery-day surprise

COI Services, frequently asked questions

What is a COI and do I need one to move into my building?

A COI (certificate of insurance) is proof of your mover's liability coverage that most buildings in NYC, Boston, DC, San Francisco, and Miami require before the truck can pull up; in NYC, virtually every co-op and condo asks for one. Your building's management office will tell you their required limits; AmeriSafe handles the rest.

How much does a moving COI cost?

Nothing with AmeriSafe: COIs are free, additional insureds are free, and re-issuance is free if your move date changes. Some movers charge $50 to $150 per COI or bill per additional insured; AmeriSafe does neither.

How fast can a moving company issue a COI?

AmeriSafe typically issues COIs within 24 hours of booking, delivered as a PDF by email directly to your building managers. Many buildings' management companies are already on file from previous moves, so the correct template is often ready before you ask.

What insurance limits do movers carry for building COIs?

AmeriSafe's coverage meets or exceeds federal requirements, with cargo and workers' compensation coverage carried and the certificate limits spelled out on every COI your building receives. Higher limits are available on request for buildings with stricter requirements; just pass along your management company's specs and the certificate goes out to match.

Can both my old and new buildings be added to the same COI?

Yes, additional insureds are added for both the pickup and delivery buildings at no charge. Send AmeriSafe the building names and each management company's COI requirements, and separate certificates go out to each building manager directly.
