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 written estimate starts with a defined shipment.

Confirm your estimate type and carrier before booking. A binding estimate covers the shipment and services it lists; additional requested services and qualifying access operations can affect charges. Use FMCSA's interstate estimating guidance and the carrier's written terms to compare your options. For a move within one state, check the applicable state rules.

Know what the estimate covers

  • Confirm whether the estimate is binding or non-binding and which carrier accepts it
  • For an interstate binding estimate, identify the shipment and services covered by the agreed charges
  • Ask about additional requested services and qualifying impracticable operations
  • Read the applicable carrier terms before loading; do not treat every later service as included

Compare the same scope

  • List packing, materials, unpacking and specialty handling as included or excluded
  • Describe stairs, elevators, loading access, carrying distance and proposed vehicle size
  • Itemize storage, warehouse handling and redelivery if needed
  • Resolve missing charges and exclusions in writing before choosing a provider

Document handling responsibilities

  • Ask who supplies furniture wrapping, mattress protection and packing materials
  • Identify furniture that needs disassembly and confirm who reassembles it
  • Agree on building and floor-protection requirements for both addresses
  • Keep an inventory and condition records, with an assessment for unusual or valuable items

Plan changes and delivery

  • Tell the carrier about inventory, service, date or access changes before loading
  • Ask how changes are documented and which additional-charge rules apply
  • Confirm accepted payment methods and pickup and delivery windows
  • Keep the estimate, shipping documents, valuation selection and update contact together

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.
