Licenses & insurance

Licensed, insured, and verifiable

California has strict rules about who can move households for hire. Here's what we carry, what we provide, and how you can verify any LA mover before you book.

What we carry

  • California household goods carrier license — issued by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). California requires every for-hire household mover to hold a Cal-T or MTR number.
  • Premises liability insurance — $1M to $3M coverage depending on the contract. Building managers and HOA boards can verify limits and named insureds directly with our carrier.
  • Cargo / valuation coverage — California-standard 60¢ per pound per article is included by default. Full-value protection upgrades are available for an additional cost; ask when booking.
  • Workers' compensation insurance — California-required for our crew. Your liability is limited if a mover is injured on your property.

To verify our specific license numbers and current insurance certificates: call (818) 884-6125 — we'll send the current documents directly. License numbers and policy details aren't published on the site so they can be issued fresh and dated to your inquiry.

Certificates of Insurance (COIs)

Many LA apartment buildings, condo HOAs, and commercial office buildings require a COI from your mover before they'll allow access on move day. The COI names the property as an additional insured for the date of the move, with specific liability limits (commonly $1M general liability).

We provide COIs at no charge. Send us the template from your property manager when you book and we'll have it filed at least a few business days before move day. Same-day filing is often possible if you're booking close to your date — call to confirm.

How to verify any California mover

Before you hire any moving company in California, do these checks:

  1. CPUC license lookup — search the CPUC household goods carrier database for the mover's Cal-T or MTR number. If they can't or won't give you one, walk away — operating without a license is illegal in California.
  2. Business Consumer Alliance — review the mover's complaint history at checkbca.org. Our BCA report.
  3. Insurance verification — ask for a current Certificate of Insurance. Real movers carry it; brokers and unlicensed operators often can't produce one.
  4. Written quote — California requires written estimates for moves of any size. If a mover refuses to put numbers in writing, that's a red flag.

What's not included by default

  • Full-value cargo protection — the default California valuation is 60¢/lb per article, which often won't cover the replacement value of expensive items. Ask us about upgraded valuation for a per-pound premium.
  • Specialty crating — large mirrors, glass tables, fine art, and unusual items may need custom crating. Quoted up front if needed.
  • Storage — we don't operate a warehouse for long-term storage. For short-term gap storage between move-out and move-in dates, we can recommend partners.
