Why It Matters

Choosing a licensed and insured mover protects you from:

  • Scams and broker bait-and-switches

  • Untrained or unvetted labor

  • Hidden fees or surprise charges

  • Property damage without recourse

Many companies advertise long-distance services but don’t actually have the federal authority to do so. Instead, they broker your move to a random subcontractor — usually the lowest bidder. With Reliable Movers, you know exactly who’s showing up: our trained, background-checked crew members who have been with us for years.

Our Insurance Coverage

By law, all licensed moving companies must include a minimum of $0.60 per pound per item in basic coverage. We include this by default on every move.

We also offer Full-Value Protection options upon request. This provides added security and peace of mind for high-value items or specialty moves.

If you're unsure about what level of protection you need, we’re happy to explain the options during your free estimate.

Transparency. Experience. Accountability.

We've been moving Central New York since 1996. Our reputation is built on doing things the right way — no shortcuts, no bait-and-switches, no fine print. When you hire Reliable Movers, you're hiring a company that stands behind its name and its license.
