Why Licensing & Insurance Matter

Choosing a licensed and insured mover helps protect you, your home, and your belongings throughout the moving process.

Scams & Broker Bait-and-Switches
Untrained or Unvetted Labor
Hidden Fees or Surprise Charges
Property Damage Without Recourse

Some companies advertise long-distance moving services but do not actually transport your belongings themselves. Instead, the move may be brokered or transferred to another carrier. With Reliable Movers, you know who is handling your move — our own experienced, long-term crew and company-operated moving equipment.

Our Moving Insurance Coverage

Licensed moving companies provide basic valuation coverage of $0.60 per pound per item. Reliable Movers includes this basic protection with every move.

We also offer Full-Value Protection options upon request. This can provide additional protection for customers who would like a higher level of coverage for their household goods, specialty items, or higher-value belongings.

If you are unsure which level of protection is right for your move, our office can explain the available options during your estimate.

Transparency. Experience. Accountability.

Reliable Movers has been serving Central New York since 1996. Our reputation is built on doing things the right way — straightforward pricing, properly licensed moving services, experienced crews, and clear communication from the first estimate through delivery.
