Do moving companies in Florida need general liability insurance?
It's rarely required by state law, but in practice most moving companies can't work without it: general contractors, landlords, property managers, and venues almost always require a certificate showing $1M/$2M, additional insured for building management before you set foot on the job.
What does GL cover for a mover?
It covers third-party bodily injury, third-party property damage, and products/completed-operations claims. For example: you damage a floor, wall, or elevator during a move. It does not cover your own tools or vehicles, or employee injuries — those are covered by inland marine, commercial auto, and workers' comp.
How fast can a mover get a Certificate of Insurance?
Once coverage is bound, we issue a COI naming the specific GC, landlord, or venue that's requiring it. If your operation needs a specialist, an Arace agent turns certificates around quickly.
Is a certificate of insurance the same as being insured?
No — a COI is proof of an active policy, not the coverage itself. You need a bound GL policy first; then we issue certificates (including additional-insured endorsements) to whoever your contract requires.
