North American Moving doesn’t provide online quotes, but they will send a representative to your home to provide a free estimate of the moving expenses. ConsumerAffairs estimates moving a two-bedroom home 700 miles in the summer would cost about $5,000, or a smaller move locally would cost a minimum of $600. They note that add-on services can increase these estimates. North American Moving may provide different levels of valuation coverage for goods that are lost or damaged in transit. The actual insurance or coverage available to you during the move will depend on the moving company that’s contracted through North American. Your homeowner’s insurance may also provide some coverage for your personal belongings during the move.
