Most managed buildings in Austin will not let movers in without a certificate of insurance naming the property. We issue COIs fast, to your building's exact requirements, so a missing document never turns into a cancelled move day. It comes standard with our moves, at no extra cost. Send us the building's requirements and the certificate is handled before the truck rolls.
Certificates of insurance issued to your property's exact wording, usually within a business day, at no extra cost.
The One Document That Can Cancel a Move
A certificate of insurance, or COI, is the document a building requires to prove your movers carry the right coverage before they are allowed in. Most managed residential towers, commercial buildings, and offices in Austin require one naming the property as certificate holder, with specific coverage amounts and exact wording. The problem is that people learn about the requirement late, and a move with no COI on file is a move the building turns away at the dock. Royal Moving & Storage handles this as routine. From the downtown towers on Rainey to the mid-rises in the Domain and Mueller, Austin's managed buildings almost all require one, and they enforce it at the dock.
When you book with us, we issue the certificate to your building's exact requirements, usually within a business day, listing the property as certificate holder and additional insured as needed, with the coverage amounts they specify. Because Royal Moving & Storage already carries full cargo and liability coverage and operates under Texas DOT #010072391C, we can produce the document quickly and to spec. There is no extra charge; it is simply part of doing the move right, at both your origin and destination buildings. If a building has unusual wording or higher coverage limits, we match it, because a certificate that does not meet spec is as good as none.
Six things that keep a building from turning the crew away.
Issued to Exact Spec
The certificate is produced to your building's precise wording and coverage requirements, not a generic template. Buildings reject generic certificates, so we issue to the exact wording and limits they specify.
Fast Turnaround
Usually issued within a business day of getting the building's requirements, faster when the date is tight.
Named Holder and Additional Insured
The property listed as certificate holder, and as additional insured where the building requires it.
Both Buildings Covered
Certificates issued for the origin and the destination, since both often require one. Since many moves involve a managed building at both ends, we issue a certificate for each.
No Extra Charge
The COI comes standard with our moves; we do not nickel-and-dime a required document.
Backed by Real Coverage
We carry full cargo and liability coverage under Texas DOT #010072391C, so the certificate reflects real insurance.
We issue certificates for buildings across the metro, from downtown Austin and Rainey Street towers to the Domain, Mueller, and managed buildings throughout the area. High-rises, office towers, and managed apartment buildings across the metro all get certificates to their exact requirements.
A COI is a document proving your movers carry the required insurance, which most managed buildings in Austin require before allowing a move. It names the building and lists the coverage amounts they specify.
2. How fast can you issue a COI?
Usually within one business day of receiving the building’s requirements, and faster when a date is tight. Send us the requirements when you book and we will start it right away. Getting the requirements to us when you book is the surest way to avoid a dock-day problem.
3. Does it cost extra?
No. The certificate of insurance comes standard with our moves at no additional charge. We treat it as part of doing the move properly, not an upcharge.
4. Can you name the building as additional insured?
Yes. We list the property as certificate holder and as additional insured where the building requires it, to their exact specifications. Listing the property as additional insured, where required, is part of issuing it to spec.
5. Do I need a COI for both buildings?
Often yes. Many moves involve a managed building at both the origin and the destination, and we issue certificates for both.
6. What coverage do you carry?
Royal Moving & Storage carries full cargo and liability coverage and operates under Texas DOT #010072391C, so the certificate reflects real, current insurance.
