Double Drive Time is a California rule, not a fee we invented. For hourly moves within California, movers are required to bill the driving time between your old address and your new one at twice the actual drive time, charged at the same hourly rate as the rest of the move. The rule is set in Maximum Rate Tariff 4, the state rate schedule every licensed California household mover must pass an exam on.
Your bill has four possible components: the hourly rate for your crew size, a one-time $50 fuel charge, Double Drive Time, and a surcharge if any single item is over 250 lbs. Nothing else. Every one of these is quoted before you book — see our full rates on the Like Deals page.
Almost all moving companies have the usual type of insurance that covers $0.6 per pound of damaged item. However, you can purchase insurance on your own that covers the entire amount for damaged stuff. To do this, follow the link: Movinginsurance.com
