Movers Choice Program
Brokers Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you turn around from quote to policy? Typically the broker receives a policy within days of binding
Will you issue certs or can we? Your office can issue certs after receiving a copy of the binder, but if there is any special wording we must approve the cert. Movers Choice handles all the filings.
Is this direct billed or financed? If financed do you use your finance carrier or do we use ours? Our office must and will provide the premium finance agreement upon quotation of the account Direct bill is offered on accounts of over $150K in premium.
Who notifies the Vanlines of coverage? The Movers Choice Program will provide the filing to the appropriate van line showing the required coverage needed for this account. This is not correct, the agent issues certs to the van line and specialized endorsements some from Movers Choice to broker to attach to their cert unless it is a van line that requires a direct special cert from Movers Choice (AKA Atlas)
