A move brings not only excitement about a new home but often also stress, logistics, and a multitude of risks. Broken glass, water damage, or lost items are among the most common incidents during relocation. However, few people know: standard household contents or liability insurance policies often only partially cover moving-related damage – or not at all, especially when friends or acquaintances help with carrying.
To close exactly this gap, MOVU and Baloise have jointly developed the MOVEasy All-Risks Moving Insurance. As of now, customers booking a move via MOVU have the option to add comprehensive insurance coverage for all their belongings.
What is MOVEasy?
MOVEasy is an all-risks insurance policy designed specifically for relocations. Offered at a flat rate of CHF 200.–, it covers all transported items at replacement value. This means: in the event of damage, you don’t receive the depreciated value – as is common with many standard policies – but the full cost of replacing the item.
The insurance covers damage caused by:
- Falls, breakage, and moisture
- Accidents during lifting or transport
- Mishandling by third parties
It doesn’t matter whether the item is furniture, electronics, or other household goods – as long as it is part of an officially booked move via MOVU, it is fully covered.
Why MOVEasy is a Gamechanger
With MOVEasy, MOVU and Baloise are not just launching a new product – they are setting a new standard for worry-free moving in Switzerland. Until now, no provider has offered true all-risks coverage with replacement value reimbursement for private moves.
MOVU founder and CEO Laurent Decrue puts it clearly:
“There has never been better protection for moving in Switzerland.”
MOVEasy is also the first joint product following Baloise’s acquisition of MOVU – marking a milestone for both brands.
Who Benefits the Most?
- Private households with valuable furnishings: Replacement value coverage is especially beneficial for anyone moving expensive or fragile items.
- Families moving with children: With a high volume and many helping hands, the risk increases – MOVEasy provides financial peace of mind.
- People relying on professional support: The insurance applies exclusively to moves carried out entirely by professional moving companies – a clear quality guarantee.
Technical Implementation: Digital, Simple, Seamless
The Hamburg-based InsurTech startup KASKO was commissioned for the technical integration of the insurance package. The entire booking and insurance process has been designed to be simple, fast, and fully digital for MOVU customers – without added bureaucracy.
Additional Protection After the Move
The protection doesn’t stop at the end of the move: after relocating, customers can opt into additional insurance products tailored to their new living situation:
- Household contents (casco) insurance
A meaningful supplement to traditional household insurance – protecting the entire household against everyday damage or loss. - Smartphone insurance
Covers all smartphones in the household – regardless of device age or user.
These add-ons make MOVEasy more than just a moving insurance – they create a holistic insurance solution for the transition into a new home.
Move Without Worries
With MOVEasy, MOVU and Baloise offer a modern, transparent, and high-performance solution for anyone who wants to move safely and without stress. For just CHF 200.–, customers receive comprehensive all-around protection unlike anything previously available in Switzerland – including digital processing and optional add-ons at the new residence. If you’re moving today, you should still sleep well tomorrow. MOVEasy makes it possible.
