Florida household moving bonds.
$500 flat.
Florida movers must carry per-shipment liability insurance — but a mover operating two or fewer vehicles may instead post a $50,000 performance bond with FDACS under Chapter 507, F.S. Ours is $500 flat — the price you see is the checkout price — and the application collects no credit information.

What it is and who needs it.
What the mover performance bond actually guarantees
Florida regulates household goods movers under the Household Moving Services law, Chapter 507, F.S., administered by the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS). The default requirement is per-shipment liability insurance of at least $10,000 for loss or damage to household goods.
A mover that operates two or fewer vehicles may, in lieu of that liability insurance, maintain a $50,000 performance bond. The bond runs to FDACS for the use and benefit of any consumer injured by the mover’s fraud, misrepresentation, breach of contract, misfeasance, malfeasance, financial failure, or any violation of Chapter 507.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a consumer claim, you repay the surety. Movers who handle shipments honestly and keep good records treat the bond as a compliance formality. We track it and notify you 60 and 30 days before it expires.
