Allied Van Lines review (2026)

Is Allied Van Lines licensed to move within Indiana?

For a move that stays inside Indiana, movers are authorised by Indiana Department of Revenue, Motor Carrier Services, and the authorisation is called Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. The agency publishes no public lookup; it verifies authorisation by phone on 317-615-7200, option 3 then option 1 for passenger and household goods. We have not verified Allied Van Lines's Indiana authorisation, and nothing here says it lacks one. Holding federal interstate authority is a separate thing from holding state authorisation for a move that starts and ends inside one state.

Is Allied Van Lines registered to carry household goods?

Allied Van Lines lists household goods among the cargo classifications on its federal census record, alongside no other class. A cargo classification records what the company registered on its MCS-150 form. It is not the same thing as active household goods operating authority, which is held on a separate federal licensing and insurance record and has to be checked there.

Is Allied Van Lines a carrier, a broker, or both?

Allied Van Lines holds both motor carrier authority and property broker authority on its federal licensing record. Carrier authority means Allied Van Lines can operate the trucks and crews that perform a move itself. Broker authority means Allied Van Lines can also arrange a move that another licensed company performs. On any given job, ask which of the two applies before you sign, because it decides whose crew arrives on moving day and who is liable for your goods. The licensing record grants Allied Van Lines motor carrier of property (except household goods) from March 5, 2008. The licensing record grants Allied Van Lines freight forwarder of property (except household goods) from June 17, 2010. The licensing record grants Allied Van Lines broker of household goods from November 2, 2021. The licensing record for Allied Van Lines shows household goods authority, property authority, broker authority, and no passenger authority.

Is Allied Van Lines authorised to move household goods?

Allied Van Lines holds active operating authority covering household goods on its federal licensing record. This is a stronger statement than the cargo classification on the census registration, which only records that Allied Van Lines registered household goods as a cargo type. Authority is the licence to carry that freight for hire, and it has to be active for Allied Van Lines to move a household across state lines lawfully.

What insurance does Allied Van Lines have on file with the federal regulator?

Allied Van Lines has 3 insurance forms on its federal insurance record. The table below shows the most recent filing of each form, the amount written on that filing, and the insurer named on it. These are filings as submitted. The federal insurance file records no cancellation date, so nothing here states whether a filing is still in force, and the amount on a filing is not the cover that would apply to your shipment.

How much can a mover charge above a non-binding estimate?

On an interstate move priced with a non-binding estimate, a mover may require no more than 110% of the estimated charges before it will release your goods at delivery. That cap is set by 49 CFR 375.407, and it applies to the mover you hire regardless of what the final weight turns out to be. Anything owed above that amount is not payable on delivery day: the mover must bill you for it, and you have 30 days from delivery to pay it under 49 CFR 375.407.

What is a mover liable for if my belongings are damaged?

Every interstate mover must offer released value, the no-extra-charge level of liability set by 49 CFR 375.701. Under released value the mover owes 60 cents per pound per article, so a claim is settled on what a damaged item weighs rather than on what it is worth. A heavy item pays out more than a light expensive one. The alternative is full value protection, which a mover must also offer, costs extra, and settles at repair, replacement, or a cash equivalent. Released value applies by default if you sign nothing else.
