What is International Van Lines's USDOT number and is its authority active?

The USDOT number of International Van Lines is 2293832. The registration status of International Van Lines is recorded as A. This reflects the federal record as of 2026-08-13.

Is International Van Lines licensed to move within Florida?

For a move that stays inside Florida, movers are authorised by Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, and the authorisation is called Household Moving Services Registration, issued as an Intrastate Mover (IM) number. The agency publishes no public lookup and no recorded phone or email for verifying an individual mover. We have not verified International Van Lines's Florida 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.

What is International Van Lines's USDOT number?

International Van Lines carries USDOT number 2293832 and docket number MC-796971 on the FMCSA company census file. The registered legal name is INTERNATIONAL VAN LINES INC. The filed physical address is 3957 NW 126th Ave, Coral Springs, FL 33065. The census entity status for International Van Lines is active. The registration covers interstate operations. The census records the operation classification for International Van Lines as authorized for hire.

Is International Van Lines registered to carry household goods?

International 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.

How big is International Van Lines's fleet?

International Van Lines reports 24 power units and 15 drivers on its federal registration. Power units count trucks, tractors and other self-powered vehicles the company operates, not trailers. International Van Lines last updated that federal registration on March 6, 2025, so the counts describe the fleet as filed on that date rather than today.

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

International Van Lines holds motor carrier authority on its federal licensing record and does not hold property broker authority. Carrier authority means International Van Lines is licensed to perform moves with its own trucks and crews rather than arrange them through another company. The crew that arrives on moving day works under this authority, and International Van Lines carries the federal liability for the shipment. The licensing record for International Van Lines shows household goods authority, and no property authority, no broker authority, no passenger authority.

Is International Van Lines authorised to move household goods?

International 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 International 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 International Van Lines to move a household across state lines lawfully.

What are International Van Lines's out-of-service rates?

International Van Lines has a vehicle out-of-service rate of 33.3%, against a national average of 23.4%. International Van Lines has a driver out-of-service rate of 11.1%, against a national average of 6.7%. Both figures are read from the federal record as of March 18, 2026. An out-of-service rate is the share of roadside inspections that ended with a vehicle or a driver being placed out of service. These are roadside inspection results, not a service quality score, and they describe the inspections in the federal window rather than any individual move.

Has International Van Lines had a federal compliance review?

International Van Lines has a federal compliance review recorded on July 10, 2025. The federal record marks that review as non-ratable, which means it did not result in a safety rating. A non-ratable review is neither a pass nor a failure: it records that the review took place and that no rating was assigned from it, so International Van Lines carries no federal safety rating from this review.

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.

International Van Lines in one paragraph

International Van Lines has been operating since 2000 (about 26 years), runs out of Coral Springs, FL, and covers all 50 states. Current FMCSA filing shows USDOT 2293832 and MC 796971. International Van Lines services overseas destinations in addition to US interstate work. What it is licensed to do federally is set out in the federal record on this page rather than described here.

Estimated cost of a move with this carrier

This is an estimated quote range, not a record of prices paid. For a 2-bedroom interstate move, International Van Lines quotes generally land in the $2,700–$6,400 range, with the midpoint of that estimated range near $4,550. The low end of that range usually applies to off-season runs under 1,000 miles with self-packing; the high end shows up on full-service summer moves over 2,000 miles.

Local hourly pricing through International Van Lines is not published by the company and we hold no rate card for it. Our national editorial estimate for a two-mover crew and a truck on a local move is $105 to $155 an hour, May 2026, and it is a model figure rather than a quote from this carrier. Ask whether travel time, fuel surcharge, and stair fees sit inside or outside the hourly number, because that is where two apparently identical quotes diverge.

Where this carrier may fit

Long-distance and overseas moves. That is an editorial view of fit, not a measured performance result: we hold no complaint-rate, claims-outcome or satisfaction dataset for International Van Lines. Three things make any move with this company more predictable, whatever the carrier: an inventory list locked in two or more weeks ahead, a binding not-to-exceed estimate in writing, and a destination ZIP the company services directly rather than through a subcontracted agent.

How to work around the main trade-off

The trade-off summarised at the top of this page is the one that most often costs readers money with International Van Lines. Two questions defuse it at quote stage: ask for the specific line items that drive the number up on your move profile, and ask whether the crew at your origin is employed directly or subcontracted to a local agent.

Then price the same inventory with one alternative below. A second quote on identical inventory is the only reliable way to tell whether the premium buys you anything on your particular lane.

Booking process, step by step

  • Request a quote with a complete inventory list. Online forms are fine for a first pass; a video survey is what makes a binding number stick.
  • Insist on binding-not-to-exceed in writing. Federal rules let a carrier collect up to 110% of a non-binding estimate at delivery, with the balance billed later; a binding not-to-exceed estimate removes that exposure.
  • Confirm valuation coverage. Released value (the federal default) pays $0.60 per pound. Full-value protection costs more but actually replaces a damaged TV.
  • Confirm pickup and delivery windows. For interstate jobs the delivery window is a range, not a date — plan accordingly.
  • On move day, walk the truck and check the inventory list before signing the Bill of Lading. Note any pre-existing damage on the form.

What this page does and does not say

We publish no numeric score, star rating or ranked order for International Van Lines, and we recommend no company over another. What this page carries is the federal registration record above and the sourced facts beside it. Read those, then price the same written inventory with one alternative before you sign.
