If you hire movers, do they cover 100% of the costs in the case of an accident? Hargraves says it depends if you're moving to a new state or relocating within a state.

The biggest life events often require extensive planning. This is especially true if you're planning on moving. One day you're wondering what to take and what to leave behind, and before you know it, all your items are packed and it's time to move on.

Amid the flurry of things to consider when you're moving, it's easy to forget how this will impact your insurance. You may have to drive to work now, which will directly affect your auto insurance. Your new home may have fewer exposures now that you've moved away from the coast, for example, and so your homeowners' insurance will now reflect that.

May is National Moving Month and there are many questions that will pop up if you're planning on moving soon. Jason Hargraves, managing editor at insuranceQuotes.com, shared some key insights on the subject.
