Relocation Insurance Group Celebrates Its 20th Anniversary
RIG pioneered online moving insurance and continues to revolutionize the industry.
Montclair, NJ, January 17, 2023: Relocation Insurance Group (RIG) is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2023. Gadi Binness, the President and CEO of RIG, founded the company in 2003 after noticing the complete lack of online moving insurance options. With a background in the moving industry, Binness learned about the insurance industry and forged relationships with moving companies and insurers to revolutionize the way people buy moving insurance.
Before RIG helped transform the industry, insurance applications were still done via paper and fax. Now people can go online to get a quick insurance quote. Obtaining coverage is faster and more convenient, and that makes it possible for more people to secure the insurance they need to protect their moves.
Today, RIG provides moving insurance, logistics insurance, storage insurance, truck rental insurance, mobility insurance and more throughout the U.S. and internationally. More than 4,000 moving, storage and self-storage companies have joined the Relocation Insurance Network as affiliates.
RIG was the first company to offer online moving and storage insurance, and it continues to be a tech-forward company bringing new solutions to the moving insurance industry. RIG is now helping moving companies offer embedded insurance solutions. “Embedded insurance will make it even easier for consumers to obtain insurance without a lot of hassle and effort,” Binness says.

Find Out Why Forbes Says You Should Consider Moving Insurance
Published: November 24, 2020, 7:00 a.m. in Forbes Advisor
Due to the pandemic, one-fifth of Americans have either relocated or know someone who has, according to a new Pew Research Center survey. If you’re one of the millions of Americans packing up their homes, buying insurance might be the last thing on your mind.
Most renters and homeowners insurance policies usually do not cover the cost of damaged or lost possessions due to a move. Because moving leaves your belongings exposed to a variety of potential problems, moving insurance might be worth taking a look at.
