Baker International

What Baker International does

Baker International Insurance Agency is a privately held specialty insurance agency founded in 1981 and headquartered in Lewisville, Texas. The company underwrites all-risk worldwide transit insurance for household goods during packing, loading, transit, storage, unloading and unpacking, with coverage extendable through permanent storage. Its core product portfolio is organized around three customer segments: corporate relocation programs and relocation management company (RMC) partnerships (the primary segment), residential/homeowner moving insurance, and commercial/office moves including high-value electronics and industrial relocations. Supporting products include International Transit Insurance and a Vacant Dwelling Insurance add-on for vacant principal dwellings in the United States and Canada.

The firm's revenue model is insurance premium-based, with pricing calculated on the declared replacement value of each shipment subject to a coinsurance requirement and adjusted for shipment weight, deductible, destination, and other move specifics. Distribution is dual-track: direct enterprise partnerships with corporations and RMCs (delivered with reporting packages for carrier performance monitoring) plus a self-serve residential channel built around an online quick-quote tool, online Statement of Claim filing, and phone-based sales. Claims are settled exclusively by Baker International's in-house claims professionals and are never outsourced; the company markets this in-house handling as a core differentiator. No proprietary technology platform is described in available sources, and the firm does not disclose revenue figures.

The firm self-describes as one of the largest insurance providers exclusively serving the relocation industry and operates with a small specialist team (11-50 employees). It maintains a worldwide coverage footprint for international relocations and provides ancillary services such as door-to-door protection that remains consistent throughout the entire move including storage periods. Ownership is private with no disclosed parent, private equity, or venture capital backing, and the company has operated independently under the same focus since founding.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Liberty Mutual Insurance: Large national P&C carrier offering moving and relocation-related coverage within a broad personal and commercial lines portfolio. Competes with Baker in the same end-product category but as one product among many, often sold through bundling.
• Travelers: Major U.S. P&C insurer with specialty coverages including moving and transit insurance for personal and commercial customers. Overlaps with Baker's offerings but as part of a much broader insurance portfolio distributed through large agent networks.
• Allianz Global Assistance: Global insurer and assistance provider offering international moving and relocation insurance products. Comparable to Baker's international transit insurance capability, but offered as part of Allianz's worldwide travel, mobility, and assistance ecosystem.

Others

• North American Van Lines: Large U.S. van line offering moving services with optional valuation/full-value protection plans. Comparable end-customer value proposition for relocating households, though coverage is provided via mover programs rather than a dedicated insurance agency like Baker.
• Marsh McLennan: Global insurance broker and risk advisor serving corporate clients, including those with employee relocation programs. Comparable to Baker at the brokerage/intermediary layer for corporate clients, though Marsh is a diversified, much larger platform.
• Aon: Global insurance brokerage and risk advisory firm that places specialty coverages including transit and relocation programs. Comparable to Baker's broker/agency role, but operating at vastly larger scale across many lines of business.
• Atlas Van Lines: Major U.S. van line that offers valuation and protection coverage options as part of its household goods moving service. Adjacent peer because it is in the same customer workflow and offers insurance-adjacent protection, though not a stand-alone insurance carrier.
• Allied Van Lines: Major U.S. van line offering household goods moving with built-in valuation protection options. Adjacent peer because it operates in the same relocation ecosystem and bundles insurance-like protection into its core moving service.

Direct peers

• MovingInsurance.com: Online-first provider of household goods transit insurance for residential and commercial moves. Directly comparable to Baker's residential/homeowner and commercial/office product lines, with a self-serve digital distribution model.
• National Interstate Insurance Company: Specialty insurer focused on moving, trucking, and transportation-related insurance products. Comparable to Baker because it underwrites niche commercial and consumer coverage tied to the moving/transportation value chain, though with a broader trucking emphasis.
