When this service fits

Insurance requirements should be discussed before the shipment moves. Tell us the goods, declared value, route and transport stages to be considered. Ask whether temporary storage or multiple movements form part of the proposed cover rather than assuming every stage is included.

What to confirm in your quote

Review the insurer’s actual policy wording, covered period, exclusions, excess and claims requirements before agreeing. A shipping quote or declared cargo value is not itself confirmation that insurance is in place. The agreed insurance documentation determines the cover; no blanket protection is promised.

Common questions

What should I provide to discuss cargo cover?

Send the goods, declared value, packaging, route and transport mode. Identify the proposed collection date; cover and any conditions must be confirmed by the insurer before the shipment moves.

Does insurance cover every loss automatically?

No. Review the policy’s risks covered, exclusions, excess and claims requirements. Ask which documents and evidence would be needed for a claim; a shipment booking is not proof that insurance cover is in place.
