How It Works
1
Declare Goods Value
List your major items and their estimated replacement value. Declare the total honestly — under-insurance means partial payout on a claim.
2
Ask for Insurance
Tell us you want transit insurance when you request your quote. Ask what cover is available and read what each option includes.
3
Check Your Written Quote
Your free written quote lists the insurance charge along with every other charge, so you know the total before you confirm.
4
Keep the Policy Papers
Make sure you have the policy document before pickup. Keep it safe — you will need it for any claim.
5
Check Goods on Delivery
Be present at unloading. Check your items against the inventory list before you sign the delivery receipt.
6
Claim If Needed
Photograph any damage immediately on delivery and note it on the receipt. Contact the insurer quickly and follow the claim steps written in your policy.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, transit insurance is optional. It is worth considering if you are moving valuable or fragile items. Ask for it when you request your quote and the charge will be listed in writing.
It depends on the policy. Basic cover usually includes total loss, accidental damage during transit, fire and theft. Wider cover may include breakage of individual items, water damage and partial loss. Read the policy document before paying.
No. Transit insurance covers damage that happens during the move — not damage that existed before loading. Photograph the condition of all valuable items before the movers touch them. This protects you if there is a dispute later.
Step 1: Photograph all damage before moving items from delivery position. Step 2: Note the damage on the delivery receipt before signing. Step 3: Contact the insurer as soon as possible — the policy states the deadline. Step 4: Submit photos, the policy document, and the inventory list.
Declared value is the total replacement cost of all goods being moved. Use what it would cost to replace each item today, not the original purchase price. Under-declaring to save on the insurance charge means a lower payout on a claim.
No. Carrier liability, where it exists, is usually limited and may cover only proven negligence. A separate transit insurance policy covers your goods up to the declared value, subject to the policy terms.
Ask us when you request your quote. Your normal vehicle insurance may not cover damage while the vehicle is carried on a truck, so check with your insurer too.
Generally no. Transit insurance should be arranged before loading begins. Sort it out before the pickup day.
