Transit insurance is a form of cover associated with goods while they are being transported, subject to the applicable policy terms, declared value, exclusions and claim conditions. Customers should not assume that every moving quotation automatically includes identical insurance protection.
Why declared value matters
A declared-value list helps identify the goods and their stated value for documentation. The appropriate valuation method and the actual cover available depend on the insurer or policy terms, so customers should review the documentation before dispatch.
What customers should check
- Whether insurance is included or optional
- What goods and risks are covered
- Applicable exclusions and deductibles
- How value is declared
- What evidence may be required for a claim
- Time limits and claim procedure
For a better move record, prepare a moving inventory before packing begins.
