Key Insights About Freight Insurance:

• Insurance Coverage and Cargo Cover
  Freight insurance provides essential protection against common risks such as loss or damage during transit. This ensures that businesses and individuals can safeguard their shipments, giving them peace of mind every step of the way.
• Who Should Purchase Cargo Insurance?
  The responsibility of purchasing cargo insurance often lies with the sender arranging the shipment. However, receivers or third parties can also secure insurance coverage, allowing flexibility for all parties involved.
• Coverage for New and Used Goods
  For new goods, we offer cargo cover that includes both damages and total loss. For used goods, the coverage is limited to total loss only.
• Mitigating Risks Through Proper Packing
  While cargo insurance minimises risks, adequately packing and securing your goods is crucial. Poor packing can lead to claims being rejected, regardless of insurance coverage. For detailed guidance on proper packing, visit the "How to Prepare a Pallet" section on our website.
• Determining the Cost of Insurance Coverage
  The price of freight insurance depends on the shipment's value and type of goods. Customers can insure shipments within the £100 to £45,000 range during the booking process. For shipments exceeding this limit, requesting a quote is quick and efficient, with a response time usually under 30 minutes.
• Types of Goods Covered by Cargo Insurance
  We offer flexible insurance options that cover a wide array of goods, including car parts, electronics, tools, clothing, furniture, and engines. However, certain high-risk items such as antiques, artwork, and jewellery are excluded. Refer to our online guidelines for a detailed list of restricted and prohibited goods.
• Tips for Relocating Personal Belongings
  If you're moving house and utilising a pallet service for your personal belongings, it might be worth checking with your home contents insurance provider. Many policies include transit coverage for relocation, which can complement or replace standalone cargo insurance.

With Pallet2ship as your dependable freight forwarder, you can efficiently manage shipping risks and ensure the safest transit for your goods. Comprehensive insurance coverage and cargo cover empower businesses and individuals to protect their valuable consignments with ease and confidence.
