Goods in Transit Insurance

What is Goods In Transit Insurance?

Goods In Transit Insurance protects you if your property or goods are lost, damaged or stolen while they are moving from one place to another. Whether you’re a small courier business or a large global haulage company, we can help put together a tailored insurance policy to meet your specific business needs.

Do you need Goods In Transit Insurance?

This insurance, as you would expect, is particularly important for courier companies, removal services and haulage businesses. But it is also important for businesses that deliver products to their customers. So, for example, if you run an online shop, Goods In Transit Insurance can protect your products while they’re being delivered to the customer. And remember, if it’s your goods that are being transported, the delivery company's insurance is designed to protect their business, not yours.

What does Goods In Transit Insurance cover?

Goods In Transit Insurance typically covers the goods when they are moving and defined as being ‘under your custody and control’. This means when you are responsible for their safety and security. Goods In Transit policies can differ, so it's important to make sure that you arrange cover that's right for your business. And that's where we come in. But, typically, the policy will cover the following:

Theft

If your goods are stolen whilst in transit, you can receive compensation

Loss

If for some reason your goods are lost, then you will be covered

Damage caused by accidents

If something happens to your goods and they are damaged in an accident, you will be covered

Damage caused during loading or unloading

If something happens to your goods whilst they are being loaded or unloaded then you'll be covered
