Relocation Insurance

Insurance is an important part of the removal process.  From the time Transworld starts packing your shipment until the goods are delivered to your destination our insurance policy covers your goods against all insurable risks.  With Transworld being a major shipper of personal effects we have worked hard at securing the best cover at very reasonable rates with low excesses.

Special cover that comes FREE - our policy automatically covers for mechanical and electrical derangement, other companies will charge an additional premium for this cover.  We are also able to extend free in store insurance up to 120 days when shipping internationally if stored with Transworld by simply completing the Insurance Proposal form.

You must make sure that all goods in your shipment are covered, not just certain items.  Not insuring your whole consignment will be considered as under-insuring your whole consignment will be considered as under-insuring and any claim would be subject to average with the claim being reduced by the same percentage that the goods were underinsured.

The cost of shipping your goods can also be insured so that in the unlikely event of the shipment not turning up or being totally destroyed you will also be compensated for the shipping costs you paid to Transworld rather than just the value of the effects.

Items that we are unable to insure: cash, jewellery, precious stones, coins, stamps, software data, securities.  For all other exclusions see the reverse of the insurance proposal.

Cartons or packages that you pack yourself can only be insured for loss and not damage (see the back of the insurance proposal for further information).  We also require an inventory of contents of all owner packed cartons/packages - this is required for both insurance and customs clearance.
