Insurance should be understood before the goods leave, not after a problem arises. Ask which cover is available for your move and read the policy wording alongside the quotation. The insurer's terms determine what is covered and how a claim is handled.
Prepare an inventory and discuss how values should be declared. Keep relevant purchase records or other supporting evidence where available, especially for higher-value items.
Tell the team about fragile or unusual belongings. Do not assume a general transport description establishes cover for every item in the shipment.
List the goods you want to discuss, their declared values and your moving details.
Ask which cover is available for your goods and how the premium and other charges are quoted.
Review the written inclusions, exclusions, limits and conditions. Ask for clarification before accepting the proposed cover.
Confirm the agreed arrangements and retain the policy and related moving records.
Ask whom to contact and which records are needed if you need to report an issue. The applicable policy governs any claim.
Confirm the services, responsibilities and proposed arrangements in your quotation before booking.
Discuss Your RequirementsAsk for the insurer's name, insured journey, sum insured, exclusions and any excess or deductible. Check the conditions for packing, handling, storage and delivery that apply to the offered cover.
Compare the wording with the services you are booking. A statement such as insured move is not a substitute for the policy schedule and terms.
Retain the inventory, condition photographs, quotation and shipment documents. At delivery, inspect the goods and record any concern clearly.
Follow the policy's notification and claim instructions promptly. Ask what evidence is needed and keep damaged packaging where relevant until you receive guidance.
Clarify who issues the policy, how the premium is shown and who you should contact about a claim. Claim assessment and settlement are subject to the insurer's process and terms.
Explore packing and moving services alongside the cover discussion. Careful preparation and insurance serve different purposes.
